Lavender teaching the chicks -

I can't believe how strange black chick skin looks! This is my first time seeing a Silkie and their skin is so weird (and cute). The black one is especially strange - everything on it is black, eyes,beak, feet, fuzz, toe nails. Lavender seems to love picking shavings off of the black chick.

Quote: Yay! We can have sister (hopefully girls ) silkie chicks!

Quote: They are silkies - I bought the eggs from equus2

I know they look like everybody elses chicks, but........I think they are sooo cute!

Ahhhhh I am in love with these little babies! They are soooo sweet. They've started to come out from underneath Lavender to eat and drink. Then when they're done they all run back underneath her. It's so cute! One bad thing - Lavender did a HUGE poo (3 days worth) in the brooder. I cleaned...

Lavender is a very good broody, she let me look at the eggs and move her around without any problem.

Wow! These chicks are restless! They've fallen out of the nest several times. I don't know if the last egg will have a chance to hatch before Lavender decides to leave the nest or if there's anything even inside How long should I wait before taking the egg from her? Today is day 20.

There are 4 babies now. One egg hasn't done anything since last night. I thought it had pipped, but I was wrong. Hope it hatches! It's egg #4. Aren't they cute! Two chicks (a black and a white) fell out of the nest this morning. Good thing the nest is only 3 inches tall and soft!

We Have a BABY!!!! Lucky #3!!!!

All 5 eggs are pipped! Egg #1 had a tiny hole now and I can see a little itty bitty beak. One other egg has a hole too and I can see a little beak and some wet feathers. They both look kind of blue!

I'm going crazy here at work! Waiting to go home and see if any hatched!!!!

Yay! I have 2 pips in the eggs under my broody hen and lots of peeping! Of course, it's the one day this week I have to work Hopefully, when I get home from work tonight there will be a fuzzy butt in the nest!
