Oh and if anyone remembers me being nervous about my EE x silkie crosses maybe being straight EEs.... All 5 are indeed crosses complete with feathered feet and extra toes. I cannot wait to see how these cuties look grown up.

It is officially day 22 now and we have 8 babies. 2 EE eggs never pipped and are still in the incubator for another 24 hours just in case.

I will post pictures once everyone is fluffed up and moved to the brooder.

I have a white silkie roo and a rainbow of EE hens, so I will just have to wait and see what colors I end up.

6 out of 10 have hatched so far. And it looks like I did get at least 2 EE x silkie crosses so far. Black feathered feet with extra toes are kind of a dead giveaway. Haha. (Also I may have been up until nearly 2 am watching one hatch.)

We have 2 chicks hatched!!! I'm so happy. Yay!

The hens they are from are all almost a year old, but the silkies have only been laying for a few months. They weren't refrigerated or anything, stored on the counter for just a couple days before going in the incubator.

They were not shipped eggs, just gathered from my own flock.

We have a second pip! Also not at at the air cell. 😬 Any suggestions as to why they are pipping the wrong spot? Or what to do different for my next hatch so that doesn't happen?

I tried uploading a video but it said the file format isn't supported. But it's doing good, hasn't made much more progress, but we see the beak and hear cheeps!

It's day 20. But so far just the one pip.

Yes one had pipped before I got home but that was it. Haha

We have a pip! Not at the air cell though.

My husband thinks he's funny.

It's day 18 on my babies. So we have gone into lockdown and I am so excited! Honestly I'm kinda glad I'm working during this hatch or I would be glued to my incubator 24/7 for the next 3 days. 🤣🤣🤣

Air cells look good, seem to be growing like they should. And I don't do dry hatching. Nothing would make it, I live in a literal desert. I keep humidity around 45% until lockdown.

Silkies and hopefully some silkie x EE crosses but they could be straight EE. It'll be a surprise. Haha

Thank you! This is my first experience hatching bantams so I'm kinda clueless. Haha.

Hey I had a quick question and figured you awesome people could help me out. It's day 16 on my eggs, so I removed the egg turner. I have a mix of bantam and standard eggs incubating. So what day would you call lockdown and increase the humidity?

Sorry the picture quality is lousy, but day 14 and looks like all 10 are developing nicely.
