4 or 5 Silkies have been brooding for the past couple weeks. I think the first chick looks like a Silky/JiDokKo mix.. the 7 or 8 eggs I put under the 2 hens that started brooding were from two separated areas at a great local farmers market. One section had about 19 hens and a rooster of the same JiDokKo breed(?type?) .. but the other section had 4 JiDoKo hens and a Silky Rooster I provided on request for the lonely hens... I wonder if there is a hybrid vigor phenomena for egg hatching too? I'm thinking hybrid now because the previous batches of chicks from the same farmers market seemed more brown and less golden.. the golden sort of color is like that of the Silky chicks.. but this chick had orange legs and few toes like a JiDokKo chick I guess...
