New Silkie momma

[Sbeasley13]

So I'm a new momma to 18 day old silkie bantams! They are so cute and fluffy!! Ive done a lot of reading and talking with relatives that keep chickens so I think we will do great! Right now they are in an old guinea pig cage, with light, food and water! They seem happy and content!

So cute!! Is the coop ready??
They grow way too fast and will be crowded in a few short weeks...

I have three silkies ,
Love the noises they make ,
Hope you don't have too many roosters,
Mine is 8 months and I still don't know for sure is he's a roo
