The tiniest gap for the chicks to peek through...and they keep shoving out anything I use to block it!

Almost half way there!

Here is a video of day 16 Fluffy egg (Bert) I took last Nov when Henny hatched chicks, to give you some idea of what you will see

And day 15 for Curly’s egg (Betty)

Look what we have here.
My aunt sent me pictures this morning of the chicks she hatched. The Black one is technically a Olive Egger being a cross between Bubba x Owly. The white and spotted ones are Branch x the leghorn girls. If I had known that cross would have produced those chicks, I would have done it myself.

Nice and neat for the ladies. Artistically messy for the gentlemen.

I am not sure, they did not post a age in the add. I think it looks a couple weeks older then my chicks who are 4 weeks old. I can tell from the picture there is enough of a size difference that I would not feel comfortable housing it with my chicks. The silkies are just too little right now. Thanks to the reference pictures you posted I am not as worried about Adele. Her pompom is nice and rounded, not wild and crazy. That said, she is only 4 weeks and I do not know if being a mix she will hold true to that.

Here are some references

Butterscotch or maybe Muffy

Eli-too

Floyd (aka Martina-Martin)

Little Pecker Cockerel remember he was the one who crowed at 3 weeks of age !!!

Little Grey pullet

Not sure who this is - but think Eli-too
