My silkie eggs haven't hatched I think it is just bad luck it was also my first time using my incubator which i got for christmas am quite disappointed but i guess these things happen

On a positive note i am due to be getting some more silkie eggs on saturday

NOT through the post as i don't have any luck with this

[sjp]

when were they due to hatch?

[Gloss-Hen]

They were due to hatch yesterday I've put my ear up to the incubator and haven't heard anything or seen any movements

Time yet - don't give up!!! I've had silkies hatch at 22 - 23 days. There is hope!

ok, some questions..

 

Did you let the eggs settle at room temperature before setting them?

Have you minimised temperature drops?

What temp was the inc?

Did you maintain humidity?

Did you candle them? and what were the results?

 

 

and finally, don't write them off until about 2-3 days after you expect them to hatch, nature is not a controlled experiment

This hatching is a scary process so many questions, ifs and buts

 

I thought keeping chooks was a steep learning curve but hatching and incys is a whole new learning experience and I think I have failed at the first hurdle

 

Good luck Gloss-Hen it sounds like there is still hope from what the expereinced Omleteers say.

i would love a go but the stress would kill me. i will read and learn and coo over your little chucks on Omlet

Don't give up sounds like they still could hatch.

[Gloss-Hen]

candled them and they were all dead inside we did find one with chipped shell and embro broken a bit I have put some more eggs in and i have a broody sitting on some so hopefully I will have some chicks to look forward to

Ahh very sorry to hear that. It is heartbreaking, but Mother Nature knows best & only the strong chicks make it out themselves. Hopefully these next eggs will be more successful for you.
