That is so sad for the black mama.

she doesnt seem to care, shes still laying on the few eggs that havent hatched yet

The black mama is not ready for babies, and they are picking up on it (she may even be pecking them away). So they are going to the mama who is nurturing them.

Oooh
sounds interesting.

The breeder is called Ringnalda the Dutch Silkie breeder and she calles this color Beige

this breeder experimented on creating the color first and then and now is introducing it to the Silkie breed

this is how the color was born

I thought about using those clips but thought the other chickens would pull them off. Do they leave them alone?
