Hi guys..I've been off Facebook, and social media period, for a while, hope you all are doing ok and had a good holiday season?!
Here's some grow-outs from my Paint Silkie group..loving how well they are turning out. Great feathering, and some pretty spots popping up! I've had to put up with them inside(mudroom off the kitchen), but my silkies are laying well even though it's cold, so I'm going to hatch early and be done with the majority of the hatch well before the hot weather and buffalo gnats start up. I have 18 nuggets cooking in the incubator as well, and 22 more ready to go in. I'll be up to my eyeballs in Silkies 😄
I have one baby that is either a normal frizzled silkie that's extra curly, or, she's what they call a "Woolie" in Silkie circles. My Silkies have a lot of Sherri Minker's blood lines in them, and she's has these Woolies pop up from Time to time. A mutation of the Frizzle gene?
Time will tell..her name is Bo Peep. LoL
The old timers always say that chicks hatched in Feb/march do the best for them, and they're definitely always through hatching for the year by June. From past experiences, I definitely agree.

Take care and happy hatching! 🐣
