Yep, Silkies make wonderful broodies.

Oh wow they are gorgeous.

I would say you have about 5 roosters out of them maybe 6.

I'd say at least 3 to 4 pullets. And the one you took pics of a pullet as well

3 Pullets and 5 cockerels.

Sadly, it ended up being 8 cockerels and 1 pullet.

They are 4 months old now.

I lost 2 of the boys to predators and gave 4 of them away today so I still have 2 boys and the 1 girl.

But yeah, ended up with almost all boys. Only one girl out of the whole hatch.

I WISH it was 3 or 4 pullets lol sadly not. The questionable ones all turned out to be boys.

Oh okay. Not good. Oh well try again. Hatch out like 30 next time. Then maybe get few more pullets. I've got 42 in my 48 egg janoel incubator now all my own australorp cross eggs. 6 days now.

Yeah, I had horrible luck. I was expecting 50% or even 75% boys but not 90%

Definitely plan on trying again though!! My incubator doesn’t hold a ton, only 27 I think, but I am hoping for a broody hen

I kept the Lavender Orpington so I’m hoping he makes some pretty babies.

This hatch was my first hatch ever so I didn’t want to hatch a ton of eggs in case they all died or something but next time I’ll definitely get more eggs.

 

[MysteryChicken]

No problem!!

I can’t wait to see what Jack produces!! Haha
