I am thinking of selling my Silkied Roo (I think its a roo), He was born last winter out of GoaskAlice's B line and is Splash colored. I also have blue and splash silkied juveniles. Is there anyone in the Northwest looking for stock? He seems pretty healthy, he's currently running with my...

I have some extra chicks available to a project member in the Northwest. They are blue and splash smooth feathered but silkie feather gene carrying chicks. I hatched from Catkai and Nicole a week apart. They are $5 each and are straight-run. I am near Portland, Oregon. Erica

Hatch update: 9 have hatched on their own. Three more that had partially zipped and then seemed glued in were just assisted out and are trying to recover in the incubator. I may candle the rest of the eggs later today and see if there is any movement.

I'm anxiously waiting for a pip. 17 eggs in lockdown. My splash silkied from last month is starting to look really pretty.

These are darling! My eggs from Catkai go into lockdown tomorrow. You've made me even more excited!

I just candled the 20 eggs from Katcai and the 6 from my lavender ameraucanas: All but 2 of the silkie feathered and 1 of the lavenders are showing veins! Wow, that's kind of hard on the eyes. Oh well! I'm HAPPY!

I set a very generous dozen eggs from CatKai today (20!) along with 5 eggs from my Lavender Ameraucanas that just started laying. (I'm going to have to hand turn some of them until Thursday which is when I can move some other eggs to the hatcher). I've got another dozen coming in a week or...

OH! I took some clears out of my incubator today so I have a little unexpected room! Are they still available?

I lost my blue silkied. I'm so sad! I still have the splash but will be getting more eggs in a couple weeks to try again.

Okay, I feel confident announcing this now: both of mine are fluffies/silkied! One blue and one splash

It will be the feathers on the wings that will tell you. I don't know if you can tell for sure at hatching. You should know by a week old though. Mine were born sat/sun and haven't grown hard feathers on their wings yet but I'm giving it till Sunday before I start to celebrate. :)

Welcome! I will be at the swap and bringing some interesting chickens, but not these. I just started my project and my breeding stock are still chicks. I will be breeding towards the standard but my main goal is to dilute this bloodline. The breed is currently inbred and I suspect this has...

Congrats! Whose eggs are you hatching?

It's okay. I got two and so far they are looking silkied. As long as they live, that's all I need.

I just did my eggtopsies. 6 never developed. 1 pipped externally and died. 3 never pipped internally. (and 2 hatched and still no signs of hard feathers)

That's great! I have boy-girl twins. They are just starting to let me have several hours of consequtive sleep.

Quote: Wow! He's gorgeous. Definetely yes on the swap. Its really great that we will probably have lavender split F1's at the same time! Erica

Here is my new "Pips n Peeps" Rooster. I got him and 2 pretty Blehm/Shaffer hens today. I also ordered a new candler that is supposed to be able to see through dark eggs, no more blind hatches for me! I was just out staring at wings in the brooder. I've got the Ameracauna chicks in with 5...

I am so sorry to hear this!

I'm going to leave my eggs in a a day or two more but am thinking all I'm going to get out of this hatch is the blue and a splash that hatched this morning. I am thinking I better hatch another dozen eggs as some insurance. If anyone reads the other thread and wants to team up, I would love...
