      My silkie hen Sally hatched out 9 of the 11 eggs she was sitting on, just a few days ago!
      7 fluffy and colourful silkie chicks (one with white skin!) and 2 normal chickens. One of those looks like a penguin!😂♡

      I think that in order to get REALLY popular, the parents need to exploit their children for views. I feel that "White House" mainly view themselves as a "Homesteading/startup farming" channel, not a "Look how cute our family is!" channel. There kids aren't being recorded 24/7, there seem to be no videos on discipline issues, potty training, school problems, family conflicts kinda stuff. Those things get lots of views, but aren't healthy for the kids. I really prefer it this way!

    We just hatch 9 silkie babies from our magic fly incubator. We started with 14 eggs. First week, we had 1 quitter. 2nd week, we had 2 quitters. Hatch day came (day before Easter)and we woke up to 6 hatched babies in the incubator. As the day went on, 3 more hatched. 2 eggs didn’t make it. We have three mixed colors, 5 gray ones, and 1 little black one!!! Love the silkie babies!!! Congrats to you guys!!!!

    Silkies are my favorite breed of chicken. They are friendly and if you spend time with them when they are little chicks, they will usually come when called and sit on your lap and let you pet them all day long. I always kept my Silkies separate from all my other birds. We had a Silkie that was a multitude of different colors, she was the most beautiful chicken I've ever had. Great video, thanks for sharing this.

We had brooding boxes, but only one silkie rooster would go in them to sleep. That's it. I used an incubator on the eggs. Only one hatched... on day 23. I think we just had some screwed up silkies.

    Super cute chucks Silkies incidentally from experience the fastest way to stop a broody hen from sitting all day is to cool her down they brood when they get hot. So pop her in a cage with no nesting material and raised on bricks to let the air flow all around her keep her shaded and free from other hens and the rain give her food and water allow the air to circulate around her especially under her leave her there and once her temperature drops usually a couple of days she will stop brooding and go back to eating and running about.
