14 chickies now Annieyokie, the splash chickies are silver, if you put one next to a white chick you can see the difference. Tina, there's 2 splash (woohoo!), some blues, and I think a couple of whites. They're mixed up with my Silkie chicks so havent done a definate count of colours yet. There is a bearded white though

Another chickie has hatched. There was a dozen Qld eggs, of which I removed 3 after 7 days (2 were infertile, 1 blood ring). Of the 9 left, 8 have hatched and still no action from the 9th so probably dead in shell but will leave a little longer as it is only day 21 today. I set a dozen of my own Silkie eggs and a dozen F Pekin eggs. Quit a few were removed at 7 days due to infertility. Not the best fertility at the mome in the FP pen, think I need to trim some bottoms lol So yeh, I'm happy with the result anyways. 20 chickies will keep me busy for a while
