Hey all,
So about two months ago, one of our hens passed away. Since that only left us with two girls and one boy, we decided to take a gamble and hatch one of the eggs. (We know a home if it's a roo, which we can't keep.) Baby Troubble is now 9.5 weeks old, and half-Silkie (the roo), half-gold-laced Wyandotte. We've got good hope that it's a pullet, but, well, silkies, and Troubble has occasionally distanced him/herself from the group recently (though despite the name, he/she doesn't seem to be getting in any trouble with our rooster).
The bottom half of his/her comb is still flat and black, the top is starting to get a bit pinkish. Anyway! Pictures!

ETA: a couple of bigger ones:
