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!

X2, just too cute!

Thanks! They are even cuter today.

She's beautiful. I just love her spots!

Thanks, I'm hoping it's she but still not sure....

So cute!!!!!

I love the scratch idea!

I don't know why the scratch made the colors right but it did!

Gorgeous

and very UNIQUE!!!

Thanks! Really hoping for a girl!

These silkies are so pretty... I'm just curious if my Silkie is SQ. I don't think so by looking at these pics, but is she at least 4-H quality? She does look a bit like a boy and has kinda boy-ish features, but I know she is a girl. (She lays eggs) Please give your honest opinion.


Headshot


Body (Sorry i couldn't get her walking/in a natural pose, she is horrible with pictures!)


Her feet (I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure they lack feathering)



Here she is in a group shot, it's one if the best "natural" pics I have of her.

Just for fun, here is her egg!



She has all black skin (she had pink toes as a chick, but they turned black), shiny blue earlobes, she is bearded (poorly in my opinion) and has very small wattles, and all five toes. I'm still not exactly sure if she is a dark blue, or light black though.... I would get a recent pic of her, but there was some flock competition going on and part of her crest is picked, and it looks lopsided and silly. So, what are your thoughts and/or opinions?

Simply adorable Mumsy! Haven't seen you over in the Road Less Traveled lately! How's things? Your grey silkies? Are they doing well? Gotta say. My silkies aren't the brightest things. I built a feeder way back in the coop. All the other birds found it no problem, but the silkies were starving themselves and did not find it since Thursday. Crazy things.. I have to have a separate feeder outside, because they like to spend most of their time up against the barn.

Only silkies that eat out of it, are Janet's three babies. She is STILL mothering them, and they are 3 months old! Doesn't she look tired? LOL Being a single mother is tough!

Oh and I forgot about the other George Jr.

Frizzled Silkie

He's molting a tad.. He has the exact personality of his father. Very silly boy
