Ok so...the ONE egg I had left still alive in the bator is STILL alive (the silver laced polish from Kelly) and in the air sac now about to pip :D It is due to hatch either tomorrow or the next day! SO anyway...we all know that we can't leave a baby chick ALL alone right? Kelly, right? So hubby has agreed that we should go to the wildlife center and pick up a few chicks. I called them today to see what they had and guess what they have!!!??? BLUE SILKIE chicks! It's what I had in my incubator! I had polish and silkies in there...all the silkies died :( NOW I can get more :D I'm so excited. I will share pics later.
Kelly, Our G phoenix now has a new name...Nic calls him Phoenix lol Simple....and the polish has kept the name Shelby. Shelby is a REAL big sweet heart. When I put my hand in the brooder she comes running up to me sticking our her chest for me to pick her up or pet her. (Don't really know for SURE if she is a she just call her that) I just love her! The phoenix is getting better every day now that I got rid of the roos that were getting WAY to big for them. Now it's just the two little girl orps who are nice...and Shelby and Phoenix. They have LOTS of room now and love it. I can't wait to show you my new silkie :D We will be gone tomorrow but hopefully tomorrow night I will post a pic.
Kelly, I'm thinking Phoenix is a boy...REALLY super pretty colors coming in. AND a REALLY super long tail coming in too! LOL I will post pics of him tomorrow too. Still no waddles tho :) And the comb isn't real huge and NO red yet either. MAYBE it's a girl...do the girl phoenix get a pretty tall comb?

Hey Carrie, well you know I am sitting here sick as ever, but I had to read what was going on with the egg! That is so cool that you found blue silkie chicks. :) You tell Nic that is a great name for him. Tell him that the a Phoenix is the mythical bird of fire too, thats why we named my little bantam Phoenix. Wait now, I thought Kelly was the serama, boy for sure, right? I am confused! If you see any black feathers coming in on the Golden Phoenix, then its probably a boy. They have to be black though. I will look for the picture when you post next. The girls on the Phoenix stay pretty small and they don't get real red. I am coughing my head off, time to go find my medicine...love you, Kelly
You should name your Phoenix "Fawkes" like in Harry Potter!! I can't wait to see the Blue Silkies....I don't even know what they are and I'm excited!!!! LOLOLOLOL!
Keeping my fingers crossed for the hatching....
Pooh Hugs,
Linda
