Well, I suck at incubating, but I did get a few babies. These pics could be better, hard to take pics in the box they are in temp. Will try to get better ones tomorrow. Here are my 3 silkies and 5 andalusions: Buff Silkie from Jaynie: Splash silkie from Bamachicken: Black/blue silkie from Bamachicken: And the andalusions (3 light ones and 2 darker ones): Thanks for looking, Marie
My first batch scrambled in transit. My second batch, out of 19, hatched 1 that turned out to be blind and died after a couple of days. With that said, you don't suck, I do! LOL Cute silkies! Lov Liv
Well, the little buff one did not make it. It died overnight. I tried staying up with it and giving it water with electrolytes and vitamins but it was gone this morning. The other two silkies and one of the andalusions have some problems with their legs. Not completely splayed but having some trouble keeping the legs undern them. I put the shelf liner in there and it helps some. I am going to put bandaids on tonight if they are not much improved. Anyway, thanks everyone, they are just the cutest. Marie
Thanks. I appreciate that. It happens and it is easier now than when I first started, but I still hate it. Especially when they have such a nice vault and feathers on every toe. Would have been a nice one in that regard. The rest are doig well. The spraddle legged andalusion is not improving and I am beginning to think it is not spraddle leg but a knee problem. Looks like one is much larger than the other and he/she is just holding one foot sort of out to the side and hobbling on the other. I may have to put it down if it does not improve soon. Any ideas would be appreciated. I did put a bandaid on like for spraddle leg but it does not appear to help much. Anyway, thanks again. Marie
