My hatch-Chicken chicks & new silkie cross chick

[Farmer Kitty]

You know, you are really making me want to order some eggs to hatch!
Of the 6 jersey black giant chicks a friend gave me, only 3 are left.

OUCH! What are you doing with those chicks? I have trouble with hatching but, once here I've been lucky.

I don't think it's me!
He picked up the chicks at local bird auction, so who knows what they went through to get there. It was a hot day and I believe they were in the van and box way too long. 1 of his barred rocks was already gone when he opened the box. 3 of the black giants weren't looking too good, I was not surprised they did not make it. The 3 that are left, just ain't right, if you know what I mean.

Ahh, chicks need warmth but, not to be cooked. I see what you mean!

Apparently I was wrong about when my broody started. The chicks that I thought would hatch around the 26th started yesterday. Here is the first one. I have at least two others that I can see have pipped. It's so exciting!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Ah, a very cute chick too! Mom is pretty, what breed is she and the chick?

 

[Cajunsamoan]

Mom is a game. Dad is a silkie. It will be very interesting to see what it looks like as it grows. Some of the other eggs are from my buff orpington and silkie hens. I also have a rhode island red rooster. It's kind of like a science experiment every time chicks hatch around here.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Mine are kindof like science experiments too! They are so fun to watch how they feather out and grow.

 

[Thewife]

That's a pretty baby Cajunsamoan!

Just like my cows and my dogs, pretty much all my chicks end up black!

 

[Cajunsamoan]

Thank you Farmer Kitty and thewife. I think this baby is the cutest little thing! I can't wait for the others.
