There may not be anything cuter than Silkie chicksPhotos of the Littles eating this morning. They quickly figured out how to eat and drink and get under the heat of the brooder plate. I just love the happy sounds they make when they’re eating, it’s one of the nicest sounds I know!View attachment 2975851View attachment 2975852
Wish I could have one of your paints and your polkies!!
Wish you could too!There may not be anything cuter than Silkie chicks
Yeah they’d come a long way and selling from the islands would be very scary for the babies!Wish you could too!
I think I will have more chicks than customers this time around! If only I could trust the post office to get them there safely!
Ah! They r soooo precious! Beautiful babies!Photos of the Littles eating this morning. They quickly figured out how to eat and drink and get under the heat of the brooder plate. I just love the happy sounds they make when they’re eating, it’s one of the nicest sounds I know!

They dont have drafts in there coop. And i dont take the chicks outside unless there is a heat lamp in the coop or it is 70 degrees. They are also 8-10 weeks old when they go out. I dont get them tell March or beginning of April.
You mean putting a heat lamp outdoors? I wouldnt recommend that. Fire hazard.
even though she can't stand up in the thing!
They’re all adorable!Well..since everyone seemed so interested, i decided to just open the mini coop door and see what happened!
Esmeralda seemed a bit rambunctious, but she has "bitten" me before, and it felt like someone was attacking me with a q-tip, so i just let her be.
Daisy did not like being charged at by the silkie roo, so a slight poof of silkie feathers went flying. That settled that.
Elsa did as I expect, charged at everyone, so i decided to just hold and pet her. She slept for a good 20 minutes, and since then seems pretty uninterested. I know she's waiting for me to turn around though.
Minnie is sort of steering clear of everyone. She is so sweet anyhow, i have no worries with her. Pretty much i never anticipate damage from the D'uccles.
Oh, and gigantic Esmeralda has decided to move into the mini coop and not leave
Life will be easier when i can get everyone sharing the same coop at night. We will have a freeze overnight Wednesday, so ill try to get the sleeping settled before then. More bodies will keep everyone cozy.
Oh, and no one has given the teenie tiny silkie any issues! I was a bit worried for her.
