    Incredibly fuzzy! What color is it? The silke roo was very obviously partridge as a chick. It doesnt look porcelain.

    Any guesses? If its pure its sired by a blue partridge and momma is blue or splash. If its not pure its sired by Chocolate orp and momma is blue. It has all characteristics of a silkie, just washed out.

    I live in SE Alaska. Our winter has been mild this year and my flock does alot of ranging. Normal winters they would stay closer to the coop. I only bring them in if they show signs of illness, I did lose one hen that has always been thin. She had been weak since hatch though, had I left her...

    I use DE when I change my chips. I use wood stove pellets to. My coop stays dry. Never gross or damp. I have 12 large bantams in a 16 square foot coop at night. They sleep in a pile. They have never roosted. Only time we hadany respitory problems was from Hay with a dryer on it.

    Her belly is opened :(. I may have jumped the gun on incubating. Apparently eggs gotten to cold can develop but at hatch have problems regardless of ideal incubation. The warm up here in Alaska gave me hope for hatching I know some of the eggs were gathered warm so I will keep trying.

    I only assist enough to make sure they can get air and to tent if they lose moisture. I honestly think they are pipping a vessel. Their mom BruceLee literally sprung from her egg and had to be removed from the bator immediately cause the other chicks half out of eggs were being kicked all over...

    Silkie thread!

    I have been incubating for a few years now. This is just weird. They pipped early then slowly lose strength and die. They never seem strong and die in shell. I opened the first one. Other than a slightly bloody membrane, everything looked good. Including the yolk was gone. My D'anvers still...
