1st time hatching🤓and it was a success!

[Lilchknmomma]

My golden buff polish rooster(Flaps) is pretty much the man of the yard All my ladies love him and he’s a good one. Very protective over the girls and our coop. Well for about the last month my silkie hen(Suki)went broody so I figured why not try to hatch a few eggs. I placed 2 to start and sadly a week later my Roo got a little excited and crushed 1 so I Replaced that 1 with eggs from my 2 naked necks(Elvira & Ursula)that are laying(1from each hen) I’m happy to say for my 1st time all went well and 21days later my silkie hatched her chick first and a week later the other 2 hatched. She wasn’t as accepting to the later hatched chicks so I separated them from her and her chick. She’s doing great with hers and I’m raising the other 2. I’ve attached pics and I can’t wait to see what they grow to look like.Appearance wise I have 3 completely different looking chicks so this should be interesting if anyone has mixed these breeds before I’d love to see what yours look like

My entire flock is of mixed breeds.
I never know what is going to pop out of an egg. I get all shades. Of green and brown to cream colored eggs.
Sadly I dont have any turkens now, but have had in the past and Loved there disposition and personality. Had a white silky rooster about 8 years ago and now every so often I get a chick with an extra toe.
Your chicks are adorable!

Congratulations on your hatch! Super cute chicks!
I have a Silkie/Polish cross. Apparently they’re known as Polkies!
She is two months old now, photos attached. Dad though is Silkie and mom is Polish in her case.
Her crest is something between the Polish and Silkie crests.

Congratulations on your chicks! They are adorable! I would love to see pictures of mixed breeds also...and of yours as they grow! I put some eggs in the incubator from my mixed-flock.... can't wait to see what I get if anything. Hatch day is around April 27th. I've hatched quail once before, but this is my first time attempting to hatch chicken eggs....fingers crossed.

Update:I think the white one is a cockerel. It just has that kind of personality. The other 2 I’m not 100% sure but the NN might be too. Hopefully not but I didn’t start seeing my other NN pullet traits until they were way older so my fingers are crossed

So my polkie has an extra toe on 1 of its feet I hate to say it but so far it’s my fav

Since you have experience with this mix do you think it’s a pullet or cockerel based on these pics? It is 12 weeks old. My guess is a roo because it shows personality like one but I can’t tell fully

Mine has 5 toes on one foot as well!

Can you get a real good close up of the comb? Push crest back with one hand and have some one help you if needed. I think this may be a pullet at this age. Comb photo will help. Beautiful bird!

Thank you so much. Here are the better ones I was able to take. It literally started raining when I took it out lol

I think may be right about this one being a boy. The comb is dark mulberry already at 12 weeks. You should start seeing male saddle feathers growing out soon at the base of the tail. These will be pointy.
