Gosh Angie, I hope you're feeling better soon. When my husband had the flu, he went to the doctor, got antibiotics and prescription med's & still was miserable for over a week. Two weeks later when I caught it, I didn't go to the doctor & I doubt that my husband got any better any faster than I did. I think the only thing that seemed to help me was Sudafed for the congestion, Tylenol or Naprosyn for the aches & fever and as much rest as I could get.
Well I'm at work right now ... having to work overtime til 2 am. I didn't have a chance to separate the silkies and showgirls from my marans chicks that hatched before I added them to a brooder that had 2 day old chicks. I've just been so rushed lately! Never enough play time with work and overtime, and feeding all my critters. Anyway, I know there were at least 5 or more chicks that have the showgirl characteristics. I remember seeing some yellow showgirl chicks, some other colors and several colors of silkie chicks. I intend to split them up in their very own brooder, since the marans grow so fast & will outweigh them soon. I promise to take pic's just as soon as I have some spare time. Of all the eggs I got from Angie, only one did not develop, and one chick expired before hatching. That is EXCELLENT RESULTS from shipped eggs! THANK YOU ANGIE! I'm definitely happy with my chicks. Oh, and I also want to clarify that Angie sent me both showgirl and silkie eggs, although sometimes showgirl eggs may hatch out silkie chicks ... at least I think that's how the genetics go on that sort of thing. Eventually, I need to figure out the genetics part of this, since I just recently bought some frizzle eggs on BYC (some could be naked neck) and just last week bought a frizzle turken rooster. It sure is fun having odd looking chickens! I never knew that variations of naked necked chickens could be so interesting!
