My 2 youngest chicks are 12 weeks old today. I have been taking a weekly picture of them since they hatched. It's pretty clear now that I have a pair.

If anyone is interested here is a slide show from day 1 to week 12.

Due to my health and then my husband having open heart surgery, we had to give up our chickens. I hated to do that but neither of us would have been able to tend to them in this winter cold. He is not yet able to get out in the yard to do anything. Still have my run and coops and everything but just can't have anything right now to have to take care of. I so hope we can maybe this next year!

Racuda that is so neat watching them grow - very pretty birds

Thanks workinnanie. Keep them crossed tight. I always had a soft spot for the silkies. But there were some more I had that I loved just as much. I had the perfect sets in each pen and I may not be able to get to get that perfect set back again. I love those white silkies in racuda's post. Beautiful just beautiful!

Martha Jenkins, Winchester, KY. I'm really pleased with my very first Silkies, lots of promise here! Out of 17 eggs that made it to lockdown (out of 20), 14 hatched. Shipped eggs.

Congrats!!! I had one young one like you and her name is Charlie because she had me fooled she was a boy because she developed her comb and wattles so much earlier than the other girls. Immediately after laying she went broody!
