And here are some updated photos of our Silkie chicks who are a week old now. I've been feeding them fermented chick starter as they weren't really eating it all that well as solid crumbles. It means their feathers get a bit messy and I have to give them fresh stuff many times a day but they seem to love it. The chick starter is a different brand to the one we usually use but the unmedicated stuff I like requires a trip across Auckland to go and buy it and we have all been very unwell with an awful cold/cough.
6 week olds. We moved their cage onto the floor so it's a bit trickier to take photos of them. I started to worry that three of them were boys as I saw them get on their mothers back and act like they were mating. Two only did it once but Rainbow does it often which, again, makes me think it's a boy.
