    Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

    Well I saw my Salmon Favorelle Rooster paying some attention to a couple of my White Silkies. I don't know much about Genetics but I thought Salmon Silkies would be neat. It looks like most got strong Favorelle genes. Almost all did not get the gene for Black Skin etc. So I guess I'll end up...

    Orphans

    Orphans

    I found one of my Silkie Hens killed today. She had 4 6 week old chicks. Now they have no mom and it's going down to 15 degrees tonight. I brought them in but wondering if they would make it outside with no hen? They are feathered out pretty good. Am I overreacting? How long until they can take...

    how long after internal pip?

    They are all inside, it's just not 98 degrees in here. In order to do that I'd have to set up my Incubator. I could pretty quick, do you think it's necessary?
