The power strip my incubator is plugged into got turned off sometime last week on Monday. Eggs were cold when I noticed. I turned it on and hoped. Eggs looked ok when I checked two days later.
So today was day 21. Silkies usually start hatching the day before but that didn't happen. However early this morning I had this little one hatch.
I have 9 or 10 in there now out of 20 eggs. There are several visible pips and one was almost zipped when I last looked.
Looks like I may have a few blue partridge which is what I was going for. I also have a chance for some splash partridge as one of the roosters is a blue partridge and two of the hens in there are as well.
