This is Caty, a Silkie and her Silkie chick (on her back). Another hen hatched the other chicks who are Silkie Eggers, but she demanded out a week later, so Caty took them in. Sadly the Silkie chick suddenly passed at 32 days old and Caty followed, also passing week later with no explanation. The other chicks are doing well.

Taken 6/30/24, 5 month old Cassidy with 4 week old store bought chicks. Cassidy was injured by an overzealous large rooster at 4 months old. The white chick (Star) near her head has never left her, she's still with momma over a year later. The young rooster in the back was named Dodge, he died protecting some ladies from a hawk. The other 2 are in my big coop.
