Silkie thread!

[chicknlove]

Of course it was sunny when I ran upstairs to grab my camera but got cold and cloudy when I was finaly ready to take the chicks out for a photo shoot.. So I only got a couple good ones and ran them back in to get under the heat.

This is Palace, she's my only MB chick left. Almost 15 weeks. I love "her" I think it's a she.

A box of babies.. In some natural light.

Splash with the most fluff

White, letting me know it's cold outside.

And.. the rest of my pics are blurry. I was trying to hurry. Next time I'lll wait till it's a little warmer with a little more sun

I have a first time broody. I didn't think she was gonna stay with it but she has so far. She started out with 5 eggs and when I went out and moved her today, she had eight. I'm not sure which are new and which ones she had first so I am just going to let her alone. I moved her into her own box and she is staying in there now. Hope the chicks break your broody hen.

too cute  

Is it true that silkies are so Motherly that they will raise chicks for you?  As in if in future I order chicks or eggs and give them to her to brood instead of me...

Yea, make sure she is in the mood! I tested that theory with mine before she was broody. I brought home a chick and introduced them. All was fine for a few minutes then she would purposely seek him out and attack him. Ended up having to give him away.

My 2 remaining MB chicks(17 & 18 weeks)

General Tso(Blue cockerel) and Marsala(Porcelain pullet)

General giving the stink eye(his eyes are trimmed up so he can see)

I do think that General is going to be showable. Nice type and fluff and very good feet feathers. I think we will try once in the late fall at a show in Chehalis, WA
