Julie - they look like my waterlogged children, except you silkies are still close to their original color. I look like I have chocolate labs.

Mine are on their way home now. I'll be doing lots of laundry the next few days I think, and a lot of mopping.

Great updates, CG!! Glad to see your babies hatching out for you!!!

 

[country_girl011]

thanks guys.

i think baby #2 will follow close behind.

and julie im anxious for them to fluff up.
both babies will be staying in bator until BOTH are ready to come out lol.
im kinda anxious to check the other eggs 2. i dont have much hope that they will do anything tho.
once both babies are out i will candle other eggs
these 2 may have to stay here with me to c what color they turn out to be.
and bcuz im very attached to them we now have a strong bond.
unless they are drakes. then ar fall they will be paired off and find new homes.
