That's great for you, Melissa. It won't be long. My first chick made it out. Once he started zipping, he didn't waste any time.
I heard a thunk, then looked and there he was. I thought they were supposed to be tired. He's all over the place.

I have a silverey one and a yellowey one

I will post some pics when they fluff a little - I don't want their first pic to be a stink eye pic

I like the stink eye pic.

I now have 6 hatched out of 7. #7 hasn't pipped yet. I hope it's just late.

I've got 2 buff silkies out, 1 partridge, 1 paint, another paint pipped and the third paint I am not sure if its gonna do anything. Its not even pipped internally. I can see 2 or 3 black feathers on the back of the new paint chick..Not as many as my first paint chick, but I'll take it!!! from what I have read they can get more spots as they mature. I will get a pic as soon as hubby gets up...the bator is next to our bed where I can keep an eye and ear on things at night.

LOL

Hi Jenlynn4

Can you tell what color they will be by what the chicks look like? I have two that hatched this morning

that are just so precious

! I am new to silkies and these are my first

! Their skin is very dark but their fluff is cinamonish and yellowish

 

[Melissa Rose]

The beautiful eggs I have from CJ are marked with their colors but these two are surprises

 

[jenlynn4]

thoes are buffs! do they look like this? :

It's still pretty dark here and I hate to use a flash on their new eyes but here is a side and back shot. One is darker than the other.
