As soon as DH came home he asked me, pleadingly "are they okay to pick up yet?". After a bit of cuddling he went immediately for his camera. I have seriously never seen him so ga ga over chicks before, I think the silkies have gotten to him, sending out mind control vibes from their eggs for 3 weeks. They are adorable, they have POMPADORES!How have I gone without silkies for so long? French hen, you may have rock star chickens, but mine have some serious 50's groove going on, with a splash of 70's bell-bottoms.

As soon as DH gets home he's going to process the adorable pictures he took, I promise!

So far I have 7 out of 9 that made it to day 18 hatched, one has some hatching issues but I hope it will make it okay. One appears to be dead in the shell, I candled it and saw no movement.

So, I am hoping for a total of 8 out of chickenszoo's 15 she sent. Which, considering they traveled 2000 miles and endured a 127degree temperature spike, has got me giddy! I am so glad I didn't toss the eggs after that spike, we are seriously wallowing in cuteness here.

I don't have rock star chickens yet, thanks for the reminder.

I can't find any.
I am so happy for your hatch! and yes, I want pictures of the fluffy headed fuzzle bums.

Aren't they just adorable? DH can't stop doting over them. I built a brooder using old wooden framed windows with screens put in them so that we can see them easier. It's like having a fluffy, chirpy fish tank! The cat likes it, too, glad we went with the metal screens.

I have 4 more hatching Sunday.

I'm still resisting the power of the dark side, adorable as those little vaders may be, and holding out that someday I'll get my little Afro hens.

I'm very happy for you though. I can't wait to see them grow and become big fluffies!
