Edwards' East of Eden :

I'm officially playing with silkies.

Got some eggs from kentuckysilkies, and had hatching last weekend! Please pardon the baby overload -

So, help me here. Is this white or buff?

That last one, dark/orange, Scruffy, has been bathed three times so far, and gets a little fluffier every time. Poor babes.

I'm so excited with these babies! They hatched Saturday and Sunday, and have been drinking from a little teacandle votive cup with four marbles in it. Yesterday, though, they found the water bottle in the brooder, and they're steady tap-tapping now. I ground up starter crumbles for them, but they keep dustbathing in it - so I gave them a pan of sand, too, which they are now ignoring. Whilst they continue dustbathing in the food.

Little stinkers.

oh my gosh!!

Do those odd colored chicks have stripes on their backs? Any black/lav splits in the back ground?​
