The lower picture is more of the true color. Off white with grey streaks. I think the pattern will be awesome. I still can't tell on gender yet. The comb is a pea comb and still small. It is six weeks old today.

Leave them be. A month ago, my broody hatched some on day 23. I honk it was due to the cooler temps. I'd give it a little longer if it were me.

Yay! We live on an acre right now. You are going to love all of that space!

It's a little brisk this morning, isn't it? I fed everyone and got my turkey hens back in the run (the usual) and then checked for eggs. One egg. Uh oh. I think my girls have a nest somewhere. This is the only bad thing about having an acre plot with the neighbor's 2-acre plot right next door......

RedIII - the egg hunt makes it Easter all year long My girls free range on our acre and try to hide eggs. The young ones aren't too sneaky but that game hen of mine!

I went to IFA yesterday and had to look at the babies. None came home with me but I'm thinking I might have to go back. The jersey Giants are tempting me!

OMG, I have to run to the feed store... My **** heat light blew. So they are all under a 100 watt light bulb. They seem fine right now. But I need to run and get one. I so hope I don't come home with anything other then my sisters 2 Cuckoo Maran's that I need to pick up.....

Anyways I locked down 32 eggs, I have 25 babies. I really had 27, but 2 of them hatched but didn't thrive. Not sure they were dead in the incubator this morning. They hatched overnight.. I had 1 that pipped on the wrong end Wed Night, and yesterday morning it wasn't breathing. I kind of feel bad because I kept looking in there to see if I could see it moving, and thought I did, but after a few hours I decided I should break it open a little more since it was on the narrow end, and the chick wasn't breathing anymore. So sad, my only 2 Silkies didn't make it. This morning I candled and tapped to see if the last few eggs were moving or chirping. They all looked like they must have died when it spiked. But not bad. 25 babies going on a road trip...

What a coincidence! I plugged my heatlamp in to get the brooder setup and, pop there goes the bulb. Now I need to head off for a new bulb. Dangerous place to be heading this time of year.
