Three out today and mama has them with her now!

She is very happy!! These babies are black silkie mixes (with either barred rock, light brahma or buff orpington). Two have the extra silkie toes and one doesn't. I'm glad I had the incubator around!

That's great!!! Post some pix of your little mixed guys when you get a chance... I love seeing the baby pictures.

All have hatched and are with their mama now! When the last 2 started hatching I put the eggs back under her and let them hatch there and everything happened great!

:cd She looks a bit overwhelmed! I could only imagine going from 1 little chick and leaving the nest thinking that was it, to having 6 all of the sudden! It's really cute to see them all pecking at her comb and her just looking at them like "why ?". I will post picture soon!
