I have a few pictures to post, hope no one minds. There are three Silkies and a Mayahn we call Opus, all hatched between late October and late November.

The Silkies are sired by a Catdance male (out of a lavender hen sired by a black split to lav cock) and the mother(s) are either a splash or buff with dark head hen from Shyscreations.

Hatched 12/6/13 pretty sure EExMarans







Hatched 11/13/13



Ugh they got out of order - this one hatched 11/24/13

I actually had to trim the feathers away from and below the eyes of the one hatched 11/24, we stood and watched it stand over the food cocking its head one way and then the next but not eating, and I figured it couldn't see the food, so trimmed feathers away from eyes and it started eating!

I would be so worried they would not be able to find the food and water, or the perch at night! They sure are cute though!

The wind is just awful here this morning, is it blowing elsewhere?

 

[suncatcher]

Blowing here too, gusts are incredible, but the up side........ is it is a VERY warm wind!!

The upside is it eats up the mud. I could bearly walk outside yesterday.

Not too bad up here this am (50mph). I slept through the worst of it last night. (80mph) . Warm and melty and there is a lot of snow to melt! Snow plows just cruised though the hood, clearing the drifts once again. Hot coffee and life is good!

 

[suncatcher]

LOL, Hope it eats up our snow here!!

The black juvenile Mayahn I posted pictures of yesterday will need a new home, it is male I am almost certain, and I don't have a good place to put him here right now. He is posted to Craigslist for $5 but I will gladly give him to anyone here for free. He is very sweet tempered, housed with Silkies right now with no issues.
