Thanks, I still can't believe I haven't got any eggs from them yet ???

They must be atleast 5-6 months old, roosters have been crowing for about 1 month already.

Hopefully I get eggs soon

This is my first yr with silkies

What color would one say these are? I am guessing blue...

The hen in the single picture is the biggest one in the trio above.

It seems that all the chicks that hatch are the same color. The dad is splash and the moms are white.

Went out to check the chicks this morning and one of the white babies had its leg wrapped up in the tarp. The tarp had frayed and I guess the chicks pulled it into the brooder and he got wrapped up. Luckly I got the string off of its leg and its doing fine now. Scared me. Need to get some new tarps to cover the brooders with. Its been like 5 days of rain here and last night we had a big storm. It was downpouring for at least an hour. Everybody stayed dry though.
