At least you got some chicks! wee.gif I think Silkies are hard to hatch in general. I had a problem with both of my batches.... Or maybe its my incubating skills.... lau.gif

Well I can't believe how long this hatch took. I haven't gotte another chick since day before yesterday that belonged in that hatch. I did get 4 little quail last night though celebrate.gif

 

So my total hatched was 15 and I lost 2. One of the 15 was also a quail. I should be around the corner dropping some of these off at the auction, but haven't done it and the auction started 7 minutes ago. OOPS!

How wonderful to have an auction so close . . . really supports a hatching addiction to have a ready outlet for the chicks!! D.gif

I had to give up my last flock when we moved here and my husband didn't realize that although I didn't like the house I could walk to the auction. SURPRISE!  We had a much bigger place in escrow and had decided to look even furthur for maybe something bigger when he died, so I'm stuck here till I can find something uber cheap! Like land and a shack. Just before he died I had been there and bought 12 hens and he was resting, so didn't know. He handed me $200 and said "Go buy you some more chickens."  So, I ran back and bought a bunch more. Should have seen his face when he saw all the extra birds that had no coop. LOL  He never did get the chance to build what I wanted, but I still have a few of those birds. These days though I just drop off and sell and if some of the supplies look good I'll stay and try to buy them if I can get them cheap enough.

I take care of, one husband, three daughters, one dog, two cats, many fish.......  and of course, chickens!

~1 Easter Egger, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Light Brahma, and 4 Bantam Cochins, 3 Silkies and various chicks.
