MY silkie story. ~****PIC HEAVY****~

[iluvsedward]

I set my silkie hen's egg in the incubator and I am waiting to see if it is fertile. I am also waiting on some quail but its my first time hatching them so I don't know what to expect and I am very anxious...

Yeah. lol sometimes I give them frogs for a treat. but only the small ones.. I thought I had got lucky and had got two very sweet chicks, but, after getting my other one and seeing other peoples posts i now realize that the entire breed is mostly sweet and calm!

Oh my gosh, they are all like that. I like to carry mine around with me and they love it. If you can handle the broody that is!

They are CRAZY good mothers too!I showed her to my ducklings and they got along fine, same with my quail chicks!

 

[KrazyKhick]

That's awesome! I'm hoping to have that reaction this spring with the babies I'll be getting. I can't keep a rooster and I can't find hatching eggs to set under them. So...right now Lucy is sitting on an empty nest again. I'm buying chicks and hopefully when I put them outside the silkies will do well with them.

The rooster got killed by something awhile ago and so did the hen But recently I got a cuckoo and a paint silkie and they are very sweet! they are still in the brooder in my room. The egg I set from the hen hatched but died from choking on food one day

but I have moved on.

Good you go! Its always hard but at least you got pst it.
