We had a Silky hen who started being broody. We have our silkies in a different pen from the others so we just let her accumulate eggs till she had 6 then 1 week before they where to hatch we moved her to a broody pen. We always take the chicks when they hatch and brood them ourselves.
Last Monday I checked and found 3 chicks. 2 white and one ? Partridge? Guessing.I know they are all silkies they have blue beaks, blue legs 5 toes etc. The next day two more white silkies. Then on Friday the last egg hatched. (100% hatch by the way!!! YAHH!!!!
) A beautiful chick 5 toes feathered legs a little creast, but he has orange legs and beak. As you can see I don't know what color he is either.
So tell me what color are the two "Not White" silkies??and is the littlest one even a silkie?? He is smaller because he is almost a week younger then the others.
We have 4 white hens, 1 partridge hen, 1 black hen and two roosters 1 white and 1 Red.
Sorry For the Novel!!!
by the way not the black one thats a BR/EE cross and the Big white one is a large breed cross.
