Silkie Princesses mystery egg hatch along! + Updates on chicks!🐣

[BigBlueHen53]

Yes it did! When these guys got their bars it was obvious which were the boys. The boys are much lighter in color because they have the double white bars, just like Barred Rocks. The girls are very dark. Let's see if I can find a good pic. The cockerels tickle me, they look like little convicts running around in their prison stripes. Sorry, mama has a twisted sense of humor!

There are seven cockerels in that pic (we ordered six and got a bonus) and two pullets. The pullets are closest to the camera, right by the light-colored EE pullet at center front.

Also I've been sure I had a sack of chick starter somewhere... And it turns out I don't have any! So I'll probably give it an egg till I go buy some
