    That's great you have such a harmonious flock! I have three silkies I am hoping will become good broodies and look after the youngsters like that. I have a suspicion they are a bunch of boys though.. I have some crested legbars that seem to be very un legbar like, two of my silkies chose one of...

    What is the age range in that group. I wondered about continuing to add to the first group. I had a couple of weeks between hatches and some of the older chicks where getting to be pretty large so I decided to Play it safe.

    My sultans are very hard to get a good lok at, since they went into the greenhouse floor area, I don't get much opportunity to inspect them, I am trying to handle them at every opportunity, but they are not calm when held, so I can't take a good look at the face and comb.

When I am...

    In the end only two of my sultan eggs hatched. The incubator is Stik running but I expect I'll **** it off when I am home from work. The two sultans are hanging out with a vorverk hatch mate and two light Sussex week old chicks. One of the sultans seems to have imprinted on one of the LS. One...

    They're funny looking before they fluff up! Your avatar chick is much cuter with it's puffy little cheeks. I was really surprised to see how fluffy the legs are already, I don't think my other feather legged chicks have had so much leg down at hatch. Do sultana have WAY more leg feather than...

    Due hour in 2 hours, one pip so far. Due to my incompetence there was a cool down of unknown length during incubation, everyone continued to develop but I don't know how long they may be delayed. Without wanting to count my chickens.. Hopefully will have some chick photos soon(ish) (I'm going to...
