That is exciting! I hope you post new pics from time to time. We have silkies and barred rocks too and I thought about crossing... Our barred chick is now 6 weeks and soooper calm and sweet. :D Imagining the cross just melts my heart!

I would like to breed blue cream Silkies. Need advice on set up, selection, breeding practices, special care for this breed and types of record keeping.

3. Special breeding practices for this...

She is a frizzle Silkie cross I believe.
The breeder has two different kinds of buff, splash, and black.
I do not know much more than that. I would be happy with any color but I’m excited thinking...

Checks in the Bruder and show them where food and water was. They very quickly started to eat and drink and now they’re sleeping.
I canceled the rest of the eggs and there was no activity!
Good news everyone! Two chicks hatched between last night and today. Today happens to also be day 25. I do not see pictures on the other three eggs. When should I remove the two checks that have hatched?
Yes!!! I agree!! I am a school teacher, watching the clock! I can't wait to go home. Shouldn't I be allowed to take maternity leave!!!!???? LOL :lol::lol::lol:
