Ok, here they are!!! Sorry for the red light, i want them to settle in and be warm before i start torturing them for pics

I got 3 tolbunts and 2 paint silkies and 1 black maybe/maybe not naked neck. So excited!!

I'm leaving shortly to get paint silkies and TOLBUNT polish!!!!!!! Omgomgomg!!

So the lady also has silkie mix chicks.. mom is silkie, dad is blue birchen Marans... any idea how the size works out depending on who mom/ dad is? I'm thinking about it, but might hold off for bantam Easter eggers.

She also has black bantam cochins the meanie color!!

Congrats! The silkie/Marans mixes will likely be fairly big.
Please post photos of the newbies!

The newest hatchling just arrived... Either this little fella is half zebra or he just MIGHT be a splash?

Cograts on the new little!
Could be splash, though they are usually not marked much at hatch.
Hard to tell color until it fluffs up.

Ok now that the chicks are warm and eating and playing, vs jumping around avoiding being caught.. i wonderrrrrrr.... looks like there MIGHT possibly be some frizzle going on....

And my little black silkie.. Definitely silkie mix w fluffy feet, but also has a vaulted skull, but also has a straight comb... maybe a silkie cochin, orrrr a silkie polish..

She had a black silkie roo, tolbunt roo and hen, and large cochins, anddd some frizzled tolbunt and cochins.. i passed on the marans/silkie, so its not that..

they are busy eating and drinking and dust bathing. REALLY want to interrupt them, but ill TRYYYY and be patient.

He/she definitely has some interesting coloring. If never seen a chick so....spotted and striped....like this one.
