Very cute, I never had a Silver Spangled Hamburg. How many chicks did you get?
Those are some beautiful eggs. Love the speckled one too!
Poor Amber, glad to hear that she eats and drinks and still has the red comb.Beautiful eggs!
Amber is doing the same. We got home this afternoon and picked her up from our friends house and brought her home. We cleaned her again and put more ointment on her. Her comb is still dark red and she is eating and drinking. She only flinches when you touch her bottom. I think her vent got ripped from her tailbone but it's hard to tell. The vent itself is still intact and she's pooping ok so we haven't done anything with it. Hopefully it doesn't impact her if it heals that way. At worst she'll just get a little pasty butt if it doesn't point out enough. I trimmed all the feathers under her vent so her poop will stop sticking to it. If we can keep infection at bay I think she'll make it.
Glad to hear Amber is hanging in there. I'm sure you were glad to be home to help her. Even though you had great help, as a 'mom' (even to chickens) we want to be there to do everything we can.Beautiful eggs!

I don't know why I didn't really look to put this on my list of 'wants' but they sure are pretty all grown up! I hope you post pics as they grow!!
