Silkymom, I put the chicks in a little light tent to take those photos. They only put up with it for a little while, but they stand still at first I think because they are just confused enough that they can't choose which way to run, lol. So if I act fast, I can get a good photo.

What a good idea, what do you use to make it? Because yours look like professional pics!

Hi Silkymom, I'm doing the Easter hatch. I'm so excited too!!!

Remember, I was thinking about getting Silkie eggs from the breeder with SQ chicks? Well, I ended up getting 24 BBS Silkie eggs from the lady!!!!!

They are in the incubator. Here is a picture of some of Sheri's silkies from one of her coops...They are really cute and these aren't even the SQ breeder pens:

I put in 26 eggs in the incubator Saturday. There are 12 Cj's silkies eggs,7 Ameraucanas , and 7 of my own eggs(2 mixed breed eggs and 5 paint silkie eggs).I also have a broody silkie hen who has 2 eggs under her. One mixed breed egg and her own purebred silkie egg. Both of her eggs are developing so far.

Thank you, Silkymom!
The question will be..."How will I decide WHAT is SQ and NOT SQ???" And then, What do I do with the "NOT SQ"? How will I be able to get rid of the "NOT SQ" chicks....they are all so cute!
