Yeah that was what I was thinking, but I know I need to wait a couple more weeks. I am allowing myself 2 roos and I really do not want two white ones, and I would be torn to tear these two apart. I noticed today that Popcorn's head hair is starting to show looked little streaming, but need to wait till it all grows out. Oh the waiting.....
I want a porcelain. I'll check out the auction forum. Thanks!
Now that is genius!My shipped eggs are starting to hatch today! I have 3 out and 4 more to go out of 12. (7 made it into lockdown) I'm really excited!
I have been really busy! I built this cute little pen under my back deck yesterday! It's been wasted space for a long time and I've tried to grow everything under the sun under there, and nothing grows. I gave up and it was just weeds that had to be pulled and mowed down. No fun. So I came up with this brilliant idea for a grow out pen for silkies!
Please keep your fingers crossed for my hatch.
10 eggs made it to lock down yesterday, one of those was questionable because we couln't see very clearly into the egg.
But still saw veins so we put it in. One of the 11 that were developing died somewhere after day 10 candling.It was a splash.
I am so nervous! I am glad that they are over at a friends house and not here! I would be going absolutely nuts!!
She is going to text me when things start to happen so I can hopefully go over and see.
I don't know how you all do this over and over again.
Although I am now looking at incubators, so what does that say? Lol!
What a fantastic idea! I'm planning on having another coop and run built just for my silkies, but if I could have even another grow out pen that would be even better. Brilliant use of space! Looks good too!
I don't think that's a Silkie? It seems to have black feet, maybe a mix? Silkies do not have normal feathers like this little one does.Are there different types of Silkies or are they go by color? Some seem to be fatter, bigger, fluffier different breeds or sex or just what they turned out to look like?
I have an unusual Silky. I purchased 2 at the same time, just hatched. Same mom and dad. Both grey/silver just like one at the bowl of food in other pic. But as they grew, I found they
are very different! One is a normal Silkie, other didn't get so fuzzy. Fuzzy top hat, tail and feet. Extra toe on feet. But smooth feathers! It looks like it mixed with my Lavender Orph!
It looks like a Polish Lavender Silkie, lol!
What is muesli??A tip to make your chicks like you moregive them 1 time a week yoghurt with muesli !! It is healthy and they like it soooo much they will run towards you when they see you coming with it ;-)
Indeed Muesli are multi-grain cereal + dried fruits. But it's the yoghurt that give them the advantage ;-)
