Ok I'm really getting excited now!!! Today and tomorrow is going to go soooooo slow. I want my new babies NOW. LOL

Sorry in advance to those with dial up...I'm going to blow y'alls computers up with all the pictures.

This is going to be a loooong couple of days,
but I can't wait for the pics.
I have 10 eggs due Sunday, so I'm hoping your pics on Saturday will lessen my urge to bator watch.

Here's a pic of my whites at a month old and my buffs at
a few days old

Awwww.....those silkie babies are soooo adorable. I have one white and one black and I love them! They hold their own with the regular size chickens, even chasing the PR roo, who's like 4 X their size!!

Thanks chickflick,

Now they're 18 weeks and 10 weeks, and I love 'em.
Even DH will stand and just watch the buffs (they're still in the house).....he won't admit it but you can see the joy and excitement in his eyes as he just looks at them.

Love the first pic Tammy with the lil black banty butt. You did say that the tiny babies stayed under the silkies when you first put them together. That's so cute! Sweet lil silkies!

 

[BantyChickMom]

Yes Trisha,
they would get under the silkies.

Hey Southern, What time do you take off tomorrow to pick up those new babies? Are you counting down the hours?

Maybe today will go by fast for you....hope so.
