Silkie chickens... how long for chicks to hatch once eggs are layed?

All chickens (This means your Silkie) lay eggs and once they are incubated they take about 3 weeks (21 days) to finally hatch out of their shell. Once you get an egg, take it from the chicken and put it in an incubator set at 90-95 degrees farenheit. Make sure you have a heated lamp to put the chicks in once they are born.

Then put them in a box lined with newspaper. Cover the box with a blanket at all times to keep the heat inside the box. Make sure you have a waterer and a feeder.

I suggest chicken starter food for your baby chicks which the food looks like flour. Do not get give them broken up corn until they are about 1 month old or a little less. And please make sure you get a waterer that they will not fall in and drown.

Here are some helpful links/pictures of what you should have: Chicken box: http://www.subletteranch.com/chick-in-bo… Heat lamp.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
