They are probably still chirping at this stage eh. I would like to go pet them.

They are still chirping though the bigger ones cluck and make other random sounds. Petting the silkies is like petting rabbits.

Could you get a video of them? I think in terms of birds, chickens would have to be my second favorite type next to pigeons.

Eggs look to be fertile. Candled them last night and could see veins, heartbeats and movement in some. I'll try n get pics for everyone tonight if I can enlist a helper.

If you have a feeder up higher, you can probably train them how to fly. Free run chickens can sometimes fly almost as well as mallard ducks. I've seen a rooster fly a couple hundred meters casually.
