Silkie thread!

[gambit2178]

Sharing a few more...now that they got their own coop, I find myself spending a little too much time with them. What can I say...I love my Silkies!

I just love this picture...I think I captured well the little chat they had going.


And the funny picture of the day...

Picture perfect! Is that a Silkie egg? I'm so used to tiny Silkie eggs that regular eggs seem soo huge...

It is! She just has tiny hands, lol!

ok. Here is the silkie egg on the left and a grocery store size large on the right. I honestly thought they would be MUCH smaller!

I GOT BABIES!







Today is the beginning of day 21, and I woke up to 3 babies! A couple more eggs are starting to hatch now.

I took a pic of some of my eggs too, pardon the dirt, I had just brought them inside after a rain. The brown in the middle is a Black Copper Marans egg, and they usually range from Large - Jumbo, this one looks like a Large size. The rest are Silkie pullet eggs! The thing I found odd about the Silkie eggs, is the fact that their yolks are almost as big as the Marans eggs! Good eating too....if you aren't hatching them!

I had these 6 babies born last Friday and Saturday! The little Black one in between the Partridges, wasn't too keen on the photo shoot. They were rudely awakened by my noisy camera, and I swear I saw some "baby stink eyes" in there!
