So Sweet Silkie Show
- Thread starter country flock
- Start date
I hope i'm not too late to enter!!!
I have seen you already have the poll set up!!!
Name: Marshie
RFN: We thought her as a baby was adorable with a "marshmallow bonnet" once her puff began growing in...so we liked the name marshmallow, although I wanted to change it once she was older....soon enough we began calling her Marshie, then we sort of stuck with it.
gender: female (pullet)
Owner's Name: bantambury
Name: Eggy
RFN: Eggy, was not babied well by his hatching mother, and fellow flock members. the chickens pecked the entire shell off of poor little eggy, leaving him in the inner shell membrane, in the open air. Eggy was not ready to hatch, but was forced to hatch without an egg on 5/29/13. We were not sure if he would live, being attacked by the flock, the egg being pecked off.
We ended up opening the membrane up, to let it hatch without his egg. We fed this little guy propel, but his eyes were still closed, and he was still in his egg shape. Once he moved a bit out of a fetal position, he was still attached to the egg. He had a small piece of shell on his umbilical cord, slightly moving it we accidentally tore it away, beginning to loose a mass amount of blood (some you see in the picture) We cleaned it, putting medicine on and flour to stop up the bleeding. His strength slowly began to increase, but we would still have been surprised if he would make it. He did not do much laboring. We kept feeding it propel, hoping a little miracle would happen.
One day passed, and this little chick was still not well. we did the same routine, feeding it propel, lifting its head, and diluting chick feed for him. We knew it would be a miracle if he lived.
The next day, I woke up to the little bird gone from his fetal position spot. I began searching the brooder for him....but where had he gone?!?! I found him under my elder silkie chick's wing!!! He was all dry and running around!! he was a whole different chick.
Because of all he had gone through, we named him Eggy.

I know penny is only a baby still but I wanted to enter her anyway. I hope that's ok?? She is not yet 3 months old and has a lot of growing to do yet. But please accept her entry even though she is a baby.
She's an awesome baby
Thank you so much!! She's such a sweet little girl! She has a really sweet disposition!! I just love her so much!!
