What's wrong with their feathers?

Awwesome Love their coloring too!

Jean- I know for some traits in animals there are two different genes that can create the same trait. Even if the gene is silkie and not fray, if the gene is not the same as the silkie gene in silkies, might the result still be a hard feathered bird?

If there's a hole (and not just a pip) you may end up having to help baby out. If they make too big of a hole the inside will get too dry and they get stuck. Just something to keep in mind.

I was thinking that with the humidity that high ... it may get stuck; sticky. I sure hope all is well, alice.

Beautiful Kathy! I can't get over how long and wispy their feathers look. Are they super soft too? (they look like they are)

Still no word from alice!

I had to help one of my chicks out during the January hatch, and it is doing just fine.

On another note: Kathy and I are working on getting me two silkies in a week or two - which I will breed with my rooster. Should be interesting to see how it turns out.

And very cute pictures of the chicks, Kathy!
