Ok you two that is way to much cuteness. I think you should send me say half of each of your boxes.

Super glad they all made it.

If those cheeks were any poofier the little one would not be able to see.

The legs and toes are the wrong color for it to be a silkie. Maybe a Salmon Faverolles or Dorking? OK with beard maybe Faverolles?

I cannot tell what kind of chick that is but he/she is cute!

Oops - edit- just noticed this is a Cackle thread.

Those are the mottled houdans!
Wait, are you sure they have feathered legs and 5 toes? Mine that look like that didn't. :/ go to their website under mottled houdan and click the video. They look just like them.

Sometimes chicks are hatched with silly feathers on the legs that are small and should not be there for the breed. They tend to lose them early on if they are not in the breed description.
