Just adding a few more pics (love to take photos!)
The went outside this morning; eating, drinking and pooping well; I feel like a proud parent!
I am never cease to be amazed by how independant chicks can be. Only a couple of days and they are already sunbathing and ignorning their mother!
I'm sure they are even cuter today, I hadn't noticed how fluffy their feet were yesterday; just like their mother. Although currently asking around all my friends, family and neighbours to see if anyone is wanting chickens because as lovely as these little ones are, our garden is just not big enough
This is the mother; she is pretty tiny, but this photo makes her look quite large
She didn't mind me handling the chicks, but she didn't want to be taken away from them.
They were all moving to fast and running around so the only photos in focus were when they were sleepy

You must be so excited; I am planning to get a couple silkie's later in the year. I remember when we were waiting for our last clutch to hatch, it was the longest 3 weeks in my life!
