I do a hatch each May or June. Sometimes by incubator sometimes by broody hen. This year I had 5 broodys, so no incubator needed. Seven hatched and they are being raised by the Queen Mother of my flock, Isabelle. At this point I think she has raised everyone that's out there! Best, sweetest mama Silkie. I had multiple hatch dates (won't do that again) so these are ranging from 4 to 6 weeks old. What colors/patterns you think we have here? I cannot capture a good picture of the last one, but that chicks eyes are greenish/brown, unusual!

The gold and grey ones look as if they carried the gold birchen or silver partridge genes

The 3 black and white ones could carry the cuckoo genes

And the plain black one is indeed black.

Any pictures of the parents will help
