I gave the 2 new ones some pedialite and vitamin E this morning, both perked up within a few minutes and are eating and drinking good now.

Great! Glad they are doing well!!!

Yesterdays, hatch. I used my seed bin to do the photo shoot. Makes for great accuracy of color. They are so cute I just want to climb in there and snuggle with them.

OMG!! What a guy!!!

Thanks I can't help but laugh though when I see him striking his big boy pose, while still making baby chick peeps.

I can't help but laugh though when I see him striking his big boy pose, while still making baby chick peeps.

I'll be anxious to see how he develops.

The little guy on the up turned jelly jar is first hatched. Twelve hours old as I write this. Second vaulted scull chick is #4. #5 hatched a just a bit ago. One pipped egg left will give me six chicks in twelve hours. I'll leave the hatcher going with the remaining five eggs until tomorrow morning then pull the plug. I've been keeping hatch day notes on each chick as it comes out and how long it takes for them to lift their head or stand erect. Even though they are all white silkies I have meticulous notes to tell them each apart already. I see no culls so far. All have black skin, slate beak, five toes each foot with well spaced digits. Black eyes and alert, vigorous, chirping, and moving around inside the hatcher. It's been a happy hatch day!

Mumsy - the chick is adorable, it should definitely be POW.

He's sexy and he knows it.

Quote: I was going by APA recognized date. ABA doesn't list the dates a breed or variety was recognized; at least not anywhere that I know of...APA lists it on their website. All in all, I prefer ABA to APA. Silkies ARE a bantam breed
