Living life on the edge (of the incubator) hatch-a-long

[KKicons]

As I'm trying to learn more about genetics for the silkies, I'm listing the color and genotype, if I am wrong PLEASE let me know!

Purebred silkies:
Mixed pen of colors, Chocolate pullet, a partridge, and a splash with no splashes; cockerels are various blue, black, diluted partridge, silkie, satin, and frizzle (it was not supposed to be like this, but here we are...)
1 dozen where laid in very cold weather, we will find a group name for them and please everyone cheer for these eggies! If they start developing I will add them individually to the list below to be named and specially cheered

Update: this will be all the eggs unless there is room and I can sneak a few more from Fizz Bang or Chonkers in there once I check for development the first weekend of February I'll add any of the eggs laid during our cold snap to the list.

How about The Edge hatch. Like the song.

@KKicons it's not letting me reply to your post, but yes, you can start your own hatch-a-long! There is a great pinned post in the Hatch-a-long forum that will answer all your questions! We love hatch-a-longs!

You better hear when I am hollering for you to come get all your cockerels

I got 4(?) I need to get rid of here. Then gimme a few silkie boos. I really do wanna breed Atropos with a silkie since they have silkie genes.

We really do. Do you know how many babies we have or will have? Good thing chicken child support isn't real.

I will likely have eggs this fall... there should be black, blue, and splash

Atropos is a pullet (if I am not wrong?) So I will have to borrow a silkie male. Maybe Chonkers would like her? I am obsessed with his size and floof. Not that your other babies aren't gorgeous too!

Sure! Come on by and pick him up! You'll need to return him, but I'll throw in a few other cockerels you can keep

You sure you don't want to babysit Atropos?

 

[Antiocheggers]

No, go for it.

I agree No guts No glory!

Ooh, you can borrow Chonkers, but I'll send Norman along too, you can keep him. He's a doll, he makes these noises that sound just like a penguin he's a super floofy black silkie boy, he does have one ffoot ith 4 toes and 1 with 5 toes, but crossed with a 5 and 5 pullet the chicks will more than likely all be perfect.
