our newest hatchling came out for a visit from the brooder today, with the silkie that's adopted him/her

Cute, love her facial expression.

I had a broody hen that had been sitting on Infertile eggs for about 5 weeks. I gave her 5 of the babies I had just hatched inside. 1 got squished in the first week. Ended up with 1 silkie and 3 EEs. She did great with them for the first month. They are all getting big, but the silkie never really kept up with the others. These babies squeeze out of the run and wander the entire yard. As we are working, they walk under our feet. The silkie was the only one that didn't wander - it stayed near mom.. But the silkie is the one that disappeared a few days ago. We think the hawk that lives in our yard took it.

Ok, so genetics...we had a white EE roo, and brown EE hens. When these parents were babies, the roo was brown, but he got whiter as he got older. Their babies are white from the first permanent feathers. 1 of the 3 is twice the size of the other 2. So, I think I have 1 boy and 2 girls. Why didn't I get any brown EE chicks? The EE hens were from a different breeder than the roo.

Sorry about the silky.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I candled the big eggs before I threw them out, there were empty. No signs of a developed chick at all.
So...I don't feel bad there. But this little tiny egg, was so promising at lock down.
