What is she? Haha. Still trying to figure this out.

Yep, 5 toes, black skin...that's a silkie! I got six that look just like it this weekend.

Mostly a pet bird, or used for brooding chicks since they're excellent mamas. Might get picked on in a mixed flock thanks to fluffy feathers and obscured vision.

Last night I was checking eggs under my broody. They are due to hatch tomorrow. I found one had been crushed and much of the shell had been removed. I wasnt sure if it was alive but it was though far from ready to hatch. I am just finishing up a quail hatch so the incubator was ready to go. I removed the membrane so it would not dry on the chick but left most it on the bottom half so as to hopefully allow the baby to absorb its yolk sac. Here it is resting and still living this morning in the incubator. It opened its eyes a few times and chirped at me when I shined the flash light on it. I hope it makes it and if it does this is a pretty amazing rescue.


Its pretty dark but if you look closely you can make out its eye and beak.

Any idea what breed she's going to be?

Sussex, maybe? I'm really not sure

Her cheeks are not puffy so maybe a welsummer.

Somebody please tell me she is a light brahma.
