She's looking much like Storm did (with different comb). She's going to be a stunner!

Your thoughts re: next year she can find her own eggs seems reasonable then...and she can find homes for those chicks. You aren't involved on any way. Stick to those guns rather than be a softie.

Teddy's coloring is coming through. Fluffy is recessive white. Curly's chick may (more likely WILL) bend up being blue and frizzled. Fluffy's babies....Teddy clones?

Are all the silkies dark?

:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs You know certain hens will take the babies. (Henny Penny, Penelope). You also know how to raise babies with the flock (including mixing bantams in). Revisit the idea if/when the time comes down the road a ways. Right now keep an eye on Curly and the rest of your...

With the bantams snuggled inbetween the older girls, they're plenty warm, even on top of the heat panel. Your big chicks are feathered enough to not NEED it, but young enough to still WANT it. The bantams are fully accepted as part of the little group. Good job!

Ooooohhhhh, beautiful! I like the look in his eye: calm, yet alert.

Once a broody has babies, THEY are her focus. THEY need food, she will get them to food and show them how to eat it. THEY need water, she will get them to it and show them how to access (like a nipple waterer). THEY need protection, she will turn into MAMA BEAR.
