We're 1/2 way thru day 20 and just had our first pip!!!...No peeps, zips or blurps, just a pip! 4 left from a batch of 8 Silkie eggs!
 
I have a Buff Silkie on 9 eggs she is on day 13 they all are growing well she had 10 but one was a dud not fertile. Then I have a partiridge on 8 one got away from her last night so I tossed it. So seven for her. She is on day 7... So excited this is my second time! I will post pics when I upload.
 
Oh man, that's a lot of eggs! I never give my Silkies more than about 4-5, too scared they won't cover them well.
 
So thought i would ask since yall all are silkie lovers. Any idea why my silkie lays eggs then stops? She is in with the roo and they have there own little coup and yard to free range in. It drives me nuts i should be getting a egg everyday right?
