They hatched!!!!! (DUW!!!)

[Kara]

Dakota, my gold-laced Cochin went extremely broody on me, so I let her set some of my Silkie bantam eggs - look what hatched!! Two little black Silkies!


Here's she is being a good surrogate mom...


Eggs from some of my standard girls, including a nice double-yolker from one of my Turkens:


Some of the "mostly growns" - these girls should start laying in July or August...
"Powder" - a Speckled Sussex


"Wendy," the Salmon Faverolle, and a yet-unnamed silver laced Wyandotte


One of the Australorps, both silver laced Wyandottes, and a Barnevelder (the brown one, back right). Still in the naming process on some of these girls. You can also kind of see "Marzipan" hiding in the trees (back left), she's a lightXdark Brahma cross.


And because I'm also a sucker for ornamental birds...
"Puck" - a gold-laced Sebright bantam. These are tiny, males are 26 oz at maturity.


One of 2 gold-laced Polish that I recently acquired...they are SO goofy!

I LOOOOVE bantams, and silkies! they are soo neat.

You got some good lookin chickens! I know a couple of Mexican families out here that would die for those chickens, no joke!

There is a very large chicken community out here

Dang little chicks couldn't wait a couple days?

They are super cute little ones, and I love the eggs. Now all of a sudden I feel like having a chocolate bunny.

Cool! My uncle had some polish chickens but a dog broke into the coop and killed them. they are cool looking birds though!

Those little silkies are just too cute!!! Someday we will have a few assorted bantams - silkies are high on my wish list! I love the others as well - especially that Polish!
