yes I do have silkies. right now I have a few whites with some pretty good looking top knots.
the quail is doing great
he had a couple days hiding from the girls. a couple days ago he started to do his calls and has come out of hiding.
Oh you still have some left..... You know, idk if our silkie eggs are developing so the fact that you have chickies already sitting there, waiting to be taken home is really quite tempting..... But I can't!
That's great! Are they giving him a hard time at all? He needs a little excitement in his life so if they are, good for him!
I hope you have great luck with your eggs. I came home to a FANTASTIC hatch. just finished taking them out of the bator. 33 out of 44 so far. a few more are pipped. the first one hatched thursday night so I really had to get them out. there are plenty of silkies and showgirls. I have 20 to 25 silkie hens so I hatch alot of silkies when they are not sitting on eggs. most of them stay at my house till they get really pretty and fluffy. it's like having a whole bunch of feather dusters running around.
the quail are getting along just fine now. he is less agressive than my last male. one of the girls bosses him around. I think he has figured out that she is in charge. sort of like he figured out how to say "yes dear, whatever you want dear".
