So the chicks are out in their brooder pen in the coop now. They've put themselves to bed every night since I got them, and they know and trust their MHP, so I'll do my best not to worry tonight.

I also see you say you have experience with hedgehogs. My families Hedgie isn’t doing great-she’s well taken care of, but she has WHS. Do you know of anything that can help her be comfortable?

One week old babies. There are 5 Cream Legbars (2 girls/3 boys), 10 F2s (6/4), and 9 BC1 to Legbar (5/4).
The BC males will be getting DNA tested for blue egg gene zygosity. They will go with my BC1 to Welsummer females (Feb hatch) that lay green and also the F2s that lay green.
Still working out which phenotypes I like best. Crest is a must in the final product.

My silkie bantam Kiri laid her first eggs and became broody after a month. I tried the usual cold bottom tricks and remove her several times a day to eat and drink but six weeks later she is still there!
Will my Silkie bantams be heavy enough to open a platform feeder? The garden birds are going into the coop and eating their feed.
