Space Chick Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 My inccy is on with 20 eggs (Wyandotte bantams, pekins, red silkies and legbar x leghorns), my first hatching Whilst picking up the red silkie eggs, the breeder had 2 gold silkie chicks.... We'll it would have been rude to not have brought them home So, my brooder has been set up earlier than anticipated. The chicks are 4 weeks old, so will be 7 weeks when the eggs hatch, so will be big enough to go outside by then Pics of the silkie chicks : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I know just how you feel Space Chick! I am on my first hatching too, with 24 pure breed Frizzle bantam eggs in my incy, now on Day 7. I am so excited, but worried too, in fact just how I felt in the run up to my first girls arriving with their cube. Those little chicks are gorgeous and, you are right, it would have been very rude - not to mention absolute madness - not to bring them home with you! Good luck with your hatching.

Lewis Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'd normally say cute but... Silkie chicks have the ugly-cute factor like TNNs when they first hatch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
