The Twelve Chickens of Christmas 2003

Baby Chicks Born December 17-18, 2003

We received 14 White Silkie eggs from Royal Bantams in the mail.  We placed the 14 eggs in the incubator, candled at 1 week and discarded two infertile eggs.

All twelve fertile eggs hatched out December 17 and 18, without any help from us!
