So I had a good number of eggs in my incubator and I let two hen have some eggs to lay on, Mother Hen had 4 and Gold Hen had 5.
Now I mostly wanted to hatch out my silkie Hen's eggs :3 Her chick will be Half Maran. I only have one rooster and he is a full Maran, he such a doll.
I really want to see what the silkie/Maran chick will look like!! SO far I hatch out 4 of them and they are doing really well along with other chicks, right now I have about 14 Chicks. All the eggs I left with the two hens hatch, sadly two of them die. One egg got lost and one chick got killed : <
But here some photos of the dear hearts :3

Well the 4 half silkie half Marans all are dark skinned and all have 10 toes BUT one has only 9 toes! lol They also have those lovely big sweet silkie eyes <3 There mother is a small Black hen with some gold around her neck. I call her Silkie Mama. haha!
