Hi, @artsy.owl ! I’m also just south of Birmingham, in Shelby County, and an artist as well! Nice to meet you

Hi Kayla! I’m also in Alabama... welcome!

I bought an assortment of hatching eggs that could include sizzles, frizzles, smooth silkies. These babies are 8 weeks old today. The first question, would they be considered smooth silkies? And secondly, are they both Roos? The paint is much larger than the rest. The Black is the second...

They did not. I think it’s just luck of the draw, honestly. 4 of the 5 are smooth sizzle, so I’m hoping this next batch will give me the “curled” sizzle. (Not sure I’m even using the correct terms lol)

I will most definitely keep you all posted

I’m happy to say that the breeder is shipping me 12 more eggs today.! Faith in humanity restored!

You know, I think I’m going to do that. I got them from a pretty reputable breeder, and as I was looking at the chicks earlier, 2 of them have single combs! I paid $85 for 12 sizzle hatching eggs and didn’t get a single one.

Well, darn. I went out on a limb and spent way more money than I should on 12 sizzle hatching eggs... only 5 hatched, and not a single one of them are sizzles! All the others are smooth silkies. But hey... at least they are cute!

I bought a variety of sizzle hatching eggs. She’s a 12 week old showgirl. Is there a certain type for this feathering, or is it just typical of a showgirl?

Great. Thank you!

Anyone want to take a guess on the breed of this baby? I bought an assortment of hatching eggs, and unfortunately didn’t see which egg this one came from. Possibly a polish or FBCM?

Sadly, she didn’t make it :(

Here is the list of giardia symptoms. She literally has every one of them.

Y’all aren’t going to believe this, but I have figured out what’s wrong with her- never would’ve guessed it! So, I wiped her down earlier to check for cuts or injuries. Nothing. Dried her off, put her back in the brooder and turned to drain the water. Heard the most awful noise. Turned and...

She wasn’t/isn’t broody... my other 2 were. I got eggs from a friend for the 2 other hens to sit on, not her.
