Here's the rest of him, I think he's going to be super colorful and pretty, it looks like he'll have a little crest too, and he has 5 toes on each foot.

I'm pretty sure Grinch in a cockerel, this was taken at 3 1/2 to 4 weeks. This is a brown EE x white silkie chick.

It's possible... I need to give my hens a genetics lesson so they start passing on their W chromosomes. 😬

These both hatched December 17th so 5 weeks old! Star is a purebred silkie from an egg I got from a breeder, Max is from a white EE hen and a white TSC silkie roo. I set 14 eggs from the breeder (they had been on vacation and didn't know how old the eggs were etc) just the one hatched, so...

And Star, I think this is the floofiest of all the silkies I've ever hatched 🤣 it looks like a huge chunky chick, but it's just all floof 😁

@TwoCrows here are photos of Max! It's such a worried looking little chick, I'm really hoping this pure white cutie is a pullet! I think "she" is going to be a beautiful one 🥰

I'm so eggcited! We are 4 days away from setting eggies!

I'm setting eggs next Friday if all goes as planned! Which it might not, so I may set eggs the week after 🤣

Geez, had to fix that post, spelling and had some extra words in there 🙄

I will be putting all her eggs into one hatching section and I'll be banding them (the stretchy chick leg bands) I want to track who hatches from her eggs to watch for any frazzles, plus any cockerels will be split to chocolate and I want to keep track of them. I have a hatch tracker, I'll add...

I know they say the rounder eggs being pullets and the longer eggs being cockerels is a myth, but all 4 of Freya's eggs are nice and round and I would LOVE to have them all hatch out as pullets! Who am I kidding, I'd love for 100% of this pen of silkies eggs to hatch out pullets 🤣🤣🤣

I need to take some photos this weekend!

I noticed Freya the chocolate silkie wasn't settling down last night with the other silkies, she looked like she was on a mission, I found another perfect little eggie in the box this morning. I now have 4 exactly like this, I think they are the most perfect eggs ever laid! They seem to have...

Y You know, now that I think about, maybe she was helping them grow out of their spikes, it did look like she was removing the feather casings 🤣 Barber Max 🤣 that is one pretty chickie though, still pure white.

I found out who is doing their hair!!! It's none other than YOUR Max!!! I watched her work on Frosty's spikes, I'll just say I wouldn't want her doing my hair, she was not gentle at all. Quite some gruff pecks, grabs, and yanks going on there, but the results speak for themselves. Very Paris...

I got a few more this morning, they have some WILD floofs going on 🤣 Grinch is in the very back, he didn't want his photo taken, I was trying to get his top hat he's sprouting, but check out the white one 🤣 Here's a better on of Grinch's hair do 😊 its like a peacock's head tiara right now.

Thank you!

The little chicks are hitting their rebellios teen stage and rocking some weird hair dos I couldn't quite capture it, but Grinch is starting to sprout some sort of a crest 😁 Noel, not impressed with me interupting her sleepy time to take photos. I'm really curious what her adult...

I got everyone locked in for the night, the temperature has been steadily falling, it's down to 18, 14 deg left to drop 🥶 the silkies are bedding down under the heat lamp and thankfully the wind isn't really blowing, just a slight breeze, which is more than plenty! I had to carry buckets of...

You are spot on! You know what they say, when you find something you like, get it in every color... lol! I'm trying to stay with just BBS and chocolate, I might cross a few chocolates to get some mauves, I recently decided why not also have a paint / black pen...
