Oh!!! That partridge is gorgeous!!! So much floof!

Hey question on the blue cream formerly known as porcelain...so is that just for Silkies? Curious bout the porcelain since that is what I had planned on trying to do as project.

This color? (This is my porcelain duccle) If so it's not just silkies there is many other breeds that have it.

Yeah I have 3 porcelain d'uccles too!
Cute baby ya got there!!!

I wasn't sure if porcelain wasn't recognized as a color just for Silkies or across the board. I mean it makes sense for Silkies since ya can't really see the porcelain detailing. So Blue Cream fits better if changed just with regard to Silkies.

Ok, so I got Eeny Meeny Meiny Mo and Minnie all squared away today.. started with two of the smallest going from light to darker splash, then the two biggest doing the same, and one small one with darkest splashes was Minnie.. that was easy..
Then on the the itty bitty pen.. I can't believe they were cooperating today. Pete and Repeat at times.

Just silkies. That color wasn't the same as the color in the d'uccle. To be accepted in APA it had to have a different name as porcelain has to have the feather pattern which the silkie color does not.

Silkie color is lavender over buff, not the flower pattern.

New mom accidentally crushed an egg that had started hatching last evening when I checked them. Poor thing was shrink wrapped and yelling it's head off when I checked this morning. So had to dampen the membrane and peel it since a third of the shell was gone. Must dampen to see if the veins have receded and it makes it easier and unsticks it from the chick. Stretched out it's little feet to make sure they don't stay curled.

Been a few years since I've had to peel a chick. It's always good to know when to intervene and how to do so.

Babies that hatched last night! Half are in the incubator, the ones that look a little damp still, I took them out very briefly to do a quick clean of the incubator and put them back. The other half are in the brooder and already eating!
