Silkie thread!

Just pick another Silkie similar in age to your current pullet. They look old enough to take from the momma now. Usually by 2-month-old-chicks the momma has had enough of mothering.
Thank you again! I wasn't clear I guess. The pic that I posted was of the broody when she was younger. Her clutch are on day 12 or so of their incubation. I am picking them up after the eggs hatch. I appreciate the advice and will look for a friend for her to hang with so that she won't be alone by the time she is done mothering her littles.

so sad to have to add another.
 
Just bought some silkies from tsc and after reading around I'm a lil worried about my silkies. Is there any reason people don't buy silkies from tsc or don't want silkies from tsc? Should I be worried that they aren't silkies?

They had quite a few different breeds and the lady told me they were picking up different breeds today.

I have some 3 week olds from tsc and 2 5 week olds I hatched from a local breeders eggs biggest difference I've notice is the leg feathers on the tsc are nowhere near as full as the older silkies when they were this age and the feathers arnt as fluffy they do all have 5 toes just can tell tsc is def pet quality
