Lockdown- Silkie Eggs in Genesis 1588

[Lhubbard]

Ok thanks guys! It was either P for Paint or Partridge and I think you are right. They almost look like little chipmunks! No other eggs hatched, I let them all go this morning. We will love these babies so very much! They are doing great. Do you have any tips on making sure they stay healthy? Any extra things you do beyond the basics?

Check them for poopybutts every day. Keep them warm. Have you raised chicks before?

Thank you! One bum has been poop free, the other has been needing daily cleaning! I have not raiser chicks, other birds but first time Chicken Mom here!

I have a heating plate that seems to be working great.

Any other tips?

Other chick tips, they can drown in the water, I put marbles in their water dish.
