I had to padlock the hutch she's in so Jen or Livy don't come steal her during the night

Awe, they are so cute.
I have 7 eggs going into lockdown tomorrow night from Janet. I just candled and they still look good.

Me too. So much easier. I had my first 3 broody silkies a couple of months ago all sitting on the same nest. They raised 4 chicks between them. I think they are stronger when mama raises them.

these are my other birds
Smoke is a sweet little girl
Wednesday broke his leg when a baby so he limps but he is a nice boy...
Maddy was the youngest

They look happy and healthy.

I really had to restrain from taking one of your two roos that you had at the swap but I already have a black and a white one.

Don't forget you need to dust them in a well ventilated area, breathing in too much of the dust can kill a young chick just as easily as the mites can.

Thanks for the info
