New from NJ. Just hatched first silkie eggs! :)

[N F C]

Thank you so much!! This is a great place because I was thinking the WORST and people helped me realize that the chick was just cold lol. Vaulted skull seems to be just fine.

Good news!

Vaulted skulls tend to have soft spots, where the skull didn't close over entirely. This makes it very prone to head injuries by other birds pecking or bumping into things

Please post on the "Silkie thread," and ask breeders/experts about it.
