On the 19th I put 15 Silkie eggs and 7 Faverolles eggs (from my pair) into my new incubator. I checked them at 7 days and, unfortunately, only 5 of the Silkie eggs were developing. I cracked open the clears and they looked like they were not fertile. I checked a couple days later and one of the 5 Silkie eggs had a blood ring so I had to throw it out. Right now I have only 4 Silkie eggs that are doing well. 1 Cuckoo, 1 Splash, and 2 White. I also threw in 7 Faverolles eggs from my pair and 6 of them are developing great. One of those also had a blood ring and I had to throw it out.. which I expected because all but 2 of the Faverolles eggs that I put into the incubator had been washed and in my fridge for eating! I didn't expect much out of them but I've been pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to get some babies from Derp and Penny!
Sorry, no pictures this time! Lockdown is due on Sun. Jan 5th.
