    Silkie with Spraddle / Splay Leg...

    It's true. Little kids and little animals can really be a recipe for disaster. My son is seriously that kid that is literally swinging from the chandeliers. lol He learned a good solid lesson though when he was being super rough with our newly rescued coonhound and she gave him a strong...

    Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my kids. They are very sweet (mostly!). :) My daughter is super gentle all the time, and my son is gentle sometimes. He's 2, so at times he gets a little physical. I only bring the chicks out when they're both feeling particularly calm, and all the...

    Thanks! HUGE sigh of relief over here! I'm so excited to see this chick doing well. I feel great about it! You might even be able to see my smile from the other end of this country! :)

    Look who's up and walking around! We are SO happy! My daughter named him/her Tomorrow because it hatched a full day later than the rest of the chicks.

    The hatch is done, but I'm happy with 10. It's way more than I hoped for after all that went on! :)

    Anyone going to have eggs hatch in novemeber?

    Just had 10 Silkies hatch over the weekend! :) So excited! I have 4 white, 1 red, 1 splash, 2 blue, and 2 black! One of the whites needed help out of the egg, but is now doing fine. The Splash hatched with splay leg, but I'm treating it and it is doing well! Good luck on the Nov. hatches...

    Crazy Hatching Lady???

    Hi all! Newbie here, but I figured if anyone could get me, it'd be you guys! :) After growing up in Manhattan my whole life, my family and I moved to CT a short 5 years ago. We've been keeping chickens for 3.5 years, but we've wanted Silkies since before we had chicks - probably since before...

    Silkie with Spraddle / Splay Leg...
