My black silkie, Midnight, hatched 2 ADORABLE silkie chicks, they are so tiny. Midnight's sister, lucky, raised 5 Speckled Rhode island chicks and did amazing she was so protective, she would even attack our dog to protect her chicks. We could never touch the chicks without getting pecked. early...
