I hatched this baby last week from a silkie egg labeled blk aka black (I don’t know much else about the chickens in the breeding pen). It looks sort of blue and sort of partridge! I’m curious what color it may be?
I’m raising my first little bantam flock and am loving seeing all my chicks personalities blossom! I’ve hand raised them and they are extremely docile/accepting of some cuddling, but sometimes are skittish and weary.
If they stayed this way forever, I’d be thrilled to have such sweet feathered...
@kurby22 I’m so glad this thread has been helpful! My porcelains sure seem to be a pair right now! Who I love dearly. I think the pink on my guy was brighter after looking at Ang’s pics again, whose girl gave me a lot of hope! I think it goes to show that there’s variation and things can change...
Hello! This is such an interesting thread. I know it’s old but would love to learn what happened after the 5 month mark! Also what dosage were you using 🧐
Thanks so much!! Are you primarily looking at comb?
I would love to have more than one lady, but I have to say 1 is the only one that has screamed girl to me as they’ve grown thus far. Time will tell and I will be keeping a much closer eye on that chin area!
(I’m excited to add some fluffier...
I so appreciate everyone chiming in! I’ve learned so much : )
And I’m definitely happy to hear I can keep some hope alive for 3! It will be interesting to see development over the next week or two. Either way duccles have quickly stollen my heart..I’ll need to get some MF pullets asap 😅
Hello hello!
These partridge chickies are about 6 weeks. I have some thoughts on the sex of each..and those thoughts change by the hour! Im excited to start training my eye for this though. I’ve got 5 straight run cuties from Ideal - I don’t think they’ll have beards. Their head feathers are...
Okay it’s a day early but some ~6 week updates
MF1

MF2
Porcelain 3
(holding out a tiny bit of hope, but coming to terms that this little love bug is a dood. Maybe one that can stay sweet)
Porcelain 4
(Also such a sweetie)
One more side profile. The nose is still flat, but maybe there isn’t hope. In the meantime I’m dreaming about the 5000 other chickens I need to also get.
