Silkie Christmas Surprise!

[paddock36]

We found this baby the day after Christmas and figure she/he probably hatched out Christmas day. I got rid of my Rooster but let the hen keep her eggs just for the heck of it and surprise one baby hatched.

Awww, what a great surprise. Too bad there isn't 2 or 8 more!! She is adorable!!

That's true, but we were just as surprised because I didn't know when she started setting and didn't even know if any of the eggs would survive at all because the hen was laying everywhere. We kept collecting the eggs and putting them in one spot and finally she figured it out.
