Here are two more from the other silkie, sadly one died the day after it was hatched. the other eggs were not fertile and were disgarded yersterday so she has one chick to bring up

so that is five in total. I am well over the moon

All chicks are doing well to date as well as mothers

SAD DAY

The cock has passed away no apparent cause of death all others healthy no attack from predators just lying there in the corner :cry: He has had approx 8 months of 3 girls though so he probably went a happy cock :oops: I will return the two silkie hens i had on loan after the 3 new chicks are a few more weeks old.
