I have never had a chicken go broody for me- I’m excited to Hopfully not have to incubate and brood chicks inside for a while! Also Thin Mint is precious- how old is she? I wondered if cross beaked birds could live a somewhat normal life or if there wasn’t a chance. But I got my answer now, what...

Thank you very much! They do all have 5 toes that are “normal” and not fused or missing nails. We weren’t planning on showing but my daughter fell in love with this Breed and want to try 4-h. I’m going to do a lot more reading on them. But I love hearing from actual breeders/owners of a specific...

Thank you for explainging that. I have read about single combs but have not seen one, this is all new and fun for me. I appreciate your response :)

Thank you! So from what you can tell these are all normal colors for silkies- sorry but I love any knowledge I can get :)

Is red also called buff? I chose a couple that I had never seen the colors in silkies- and I’m a person like non traditional or different things lol.

Thank you everyone for your replies. He’s is currently knocking all the other eggs around trying to get...

Ugh it is super hard, I have been impatiently waiting for this, and when I seen that my heart sank. So far

My this is my first hatch and they were due yesterday- day 21. None pipped or were showing any movement- so I quickly candled and they were all moving viable babies still. So back in lockdown they went. Today one pipped at 1:30pm- well I’ve been checking on it and it’s peeping, moving. Well I...

ISO: serama,silkie,polish, and turken hatching eggs, would be open to any other types of “different” breeds as well.

Thank you very much! I’ve already learned a ton, and plan to learn more 😊

I bought an extra thermometer that also gives the humidity on it and I keep it at egg level. As far as salt test, I haven’t read anything about that in the hours of research I’ve done😑, can you please explain what it is, or possibly point me in the direction of where I could find information...
