Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

[kabhyper1]

Just stumbled across this thread! Partis are probably my favorite color of silkies. Here are some of mine.
Hens/pullets

Roos

The last two roos, I've kept simply because I love their colors.

Hi Brad! Hey I think that last hen/ pullet may be a cockerel. But he looks nice!

Hey! I believe the last two pictures are of the same hen. I'll go out and double check tomorrow. I think she is one of my older hens around 2 yrs old.
Edit: Yup same chicken. The piece of bedding hanging off her right side (our left when looking at pics) gives it away.

Well she is probably a girl then if she is 2 years old. I was going by the stance in the second pic of her, the comb, and the shiny hackle feathers.

Welcome to mother hood to my partridge silkie although he has no brothers or sisters. I had four fertile eggs, I left one with its mother and the other 3 in the incubator. The incubator eggs have not hatched and i followed all the guidelines. I guess nothing beats a broody hen. I have the incubator inside but one day it was 45 degrees C, when i got home from work the incubator and beeping and temp was around 40.5 degrees. This little chick was born 2 days ago, the eggs in the incubator after candling has no indications growth or movement. Still see the fur and there mass is about half the size of the egg. They were due on the 7th of jan and the hot day happened on new years eve. Is there any chance the poor little fella's may still be alive?

No, sorry. They look like mid term quitters, possibly when the temperature spiked. If they were still alive the whole egg would be dark with just the air cell light. Your one chick will be fine with just its momma. I would give them all to the hen next time, they are super-incubators!
