Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[LadiesAndJane]

How exciting!! I know you mentioned these are your last two hatches for a while.. rooting for the soon to hatch and congrats on your 6 Littles!! Can't wait to see their silkie rolls

Thanks! I have 25 Silkie eggs in the refrigerator right now, so tempting to set them. Seems a waste not to when you can get such cute chicks out of them!
I don’t currently have anybody on my waitlist, I think I saturated the Silkie market in my local area!

Speaking of which.. little Bambina is still very tiny. She's 14 weeks this weekend, and her crop still has me worried. It looks way too big and doesn't seem to empty. I did buy the non-stimulant dulcolax, think i should give it to get still, or just let her be? She is running and flapping along all day.

If she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it I wouldn’t give her anything.
She might just be a smaller bird. Does her keel bone feel like she is underweight?
I’ve used the Dulcolax with birds I have had issues in the past and it does work pretty well.
You can try posting her under the emergencies thread and see if anybody thinks you should treat her.
I would recommend weighing her weekly to see if she is gaining weight.

Oh, I am so happy you found her!

Me too!! I was so worried!!

Awesome photo!
Love how the littles are all snuggled up in her fluff. I thought you had given one each to your girls? Did Fuzzy end up being the better mama?

I did, but yeah, they seem to have chosen Fuzzy! Betty has had one with her occasionally but they definitely prefer Fuzzy! I found them both showing them the food and water yesterday. Takes a village, right?
