Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Thank you! How do you dry it afterwards?

Id just towel dry it, unless youre somewhere freezing.. (if its just the crest, not the whole body). If its cold out, id put the hair dryer on warm for a moment. Should dry really fast either way.

After two days James' foot was normal.

Oh I did the other method I found on here with just masking tape! I hope it is enough to correct it!

Gorgeous

They are beautiful
The baby with the bent toe could have a curled toe - when my little James (he was the last one who did hatch) did have this on one foot this article and especially the pictures from LadiesAndJane helped me dealing with it:

Look at them They are all so adorable! Bambina is so tiny
How cool that Barney does have a forums- twin: Snow

Awesome! Fingers crossed


Ezzie is precious! I'm so sorry about the other two eggs
That's great that you will get some siblings for her


That's the cutest car load ever

My Teddy's crest looks like this at the moment/since several days (...weeks?...)View attachment 2999066
and I wondered if I should wash it. I had to wash some messy backsides in the past which was no problem (they all really enjoyed the hairdryer afterwards, lowest temperature level), but I was and am very hesitant to wash Teddy's crest/head.

Esmeralda, my bcw polish.. she intentionally gets her crest messy.. she gobs it up so she can see!! She looks so happy afterwards

Yes masking tape is enough to correct it I'm sure your little sweetie will be fine especially since you started treatment so early!

She's a smart girl Mudcoiffure

Here it is cold night and day at the moment and I was afraid that Teddy's head gets too cold because you can see her grey skin all the time...she looks bald but isn't, her crest looks like dreadlocks

Okay, thank you!

PuffPuff's crest is the same way, but I don't dare wash it right now with this cold (-1 F). She's in the barn though so I'm not too worried about it at the moment, I just want her fluffy feathers back

Unfortunately the 2nd egg that was pipped passed in the shell. I also candled the 3rd egg this morning and did not like what I saw, I did a egg-topsy and sadly I was right. The chick must have passed around the time they went into lockdown. The surviving chick is very strong and was moved into the brooder this morning. She will have to be a singleton until Tuesday when Rural King gets in a shipment of chicks. I hope to find someone who will split a order with me as I only need 2 or 3 siblings for her, but if not she will get the minimum 6 siblings.
My mom and daughter have named her Ezzie.
