I Have To Show Off My New Friends

[kareng]

I just got six new babies, including one of Open Original Shared Link

I remember when I was a kid, my uncle said these were the dumbest birds he had ever had. So cute tho. Maybe the others will take care of her.

:lol: A website says they are very cuddly, but not so good to let outside.

Somebody with a sense of humor bred these..

The silkie is the only one unsexed, so I may end up with a very fru-fru loking rooster.

so i thought the silkie looked cold. she's quite a bit smaller than the others. i picked her up and cupped her in my hands for a while until she was nice and snug. now i've got a tiny chick tucked against my tummy, and when i try to put her back in the cage she backs into my hand as i'm trying to take it out.

Aww, poor baby. We had to let one of our chicks cry it out for the night when they were about 4 days old because she would cry and chirp as loud as she could whenever she couldn't see a human. So they went into the laundry room for the night and everyone got earplugs. It took her a few hours to calm down but it forced her to bond with her flock and she's been a much happier bird since then. She still loves humans though and will ride on my shoulder if I let her... chicken poop is pretty gross though so she doesn't get to ride very often.
