Farmin Momma,

Can we have an update on your sister? Any word? (insert worried .gif here)

Well, I really wish I had some news, but none to speek of yet. Trying to talk to all of her friends and no one seems to know where she is. My grandma is going to my dads house now to get find the most recent pic of Rachel so we can make flyers.

On a happier note, I did get my new chicks today that I traded my sweet lil goat for. He said they are all about 8 wks old and they were charging between $3-$7 for them. So the trade was for $75 worth of pullets. I was thought I would get between 9 and 12....... I got ....... 18

There are 4 Buff Orps, 3 Silver Laced W's, 2 that I think are Red Stars? 7 Black sexlinks and 2 that I am not sure what they are, one might be a blue cochin and is very tiny so could be a bantom and the other looks like the sexlinks but very small and with out the red coloring on the chest. They all have some feathers missing as I am assuming that they were in to small of an area. Here are some pics.......

This one looks like a mini Black Sexlink, any ideas?????


This one I think is a Red Star???


This one (laying down) is really small and has fearther legs and feet. Not sure if you can see it but she has darker grey on her head, neck and chest. Then lighter grey on the rest of her. Again, any ideas??????

Quote: Just switched mine to nipple waterers yesterday. I left the other water in for the day yesterday and pulled it last night so they would be thirsty this morning. I showed them this morning and after 1 got it they all followed suit. Pretty easy. And I agree that not having to clean poop and gunk out of the waterers all the time will be fantastic.

Awesome!! yea, I can't wait! Where did you get yours?

Thanks FRF - We're sure enjoying them. Although every day also reminds me just how messy chicks in the house are and what a relief it can be to finally get them outside!!! My biggest challenge in the next week or so will be finding someone to build my coop and run. I'm thinking I may need a grow out coop and then just for leave silkies I'm keeping in it. Unfortunately my actor buddy told me it's a little beyond his skill level. I have the plans for a coop that I think would be perfect for them since it's lower to the ground and has a short ramp. Then the Seramas could summer in it too. I'm envisioning a taller covered run around it. I thought it was pretty cute though!

Nice!

Just had the Silkie babies out for photos. Not happy having their pictures taken. They would much prefer to be cuddled.
I am confused about their colors. Two eggs were marked "PA" which I thought Karen had told me was paint. I know paint does not breed true, so I have no idea how these will turn out! Pretty sure they won't look paint though. So one of the paints looks black and I may even have the black and paint confused. I was trying hard to keep them all straight as they hatched, making notes, but when they dried they looked different! The egg marked blue/splash I'm sure who hatched out of there, but this baby looks a lot bluer than splash. So may turn out blue, maybe splash on a blue background? Who knows? I guess the fun will be the journey of discovery. I love them all.

So here they are! I believe this is one from a mystery "PA" egg. Love the attitude! And great leg feathering!


This is the other "PA" chick. If I had to make an uneducated guess, it looks more partridge to me.


Here's my blue splash baby (maybe vaulted skull) - who had to work VERY hard to get out of her shell. She's valiant! (and she had just stepped in poo - sorry!)


Pretty sure this is my vaulted skull black baby


Definitely the vaulted skull Lavender baby


And lastly, my beautiful porcelain sweetie.

Oh my gosh Dana!! No wonder people like them!! how cute!! I have GOT to learn how to take pictures!!

Thanks for the welcomes. I spend most of my time in the Nevada (where I live right now ) thread but I'll start spreading myself around.
