Hello all! Hope everyone is well!
I promised I was done hatching for the year.. lol nope.
I had a bad hatch of 3 dozen silkies:(
Anyone know where to get some silkie eggs? I’m having a difficult time finding any that aren’t very over priced.
It’s scary when temps sore like that. One of my polish (you their personalities :)) got herself stuck under a tarp, thank goodness I found her. She was in heat distress. So slowly into some water she went. The last two weeks we have been pounded with 8 inches of rain. Oh the challenges we face...
