I had a little splash silkie hatch all by itself and was very lonely for two days till another two hatched out of a different setting. Boy were we happy. It cryed and cryed but now bossing the other around. Acts like a Rooster.
This is a young black pullet that is as tall as Blue Boy my blue Roo. She is as wide as him too.
This is my mottled Orp cockeral. He is 6 months old and very lanky and tall right now. He looks like he is saying to that silkie " Want to come out and play?"

This is Speckledhens Roos daddy Blue Boy with a few of his hens.
Here is a young Splash Cockeral who has been in competition with Blue Boy from the looks of his comb. He is young. About 5 months.

My 11 month old Blue Orp Roo started gurgling yesterday and holding his tail down, standing in corner. No nasal discharge or anything like that. Holding his mouth open to breathe. I read for hrs. yesterday and it sounds like gapeworm to me. I didn't have anything to give him last nite but...
