My dh and I candled the silkies eggs last night,she was suppose to be laying on 5 eggs and there was seven and this little tiny one,the other silkie has been laying eggs in her nest,I had seen them togather but thought nothing of it.The other one must be young because she laid two a few weeks ago they were really soft shelled and fell apart.So I don`t know how old these other eggs are.All the eggs looked like they were fertile of coarse this is my first at candling.I think they are due to hatch the 15th.They will be silkie and cochin,I wish they were all silkie but thats ok they will be cute little chicks.Will she stay on the others untill they hatch?There may a few days or maybe a week untill the others would hatch.She was the one that set for 25 days on two eggs that turned out to be infertile.The picture is blurry but thats a nickel beside it to show you how small it is
