Silkies

Where are all of the silkworms at I can't find them. I'm out because everyone seems to be out any ideas.

I usually get mine from mulberry farms or coastal silkworms and they're both out at the moment I believe

Yes tgey are I ordered 25 from a place called tge silkworm shop but my main supplier coastal is the best at sending them and they always survive the trip so I prefer coastal. Tgey also make things right when the shipment kills them very professional.

You could always try raising them from eggs. My first time was pretty successful.

i have 250 eggs right now that have been bluish grayish for about 4 days now so if they hatch which they should then i will be set. But 4 days of them being that color they may not cause at coastal they said they should have hatched already

Have any idea what causes this? My moths laid quite a bit of eggs and most of them are stuck in the bluish grayish color as well for over a month now.

I think it may be a humidity issue. Check Pigglett79's blog about raising silks. I also had the same problem but it was during the winter and my house is pretty dry.
