got woken up at 4:30 again (doesn't bother me, I've always been an early riser) and went down and tried to calm him down so I grabbed him and sat on the couch in the garage and he just fell asleep on my lap for a good 30 minutes, what a sweetie!

I'm so happy with my Sultans!

That is so precious.

Awww, maybe get him a diaper and have him sleep with you in the house? LOL, actually half serious, LOL.

Very sweet!

 

[SilkiesForEver]

LOL!!

Took them outside today and Einstein went nuts over the other girls! I have never seen a more excited chicken in my life. Thank goodness there was a fence... to protect him from the mean girls

and no, I don't know anything about the kite

 

[SilkiesForEver]

They are beautiful!! I love them!! Hope mine turn out like that.

Lol!

Awwww, he's so freakin CUTE!!!

I hope my babies arrive safely next week! I'm having horrible luck hatching shipped eggs

I really need happy healthy living chicks next week to cheer me up!

 

[SilkiesForEver]

I am too.

I had 10 eggs shipped to me off of e-bay and only 4 or 5 are gonna hatch, *I think*.

Three other eggs weren't fertile.

That's actually pretty good for shipped eggs They get so jostled, you might think they weren't fertile, but they could have been so internally damaged they didn't even start. That happened to some of mine, only way to know though is to open them up and look.

I'm trying to figure out if I can order a few more Sultans and pay insurance and expect the birds to arrive safely without "packing peanuts" or a bunch of large fowl chicks packed in with them. We'll have mid to high 80's where I live and low 80's where the hatchery is next week, but there is the airplane ride that I worry about as well. Just don't want all those male chicks, I don't have room here to raise meat birds, though I'd love it if I were in the country.... Ugh
