I had put some eggs in the incubator and also added eggs from a momma hen that accidentally got them pushed out! Not all of hers have hatched yet as they were in different stages. It was a guessing game on if it’s silkie or Phoenix eggs and now it’s looking that it might be both and a mix of them?
This one hatched 7/28
At first looked very much silkie aside from having very small leg feathers and only one foot having 5 toes. Now it’s growing feathers and definitely not full silkie!
Born 8/3
Looks silkie however only 5 toes on one foot and if I’m guessing the mom correctly she LOVES my Phoenix rooster so I’m still waiting on feathers from this one to see. I know silkie aren’t always bred the best and I have several that don’t meet the standards (this one’s mom is a very badly bred silkie) I keep them cause they do have silkie traits I love that would better my Blue silkie rooster!
Born 8/4
More than likely a full Phoenix my rooster doesn’t share his hens however I have seen my satin silkie sneak a hen or two.
Born 8/4
This one was a shock to see and I also so upset with myself over as I took the two out after both were dried and later saw this one in the incubator! I got lucky that it hatched!! Looks like a full silkie 5 toes on each foot and feathered legs! I will get pictures of this one soon it’s head still isn’t fluffy like it’s body yet.
Here are the possible fathers
Chocolate Mottled Satin Silkie
Black Breasted Red Phoenix
My sweet Blue Silkie also ignore him not being so pretty this is an old picture of him still growing feathers and it had been raining
Any guesses on who y’all think the dads are?
