My broody silkie hen Blossom thought it was Christmas yesterday when we gave her 5 newborn chicks to take care of...
It's her first time with babies but she is an excellent mom, very gentle and patient!
Any guesses on the breeds and/or mixes?
One of my friends gave them to me, he wasn't exactly sure about the mixes but had some ideas.
This little one is perhaps a black cochin / brahma mix... what do you think?
left to right: cochin mix, EE, EE mix, rhode island red?
left to right: brahma mix, EE, EE mix, cochin mix?
brahma mix?
who is who!
