despite what I said earlier...
























... on impulse I bought some partridge silkie hatching eggs. Surprisingly all 12 were fertile and 10 hatched (using an Brinsea Octagon 10 incubator). One has curled toes, and had to wear sellotape and cardboard bootees for a couple of days, but is now walking fairly well, with just a little tape to hold the toes in place.
