I know 5!!!! I can't believe they all hatched! I only had 8 to start with. They are silkies!! So excited. I went to check on them and Mama had poo'd so I had to clean it and she pecked at me. She hasn't pecked at me since I first put the eggs under her. She must LOVVEEE them! LOL

When the chicks hatch, do you feed them Medicated Chick-Starter or the Layer Mash that the hen is on?
