, YAY!!! I have a silkie egg pipping!!!!

[MagsC]

I am not going to be on here very long but I am SO excited!!!!! I have a silkie egg from SundownWaterfowl pipping! And the little bugger is peeping up a storm. I am SO keeping my fingers crossed. So far no others are pipping but my temps were at 99/100 so maybe they were delayed just a bit. LOL, Halloween baby, a white one according to whats on the egg, any ideas what to name it if it hatches?
I will be back on later. Send hatching vibes!

How about, Boo?

Well, the silkie is still in the egg but one of the EE/silkie cross eggs I got from KellyHM is zipped and out!! I think the peeping from the other egg encouraged him,lol,because that was FAST! I am leaving him in the hatcher for now because I dont want to open it while the hatch is going on, but what a precious baby!
Going offline again but will be back on later tonight to update.

Well, the silkie egg is being SLOW but two more of the silkie mixes I got from KellyHM are pipped and working their way out! I am keeping my fingers crossed on everyone else.
Lots of peeping going on.

Oh and I am brain dead, I cant see it real well from here but I think the silkie egg just says silkie on it. I dont know WHY I thought I saw a W???? See what happens when I quickly turn them 3 times a day, only candle a couple of times and now shine the flashlight in to see what progress is being made because I refuse to open the bator at least until sometime tomorrow????
I didnt pay as much attention to the writing as I might have. My mistake.

One silkie, two silkie mixes out and another silkie mix almost out.

So far from the one hatch, five babies. One reddish blonde colored, one silvery blonde colored, one black/blonde, one grey/black and one black with a tophat.

I have more silkie mix eggs due today so we will see what happens.
Truth be told, this is the best I have done as far as eggs. Maybe all the practice.Sigh. Though I am sure I dont have it down to an exact science yet!
