Oh justme that's fine I kinda forgot about them lol yay! Oh boy you maran is gorgeous! So is your silkie roo! How old do you think my silkies look? I know they are bantam birds. I know nothing about silkies but a pair for 20 wasn't bad. I wanted the pair off seramas he had more but they were 45 a pair...

Yours look pretty young to me Ady, probably under 6 months. Over time the sun will cause the feathers to white yellow and yours look nice and bright white. They look like they have some filling out to do yet. The silkie roo in my picture is just under 7 months old.

Oh ok good I was hoping they were at least around 4months or older. How do you tell the roo is younger? Sorry so many questions

 

[justmeandtheflock]

I'm just guessing because your birds are so nice and white. I am by no stretch of the imagination an expert, lol

Your Marans boy is really pretty, justme.

I lost another duckling-it didn't look good and it wasn't even trying to kick out of the shell. Still have 6 plus that adorable Rouen that is just watching and taking everything in and...our first egg from OUR ducks is pipping ALL BY ITSELF!!!!!!!! Gee, I sure hope it does a bit for itself-this is rough stuff.
Guessing at colors right now, but it looks like 2 Black Bibs, 2 Whites and 2 ?????.
They're so adorable and helpless I just want to finish helping them, but they have to finish absorbing the yolk.

Ady, when will we get to see pics of the Silkies you got?

Poor little duckling easttx

Hopefully the rest will make it, maybe shipping is just too rough on these guys? I have one of my own in the bator with the shipped ones (it was Tiny's 1st egg) and the air cell on that one looks perfect where the other ones are all over the place

Thank fo rthe compliment on my Maran's boy

I'm sorry, ady, I saw the picture last night and totally forgot...I have CRS I believe.

They are adorable.

I like the White Silkies. White birds are so pretty, but always manage to make a mess of themselves.
