I took this shot of my favorite little Silkie from the HAL with her favorite broody buddy. They are always together, silly things. The bigger one is a White Chochin. Believe it or not they are about the same age - the Chochin was hatched on Monday March 16th and shipped with 7 others from My...
She's perfectly happy with things like they are. She started with Chester and Emma.....then she found Nappie and Annie (the pigeons) and rescued them. Soon Chester and Emma had some babies, and the next year they had some more babies! She had dog crates and when she claps her hands in the...
Ah! You MADE it!! Glad to see that! I'm so sorry about your duck. My daughter raises them....totally in the house...all 22 of them. Yep, you read that right - 22 ducks in the house (no diapers) along with 2 pigeons (she calls them Rock Doves).

Yep, I recognize it! Cute little chickies, too! I have all 9 - yes, you heard right - 9 of my newly hatched Silkies under mine right now. I can't believe we got that many. And they took to MHP like they knew exactly why I set it up for them!
Still had 5 eggs left in the incubator that...
Cynthia, is this what you mean by "paddle walk"? Oh, you may want to turn down your volume before you watch - the kitchen exhaust fan was on and it's in the wall next to the counter where I had him to video him.
We have Silkies!! So far we have 4 yellowish ones and 2 blackish ones, and a few more pipped.
