Of mine that hatched, all of Nemi's survived (all that were fertile after day 7 went on to hatch) and are thriving today. Of the silkies eggs sent, I only have 2 left. I lost one more yesterday and it's in a baggy outside waiting to be buried. I'm excited that you had such a great hatch rate with the eggs I gave you considering I didn't have longer to get a pretty clutch together. I hope you get some silkies...i absolutely adore my silkies. I know they aren't much of a chicken but I do get so much joy out of them and my two remaining polish chicks.
Can you see the chick in the first pic? Nice camoflage...
Add: I got a closer look at the second chick. They are both clean legged, so both from Coloradogal eggs.
Add#2: Chick number 3 is here, also clean legged. So only Silkie babies left to hatch. Ironic since everyone said Silkies were notorious for hatching early and here my LF eggs all hatch and are mostly dry before the first Silkie is out of its shell! Hope I see one soon, I am starting to worry.
Ok, the little bugs go into hiding whenever I go out to look at them but I finally got a decent pic of a dried chick! Still havent seen the Silkie chick this morning but when I went out (without the camera, of course) I had all LF chicks in view. Two poking their heads out from under momma's feathers and one on her back. They all look the same and seem to take after their dad.
