Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Egg on left is from my 9 year old ameraucana it's gotten smaller as she's got old.

Egg on right is from an F3 project silkie. This is her 3rd egg. I'm impressed with the color as I know she only has 1 copy of the blue egg gene. It also doesn't has the greenish tint from the normal silkie egg color.

I switched them to the water bowls yesterday because we are freezing now. So of course she did this

I assume she was sticking the entire front of her body in the water bowl then rubbing on the ground. Then repeated. It takes effort to get like that but only on the front.

Finally making my way over to the silkie thread!

My 8 week olds are starting to fluff out now. I can’t get over their cuteness and how sweet they are!

I notice when my silkies drink, it's the whole face in the bucket.. no dainty sipping for them!

My silkie used to dunk her whole head in the water whenever she took a drink.

Any hope of this egg hatching? Possibly damaged from another hen laying her egg on top of broody. Due in about a week. I tried to seperate her with the eggs but she escaped and went back to her own nest. I'll have to try again.

I'd put it in the incubator and cross my fingers. In the bator it has a decent chance
