Well, after just a few hours my little patient is doing very well. She is drinking sugar water, and I have offered her a few pieces of mealworm which she gobbled right up. Thankfully, I've got lots of itty bitty bugs around here that I can catch and feed her. So far, so good. What is amazing to me is that she doesn't seem at all afraid of me..........sort of like she knows I'm trying to help her. :-)

MQN, thanks for the kind words and I love it that my antics can make anyones day. What a treat for me. Thanks for sharing that. I hope it is obvious that my chicks are really my babies..............all my little ones grew up and flew the nest, so I had to take on something else! lol Cathy, I bet your poor cat thought ..............now wait just a minute here..........it is MY JOB to catch birds! lolololol Guess she showed you that even as an old coot, she can still move when she needs to! :)

Well, I'm up to 10 baby silkies.............woooooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Here is my favorite little one so far. She appears to almost be a "silvery" color, I've already named here Jazzie. Looks like I'm going to have several blues, splashes, blacks, and then Jazzie. :) 2 more pipping now, hopefully they will hatch before bedtime tonight. An even dozen, can't beat that!
