Chickwatch 2010 Has Begun!

13/04/10 5 out of 7 eggs hatch, sadly 2 dead in shell, possibly result of a 16 hour power cut at a critical time. 4 Silkies & 1 Pekin 13/04/10 This Pekin has a grey dorsal stripe over yellow & gold down. I thought egg was laid by blue hen, though.
13/04/10 Palest Silkie looks buff or light partridge, just like mum, who is meant to be a Silbar 13/04/10 A definite partridge Silkie chick, looks really 'chunky' and full of beans.
13/04/10 How we got 2 blue chicks from a white cockerel is beyond me. Maybe dad's a diluted splash with no spots? 13/04/10 Not quite dried yet, but the gold and grey markings in the down are showing already. Not sure what colour this will be.
14/01/10 Day old silkie chick looks just like mum, who is a Silbar. 14/04/10 Sleepyhead, one of the day old Silkie chicks who looks very dark blue.
14/04/10 Pekin chick sporting some lovely blue/grey dorsal stripes. 14/04/10 No doubting the colour of this little chappie, a sturdy looking partridge Silkie.
 
14/04/10 The second of the blue silkie chicks also looks quite black.
