Free silkie hatching eggs! Winner's Announced

[mom2chicksandpups]

I would LOVE

to have them! I have just recently bought my first incubator and would love to have some Silkie chicks. I spent a bunch of money on some Silkie chicks from a hatchery recently and they were sick when they arrived here. I tried to nurse them back to health, but was only able to save 3 of the 10 Silkie chicks. My daughter and I both cried over the dying chicks.

I think Silkies are beautiful and would love to have more, especially some different colors. I currently have 2 buff Silkie chicks and 1 that I believe is a Partridge chick (they are only a couple of weeks old.) The ones that are still living appear to be healthy.

I would also love to have these so my 9-year-old daughter can help and watch them hatch. She recently saw her cat give birth (which is something I didn't plan for her to see) and she is obsessed with learning more about how different types of babies are born. Her birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I would love to be able to give her some hatching eggs of her own (which I will help her with, of course.)

I promise the chicks will be loved and taken care of. We do not eat our chickens, but raise them for pets only. My chicks all get lots of love and attention.

Ok, my story isn't really all that tragic (rookie mistakes), so I don't feel all that worthy anymore. (Though I do appreciate greenie's vote of confidence *smooche*.)

I'd LOVE Silkies! Especially because all our other birds were chosen for utilitarian reasons (meat/eggs) and I doubt I'll be able to con my husband into some "because they are beautiful, cute, and great little mamas and most of all because I love the way they look" after the rest of our 'more useful' chicks arrive.

I'm sure there are many more worthy than me, though. I didn't read the replies b/c I knew if I did I wouldn't post.

I would love some more hatching eggs from Jen. I saved my money up from my birthday to get eggs from her. I got 7 eggs and I managed to hatch one chick even when the PO scrambled most of them. Lola needs some friends.

I also just started showing my silkies for 4-H and some more of the quality stock that Jen has would greatly improve my lines. I volunteer at a nursing home and the residents love the feel of silkies because they re so fuzzy and calm. Thankyou for considering me, this a wonderful oportunity for the lucky winner.

Well that's not exactly what I meant. I meant that, now even I think there are definitely more deserving entries than mine!

That is SUPER SWEET of you!!!

I'm about to start selling some eggs here shortly to help raise money for me so I can buy some of her birds off of Eggbid!!! So I need $275 with a quickness.

Her birds are gorgeous, and I really want her to get her home too... I was in the same position last year, exactly 1 year ago actually, I needed to get the $10,000 for the closing on our house. Thank goodness for craigslist... family.... neighbors... yard sales....

I hope she doesn't have to lose most of her flock!

You are doing a wonderful thing!!!!!

Me and patyrdz would love these eggs! She's the incubator I'm the suffering addict LOL. They could get mom hooked into chicks again. I had 2 silkies, but patty stole them (jk) but would love to own some more. Her birds are PERTY!
