Here are my chicks (at the mo.. today is day 21 and theres another 11 eggs in the incubator) and I'm having a bit of confusion over what color I've hatched!
These came out of eggs sold as Silkies (Bantams) and I have no reason to suspect they aren't. They have black skin and 5 toes and look like all the other silkie chicks on google, but their colors aren't what I expected? I expected to have white, black and partridge silkie chicks.
