Ooo, love that black silkie! I have a 4 month old..and a light blue. I can tell already, that the blue is going to make a great broody. I haven't had a mama for a while. She just took over..at 4 months, taking care of some little bantam cochins I put in their pen. I went to put the babies in a warmer place for the night, as it was still getting cool..where were they? I lifted the two silkies..ahhaa, all snuggled up under the silkies. The blue girl will call the babies over to eat when I put treats in the pen. It's so cute. I think she will go broody before she even starts to lay! Is that possible?
I am excited. Going into lock down tomorrow. I always mark the eggs, get the bator lined, and set the eggs the way I want them set the night before, so, that means tonight. I hope they are all still viable. They were 3 nights ago. Ask me if I don't mind candling.
Looking forward to some NN babies..love love the ones with the bow ties.
