Hello to everyone, I’m just wondering if the eggs that just hatched are silkie chicks 🐣? A local farmer gave them to me and they have just hatched .

I’m new to this any tips are welcome. I would like them to be friendly with my children? Any scraps they quite like to eat? Also I’m wondering what colour the might be they seem the same speckled colour . Many thanks

Not silkies. Wrong skin colour @TheOddOneOut @EmmaRainboe @Overo Mare

First, Welcome! So glad you're here!

Sorry, they're not silkies. They look like mixes. But, if you ever get silkies, yes, they are wonderful chickens, and do great with kids.

Thanks for the reply’s. ok, it’s a bit of a disappointment. I’m sure the kids will love them regardless and hopefully they’re a few cute ones
