I'm still on the fence with little Easter's gender! .. I have started a thread with him/her pics a week or so ago and will continue to add pics here and there till I have the final verdict!! ...

She absolutely is! I named her Pumpkin and I’m already enamored with her. She already eats out of my hand and makes these purring sounds as she eats.

Pumpkin got to meet the other teenagers her age ( Preppy & Bluey )

I think I'm cursed.
In 2 ways...
The first way is that I keep on getting 3 chicks in every hatch. My first hatch I got 3/6 fertile eggs. My broody hatch, I had 6 eggs- 2 were infertile. So out of the 4 fertile ones- I got 3 again!

The second way is that the oldest chick is always a rooster... Pickles was the oldest- he's a rooster. Clover is the oldest of Pippin's children, and is already growing wattles!

But pickles is the best!! Can you keep Clover?

Probably not gonna be able to keep clover, since I already have 2 roosters (pickles and kiwi)

Just thought you fellow silkie enthusiasts would appreciate this “fluff butt” photo of my one and half pound Layla while “free ranging” this afternoon.
Happy Friday Everyone!
