How cool would that be? My silkie would be beside herself with joy. Its like she lives to be a mommy. I hope my other silkie isnt this broody. Im right on the verge of ordering 3 red silkie eggs and 3 bantam easter eggs. I CANT STAND IT. HOW DID I BECOME SO ADDICTED??? THIS IS WORSE THAN POTATO CHIPS!!!!I think 6 bantam eggs is fine.
I have small birds, like Old English Game Bantams, that make nests in the yard and pop up in a few weeks with as many as 10 new chicks!

I wanted to share some recent pictures of my little Mia.
This year was my first year hatching silkie chicks, and I only hatched a few for fun.
Mia is the only one I kept from the Spring and Summer hatches.
She was a cute chick!
For a few months there, she was looking so weird!
She looked self blue for the first few months, then she started developing a few splash spots.
Took her away to feather out good too.
Then all of a sudden, here 7 months old, she's look so pretty!
So happy to have a silkie from my own breeding in my little collection/flock!

I have done it both ways. It is WAY too adorable to go out to check on the silkie pile and have chicklets peering up from under the whole flock when you shine the flashlight on the pile.
Yeah Ive done it both ways too. Its fun having them inside too, that way you get more quality time with them.
