Congrats to the winners! Those were all great stories! I enjoyed reading all the stories on this thread so thanks everyone for sharing!

I hope it goes well for you this time around!!!

Aw, Bailey sounds so cute! Haha, such a funny, cute story I can just imagine the confusion on her face! Thanks for sharing with us. I am so sorry! It's so hard when hatches don't work out and you spend three weeks waiting and watching and then you don't get any baby Chickies in turn. I hope...

It is! Oh my goodness! Any out yet?! You have to post pics when they get their cute little fluffy butts out of the eggshells!

This was such a cute story! I loved Christina's sass and all your chickens names! I'm so sorry you lost her, but thank you for sharing such a cute story about your chickens.

I know! @Lilmissesmom Have any of them hatched out yet?!

Oh, how cool! I hope your hatch has a good turnout! I always get so exciting with hatching eggs! It's almost better than Christmas, haha! Peck, babies, peck!

I agree! Thank you so much! Both of these were beautiful stories! I enjoyed reading them a lot! Don't chickens just make the world a better place?

Oh, and I totally get what you said! Haha, I could make a huge list of the breeds I want next year and I know I won't be able to get them! Haha.

She was actually a partridge Silkie. She was reddish brown with some gold. As far as I could tell at least. But Gingie wasn't 100% Silkie. She was actually mixed with something else along the way, because she had a single comb and white skin. But, I do have a reddish-buff female Silkie right now...

Thank you so much! I know, she was so adorable! I loved her so much! Of course! I haven't shared her story in a while since this happened in 2013, but I still think about her all the time. I think Sophie missed her too, we didn't have another Silkie Hen for him, and he just was never the same...

Okay, so, these photos aren't great quality because I took a picture of a picture off of my other camera, but I had to find a way to share some photos of Gingie. So here they are! Hopefully you guys can at least somewhat see her...

Thank you both so much! Both of your stories were great too!

Oh, absolutely! By the way your chicks all had such cute names!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read it though! I really appreciate it! And for all your nice comments!

Yes, I have a few pictures of her as well, but I sadly can't upload the kind of memory card they are on into my tablet. I would have shared one of her.

To add, I knew absolutely nothing about hatching but had no broodies. But I got Silkie eggs from Florida and hatched them in the incubator. I have a whole bunch of stories I could tell about them too. But I know we're only allowed one. Haha.

I know! Oh, my goodness! I didn't get over the initial shock till morning and when I did I immediately thought that I had two of her (Gingie's ) eggs in the refrigerator. But there were both about a week old, but I had to try, so I went and got an incubator set it all up and set her two eggs...

Haha, thank you all! I wrote it, and I think you may need those tissues. I even cried a little writing it. I hope you guys enjoy, as I have enjoyed so much reading all of your stories! Thanks so much for sharing about your amazing chickens lives!

Gingie- The Bravest Little Silkie Hen I happened upon Gingie on a bright summer day. There were three unexpected roosters in our chick order from the hatchery and being a new chicken keeper I didn't feel competent enough to keep them, I also didn't want anyone being rough with my girls, so I...
