These blue girls are too cute! We would love to keep them but we can't keep them all! This is a great way to get started silkie pullets without having to go through the guesswork of raising day-old chicks.
These little ladies were hatched on our farm on 5/3/20. As with all of our chickens...

I keep my silkies in a very secure outdoor yard (chain link fence with chain-link roof) I knew before I acquired them that they are essentially walking Chicken McNuggets. I can't blame predators for wanting to try and eat them.
I often see a beautiful Red-Tail (or sometimes a Cooper's) hawk...
Here's one of my little brooder set-ups. They're in a large Rubbermaid tub, there's some low perches off to the left of the photo for them to practice perching on. I have a window screen that fits over it when I'm not taking pictures of the little guys :)
