Just catching up, I've had my grandson here.
I think a silkie would be great for Hawk(e?)! A weeks difference in age isn't much.
I'm sorry some folks had little to no chicks hatch, that is so hard. I hope no one gives up though.
Big thanks to Ron for being so supportive and helpful all...
: I hope it works out! :fl:fl I have an egg in the bator, that I pulled from the broody, it's been pipped since yesterday morning with no progress. I'm afraid it is going to need some assistance before the night is over.
Once the chicks were peeping in the bator, I was scared the cat would do just what yours did!
In a day or 2, I'll move them to a brooder out in the workshop that is a cat-free zone.
