More pics of Elvis..... I hope he's bibbed. That would be awesome.

East, would it hurt to give the baby in the bator some PolyViSol? I can still see his yolk sac.

Good night duck

Hope your are feeling better

Sonja, I think Elvis is black bibbed

Very cute

2 more weeks and I will have some of my own little baby calls

They could be white, gray, blue fawn or butter. I could have a mini silver appleyard in there too.

I will take another peek at them tonight to make sure they are all still growing strong.

We had a little barnyard incident last weekend. I had a pitch fork up against the door to on of the coops and it fell over and hit one of the silkie roos in the head. Poor little guy flopped around a little and died

I really need to get rid of them but I didn't want him to go that way

My black bibbed hen is in the middle in this picture:

Sorry JustMe. That is sad. If I weere closer, I'd take your silkies. I hatched some earlier this year and I love them.

Yay Sonja! Beautiful babies!!
Goodnight duck
Justme so sorry to hear of you silkie

East so happy your moms ok!!
My call eggs will be here tomorrow!!! Yay! I think I'm going to call post office in the am and pick them up

is that silly?

I do love mine

I have 5 extra roos though

I keep moving everyone around because whenever the silkies were in the main coop I would lose one of the pullets. I think I finally figured out that one of the silkie cockerals is probably to blame. The boys are free ranging now and one of them has been relentless going after the others, there are feathers every where out there. I stuck just him back in with the geese and the other boys are all being nice to each other now. I am betting that that boy had something to do with the other that died including my beautiful split lav cockeral

The silkie pullets are in with the big girls now and they all seem to be doing just fine. I have my bantam cochin roo in there who is a gentelman and my BC Maran's cockeral who also seems to be a gentleman.

We were sooooo excited today because my silver phoenix hen finally laid an egg

She started laying at 15 weeks and went broody at 23 weeks and hasn't laid since then. She will be 2 in June.

I am a little worried about my call hen. She hasn't laid since I put them back outside and her belly looks swollen. She did finally make a nest today but no egg. If she doesn't lay one tomorrow I'm going to have to do something.
