Beautiful babies!! How are they looking now?

Thank you 😊 Elvira turned out gorgeous! I’m still 99.9% certain she is a pullet, but so far I have 15 roosters from 20 chicks so knowing my luck she would make a quick turn around and surprise me by being a roo 🤦🏻‍♀️.

The chick that was the same colour as Elvira at hatch is a Silkied version of the same colour (silver partridge I believe?), hoping that one is a pullet too. And the porcelain one looks like it may be a pullet also, but it’s still early. Sadly neither of them are feathering in as well as Elvira has, so I don’t have any recent pictures of them lol.

She is just gorgeous! I recently hatched 4 Silkie eggs from a breeder who said they were from her paint pen but I’m confused as well since one looked pale blue (much lighter than my other older for-sure blue Silkie) & the others newly hatched look white, silver based white & possibly blue partridge. I’m really not sure though until they feather in more. But from a paint pen? Odd to me….here are some pics of mine. The first photos are 24 hours after hatch so they weren’t yet all fluffed up. The last two are of the pale blueish one that is 11 days old & now feathering in a bit darker.
