and the same to you. Loveing the pictures everyone. To answer your question Newton, i don't see he harm in gently wiping a new born chick down with a warm wash cloth. One of my sussex had a dried up blood vessel stuck to his feathers on his head, the warmth from the brooder and playfulness of the other chicks had it gone in about a day.

And last but certainly not least another little blue orp hatched sometime in the middle of the night. Sorry for the bad pic I had a heck of a time getting her to be still.

I think I ended up with two little black roos, two blue hens, and a black hen. Not sure about the sexing yet. Just guess from wing feathers. Time will tell. Now I have the bator heating up for my second batch. I have about three dozen from my flock and fourteen purchased silkie eggs. See you guys on the March Madness Hatch thread!!!

Oh and they didn't seem to have any trouble getting out using the egg cartons and clean up was a piece of cake.
