Okay, you guys are helping me greatly in sorting out my hatch from this weekend. I had some chipmunk babies hatch from my new black pen and I was totally befuddled! I was thinking I had mislabelled some of my partridge eggs or something...now I'm thinking that one of my "black" hens just might...

WOW! What a find! Like treasures in a haystack!!

LOL! How ADORABLE!!

AW! I love it! The perfect little ornament!

Aw, aoxa! Love the pix! I'm a Phyllis Phan so even if she wasn't in a picture mood she is still gorgeous... That nameless parti pullet is beautiful, too! She definitely needs a regal name...time to mull that one over... Thank you for sharing!

These pix are so beautiful!! And your model is STELLAR!

He looks good!! I LOVE his feet! Congratulations

I have also tried to hobble them without success...so terribly sad, but I'm a bit relieved to hear that I'm not the only one having trouble getting those teeny legs splinted and the chick still able to mobilize. I did have success with putting one in a cut off paper cup, legs properly placed and...

I agree! Thank you so much to all of the experts for sharing your advice, stories, pictures and opinions for us "newly hatched" to absorb like sponges! I have only had silkies for 2 years and was a bit intimidated about asking for opinions about my birds or a dumb question, but no one has ever...

Keeping you all in my prayers...please keep us posted on how you are doing!

Wonderful! Thank you so much for asking! And how are Your chickens today??? I'm treating an itty bitty one for wry neck (she's doing great!). When I was finished messing with her for the evening I put her back in the brooder with her buddies. She sat off a little to the side of them and...

SUPER CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have officially been bitten by the bug! Be sure to post more pix of your teeny one...are the rest of those eggs silkie too??

HILARIOUS! I was going to do the very same thing!

Beautiful, beautiful birds! I have to admit that Phyllis is a fav of mine...I'm partial to partridge And those little, teeny fuzzy butts at the feeder???? PRICELESS!!!

Okay...thank you all for slapping the sense back into me....I will offer him up for sale before I get MORE attached to this handsome, sweet dude! And Tiki, I'm in Ohio - a pleasant little roadtrip from the Badger state! I'm right on the way to the Nationals in Columbus so you are more than...

WOW! I have so much to catch up on after being gone for a week!!! In the meantime...I have this roo that was hatched out in mid-May who has some serious silver leakage in his hackles. Just a very slight peppering everywhere else. I was thinking, just for fun, to put him in with my black...

I have a batch of dark blue (shoulda been black....) silkies that are approaching 4 months old. I think it was mentioned on here that leakage in the hackles is usually a sign of roo???? I have one with red leakage only on the front, one with silver peppered thruout its whole body and one with...

I use different colored zip ties after having the same experience that you had, Aoxa, with the spiral ones with my swans. With the zip ties you can put them on the youngsters, too, and just clip them off as they get bigger to replace them.
