    Thanks! Is there anything else I should know, that's different for incubating Silkies?

    So ~97-99° Fahrenheit? When I incubated mine I used 99.5 and while the Brahmas were 11 hatched of 13, the Silkies were 4 hatched of 12. Could that temp be my problem? (All were shipped eggs but all developed for at least a little while.)

    There is no such thing as *n* chickens. It is always *n* + a "few". :gig :ya

    Well, yes, but there are degrees of "large." My Brahmas are LF, but so are my Dominiques, so I thought you might have something more specific you were aiming for.

    I thought it would get colder than us, there where you are... we are sometimes 20-30° below at night in winter. It doesn't happen every year, but more and more often of late, and when it does, it stays and recurs through the winter. That seems awfully cold for chickens, but they (the standard...

    I've been wondering how the silkies do for cold tolerance, esp the smaller ones. I hatched out some little ones this spring and now I'm hoping they won't be miserable this winter. I'll probably build them their own little coop once they're a bit more grown up, in the fenced part of the the back...

    Holy smokes! Showing him in your arms really brings home how huge he is. And he's grown so fast! Do you think he'll have health problems like CX do? Do you expect him to be as long-lived as any other heritage breed?
