I can't stop looking at these beautiful Silkie chicks! The only problem I've got now is choosing which ones I want to keep!!
Trio of Buff Silkies hatched from KellyHM eggs.
The following pics are from marie_martin eggs. I've got to say that hatching BBS Silkies is like Christmas morning! You don't know what's going to pop out!
The Blacks
The Blue, Splash, and ???. Could someone verify the first two on the left and let me know what category that 3rd one falls in? It appears to be a Black but has white on it's wing tips, legs, and head. The photo doesn't show too much of the white. Thanks!
All were incubated in a Little Giant still air and then transferred into my homemade bator/hatcher which I did have a fan installed. Temp stayed at 99.5 and humidity was kept at 70%. They were incubated "dry" at about 40% humidity but I slowly increased the humidity each week as hatch day approached.
