I hope to have better luck. I got the silkie eggs from a broody line.

at the moment I have 3 broody hens and no room for more chickens. I think 2 of them are giving up but my araucana girl that hatched silkies insist on sitting again. it is too hot so I really don't know what to do with her.

Put them in a cage and break them up if you dont want more chicks. Im constantly having to break mine up it seems like. Lol

They are fantastic!! Very nice pullets for sure! I bet they'll produce some amazing offspring.

Thank you! I've just been super busy with my summer class, work, chickens, and getting everything ready for my son to start Kindergarten. I could never leave our group. Im looking forward to the fall when everything hopefully settles down a little.

Boy o boy do i hear that, life is hectic. Im so ready for fall also, i am done with this summer heat. My poor birds are done with it too.

Thank you, I'm supper happy with them. I hoping they will mature and still look just as good. Fingers crossed, they are only 5 months old.

Im done with the heat also! Im also sick of hatching.. I need a break for a few months. I had a horrible nightmare last night.. I dreamed that my best hen had yellow legs! You know you are really a chicken nut when the chickens are even in your dreams! Lol
