My two silkies have been sitting on buff orbington eggs for 23 days now and nothing
.
I candled on day 21 and the 3 eggs I looked at didn't let light through except at the top where the air bubble is at. I've never done this before so I'm not an expert candler but I did compare them with unfertilized egg and they were nothing alike. Could the eggs seem so dense because they're rotten inside? Should I try to pip one of the eggs myself to see if anything is going on inside? Or should I just keep waiting? If so for how long? If the eggs won't hatch what on earth will I do with my silkies????? They will be so depressed...
