I'm so thrilled! Can you tell I'm a first timer? I ran all the way back inside this morning yelling "We got chicks!" to my hubby and kids.

You have the best incubator there is, A SILKIE HEN. No temp spikes or turning, just food, wate and a little love. And POOF, the chicks are here.

I hope these pics go through. Sorry about the blue tone, the sun was shining through a tarp.
Poof and her mate Lacey Boy are both white Silkies.
