Well I am down to one partridge baby. The littlest one didn't make it. I don't think he developed right. Sad. I have decided that since partidges look like a sunrise, I would name my little partridge Henley. Since the Eagles sang tequila sunrise. It's hard to name chicks sometimes. I just love the markings on it's head!

Sorry about the little one, sometimes they just don't make it.
I love their markings too - that's why I have "Goggles". He looked like he was wearing a pair of goggles over his eyes as a chick.

Just make sure the dog doesn't kill the chickens!!! My cocker spaniel-they are breed to hunt birds-wants to EAT my chickens!!!!!!!

I lost one of my 10 Silkie chicks yesterday
It was so unexpected and I have no clue as to why. I had to help a lavender chick hatch because it was upside down and it is a tiny thing. It kept falling onto its back and couldn't get up and wasn't eating. I hand fed it for the first 3 days (good thing I had the Kaybee hand feeding formula Catdance suggested) then it started eating on its own and is doing well. The one I lost was one of the only 2 white chicks I hatched. It was a big chick with a super vaulted skull. It is the one that everyone was sure was a rooster from the pictures I posted. The chicks are on Corid just in case. Today I banded and numbered the porcelain chicks to keep track of how their color develops as suggested by ChickNmamma. It will help me in the future pick out the chicks that will develop the best color
