I get 4-5 a day sometimes from our 6 silkie ladies.

We need more girls, I hope we get some in the spring.

I'm just hoping for a half decent trio out of my growers at the moment

I apologise my photos have been pretty shoddy lately and so have my replies.

A lot has been happening lately and getting time to even just relax and have 2 minutes with my birds is proving difficult.

I've sent quite a few hatching eggs out and I'm just hoping that when they hatch, they let me see what the chicks look like. It's quite important for me to see what hatches so I can keep better records of my birds chicks. It's not uncommon for people to let me down though and never get back to me

Luckily one person has and I'm happy to see the 5 they got from me as day olds are growing up nicely. I love the two partridges. I also believe the chick I was unsure on if it was black or blue is actually black from looking at it here.

Here's that black one just after I hatched it:

And here's a few of them, you may remember when I posted these photos, that's these chicks (except the gold ones, I sold them separately later on):

It's strange, although my moorhead partridges are not what I focus on breeding, everyone wants them...

Thankyou, I'm very glad also!

It makes my day getting to see how they grow

This is what normal people my age do in their spare time right?

Walk their roosters...

I'm getting my Maran/GameFowl cross a harness to train him away from distractions when I let him out. He's just so hyperactive, & hard to control sometimes. The harness probably won't fit my silkies, cuz the harness is for roosters weighing 6.6lbs. I think one of my Silkie Cockerels might fit in it, but not all of them.
