This is what I did on last night. I couldn't find the clear first aid tape, so I had to get white. He looks so funny walking around with that big ole' shoe.

That'll work! You did a good job on him!

Yea, no kidding! I offered her some Sizzles and she turned me down!! I don't know what's going on here.

Well guys, here is a pic of my first time hatching eggs from my 2 Sizzle pens. I originally set 15 eggs, all 15 developed and made it to Lock-down and out of the 15 eggs, 14 hatched.
Pen 1 is a dark buff Silkie roo over a buff Sizzle hen and 2 partridge Sizzle hens.
Pen 2 is a blue/black splashed Silkie roo over 2 black Sizzle hens.
What colors are you all seeing here?



I have about 30 more eggs that I'm waiting on. 15 more go into lock-down on Sunday and another 15 or so about 7 days later. I have 15 that I collected that I will be setting tomorrow night as well. Just for fun I switched the 2 roos around and I'm going to wait a couple weeks and start collecting eggs again just to see what colors I get with that combination.
Anyone interested in some Sizzles? LOL!!!! Half of these will feather out like a Silkie and half should feather out like this hen...


With all these chicks that I'm hatching out and also with any luck I’ll hopefully be able to get me a few more hens of different colors to use as breeders for next year!!!

Hey there Chris I like your experiment. I had 3 NHs hatch out of those eggs you sent me not too good of % but oh well it could have been worse still yet.

On the Sizzels I think you will get half sizzles and half normal feathering once you cross in normal feathering with silkie the normal feathering is dominnant and will take the silkie feathering out of the equasion so to say now there may be one crop out in great numbers hatched but silkie on silkie is the way to get silkie feathering.

Silkie roo over Sizzle hen= 50/50 feathering

Silkie feathered Sizzle roo over Sizzle hen = 75/25 sizzle feathered.

By using the Silkie Roos it will help with type. I will work on getting the 75/25 after I grow these chicks out.

Ok moved two pea eggs into the hatcher this morning! These are from my peacocks - my very first ones - candling showed dark blobs inside but I couldn't tell if any movement or not & didnt' want to leave them outside too long so will hope for the best.

I can't believe none of ya'll want any guinea keets! they are the cutest things! C'mon I have 10 of them looking for a good home -- don't you want some natural pest control?

Walked into my utility room at 4 a.m. because I heard my one peachick hollering - the little brat was perched on top of the brooder box! Time to get a lid or move them to the bigger, enclosed outside brooder!
