Lol and everything in between! I know the man and his family that run the auction. Did you know on Friday nights they have an auction for everything else (not animal)?

I can't find the picture, but someone sent us one that showed a 'mini'...

One of our babies seems to be favoring a foot like it's hurt...

Seemed fine first thing this morning, then he was peeping quite a bit and I went to look and he was favoring a foot(keeping it up and pecking at it, sort of)...When he stood he would hold it up, but then he would scadaddle across the cage...I hope it's temporary...

More pics:

I like this one shot in Monochrome since they're black:

Mini silkies?? Silkies are bantams, so they are smaller than a larger sized chicken, but I don't think there's such a thing as a, "mini silkie." And some are smaller than others. I have a 3 year old silkie hen who looks the size of a pullet.

As fas as your injured chick, check her foot and make sure there's nothing sticking her. She could have just hurt it a little--just allow her plenty of rest, food, and water. Keep an eye on here and make sure she can get to food and water okay. I like to make a wet mash for injured chicks--which is just wet feed. They can peck at it more easily. But make sure to change it daily, so it doesn't spoil. Keep us posted...
