Featherless silkie chick

[sheila22]

I've already posted this on the new member forum but thought I'd try here as well. I had a silkie chick hatch without any feathers today. So far she seems healthy and is being kept warm by her mom. Anyone else have this experience? Words of wisdom? Anything helpful.......

Do you mean no fluff? Totally bald?

 

[sheila22]

Yup! Bald as can be. I should add that we've had silkies for 2 years, and we've had 14 perfectly normal silkie chicks hatch over the past few weeks

Will mom let you take a picture?

I'll try getting a photo tomorrow and see if I can figure out how to post it (I'm pretty good with chickens but not so much with computers

)
