    yes, I lost most of this hatch due to either too much humidity or my early hatcher that played football with all the eggs. So I made a holder with an old egg carton with the bottoms cut out to hold the eggs next time and lower the humidity. I downed the poor things. So upsetting to open and...

    I read a study done recently about hens being able to expel any unwanted semen from a roo she doesn't like. So she could mate with 4 different roos and only take in the roo she liked.

    On the silkie thread again. Took this to show what a pair would look like. I don't know if these are M/F yet but this is what a breeding pair should look like from what I have learned so far. A sizzle and a smooth. Any other input please! I am new at this too.

    On the silkie question. It could have been a smooth sizzle silkie. You need the smooth to breed with the sizzle. The feathers look normal but do not have the barbs. Here are a few of my 2 mo old sizzle smooth silkies. Not great pics with phone.
