This is how Max likes to sleep. ANd she has to be against skin. She's always going under my shirt to snuggle.

adorable

sorry, i haven't! How is Max

Max is spectacular. She is cleaning herself while sitting on her heating pad watching Castle. I used the straw in my water to drop water on her beak to clean off the strawberry frozen yogurt. Now she wants to drink out of my straw. She runs over to my cup and grabs the straw with her beak when she's thirsty. Which is every couple of minutes. I hold my figer over the end and let her drink from the end. SHe thinks it is the greatest thing ever.

how do you know what sex silkies are i got three 1/2 weeks away from hatching the wait is killing me ahhhh

I wish I knew. I have about 15- 2 months and under.

Thanks can you see the spot at day 1

you might...sometimes chicks are born with combs and others take a few days to start but in my personal experience it's obvious by 2 weeks or so at the latest

Holy turtle fudge. Skip a couple days on this thread and miss 6 mobile pages of posts. Congrats to all the new chicky parents! I have one lonely little quail egg due today (or tomorrow..or the day after..lol), 32 more due early next week along with 9 chicken eggs.

I've heard of people putting in a bowl of rice. Never tried it.

Dinner must have been great tonight because Max's crop is twice the size as usual. Boy, can Max eat. Pork Chops, lettuce, potatoes and cookie. Ran out of ice creeam. Some one ate it all. Max is still getting used to her jammies. I heard a noise in the other room and this is what I found. The final 4 from the last hatch. Unfortunately one died this morning. I love this picture.

JammieMax and those chickydoos.
