Looks like I’ll have 4 little babies to share soon! 3 have hatched and the fourth has piped! Fingers crossed that 1 will be a rooster and the other 3 will be pullets. Hopefully these guys will be mottled

I hope it went well, and hopefully you get only one boy!

In some unfortunate news only one baby remains. Idk what happened to the rest, they were just gone when I went to move the hen.

Guess I’ll have to do a rebreed

I actually have no idea, I got the parents from Atwoods, I think they get their chicks from ideal poultry. Same for the silkies I used

You should consider getting some d'uccles from the Vaughn line, once yours are more established.

My silkied hen is sitting on eggs! Only problem is she kept getting out of her pen so some may be fathered by my sabelpoot
