It died

. I went to check on it and it didn't move, so I touch it, nothing. I wanted to check it - it's head looked misshapen, like it was squished against the side too long

kind of lopsided, eye looked to be at the same level as corner of the mouth. Probably best. I will take more pics tomorrow, when they are done fluffing out, this time with MY camera

Final tally
8 frizzles
1 Ameraucana
8 silkies (4-chellester 4-newchickenmom)
newchickenmom- does the grey look similar in marking to the partridge, just not brown?

lost- 1 frizzle and 5 silkies

thanks for following

Oh I'm sorry! You gave it the best shot, but it sounds like it had something going on.

Great job with the others! Congrats!

Okay now what is your final count? HOW MANY CHICKENS DO YOU HAVE NOW?

You had none in like April, right?

 

[klf73]

Hmmm, nope none WAY back then
we have
9 mutts (australorpxblue andalusian?)2 months
11 silkies (3 teens-8 new)
11 Ameraucana (1 new-10 3 weekers)
8 frizzles (new)

a bator with Araucana & silkies
more Ameraucana eggs in the mail (3 doz)
BC Marans coming in 3 weeks(+/-)

Dh wants to know where the partridge in a pear tree is - I told him "give me time, I can find anything

"

Now, where did I put my sanity???

yes, they greys tend to look like a silver partridge as chicks and then feather out grey. i'm so glad all 4 hatched for you!! enjoy them!
