My babies are growing so fast
it seems like the older they get, the sweeter and calmer they are. They let me pet them now without complaint. Sorry about the rough enclosure and dirty feet. It's been pretty much flooding here recently, and after one day of it I had to take them out of their ground pen and quickly fix up this old hutch, safely 3 or 4 feet off the ground. Can't have my sweet babies getting all muddy
i have six more due to hatch this weekend

Do I see two...one with its head down on the left right next to the little head sticking up?
I won't stop stressing until the last one is out of her shell though. She is about 1/3 zipped and I think resting when I checked. I lured Summer off the nest by moving the food in closer. Summer moved just enough to see the zipping egg. Bonus, getting her to eat taught four of the six chicks where the food was! 
. It also had an extra toe growing out of another toe so I figure it probably had more issues than just endurance. Is that a common issue with silkies at all, weird toe growth?
