mrsallen08 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hello all! Finally I can show you our new chicks! Pat (the broody bantam) did amazingly and from 6 eggs - 1 infertile - 1 cracked - 4 good! All 4 remaining ones hatched! We have 2 silkies and 2 barnevelders! Here come the pics - Just arrived! Very camera shy and Pat is still hatching the last egg! Some fresh air! 9days old! Quick pic before Pat gets in the shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsallen08 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi all They are now growing by the hour! And getting 'big' feathers in all places now! 3 weeks old pics! http://s878.photobucket.com/albums/ab349/mrsallen2008/?action=view¤t=100_1236.jpg Both our barnevelders are boys - Very thick legs and very upright! Silkies I know are hard to sex so we are just watching for shape change at the moment as both are very round and timid. Although they could just be foolling us!
