    Hi Mary, How are you? Years ago, I bought some lovely silkie eggs from you. I was wondering if you still have silkies, and if you offer hatching eggs? I have bought eggs from many different breeders over the years, and yours are some of my favorite birds. Thanks Mary! Becky

    Great posts! I have a question....for your first feeding, did you use raw egg yolk or hardboiled yolk? I'm expecting an egg to hatch in about a week, and I want everything prepared ahead of time. Thanks!

    Cruel Irony.

    Oh no! That's so sad :( Why is it always the sweetest ones that horrible things happen to? It is amazing she found her way back home--who says chickens aren't smart? She sounds like an intelligent chicken, and I'm sorry for what happened.
