Wedding Anniversary Hatchalong!

[Poodlemum]

It’s been a all day chicken day! Three little silkie eggs have finally arrived after being in the post since Saturday. It was a random eBay find for super cheap and our first time hatching eggs. Let’s see what happens!!!

A quickie peek at one of the silkie eggs and we have VEINS!!!

So I’m pretty sure all the silkies quit (one didn’t develop at all). I’m leaving one in just in case. I see no veins and it looks like a blood ring, but there is a tiny black dot now. So I’m not sure what’s up… Will candle again in a few days and post pics

Silkie egg from day 6, Thursday
