The red head is LO/BO. That is what they always look like.

My chicks are in an outdoor pen with heat lamp. My Blob hen is roosting again. She still acts like she is broody, I have one black Mosaic hen, (She looks 100% AC but a green egg.) she is now walking around like she has invisible babies, and my blue copper maran hen is also acting broody.

And here are the babies!

14 hatched, one died in nest
11 eggs were left, with one external pip and a couple of internals, so those went to my broody Buff duck. The rest are in the incubator...

My second Silkie egg quit during lockdown so it was a good thing we got the other two to keep the lonely one company. I'll probably try again with some local eggs
