Theodore, Daphne and Reggie

Meet Theodore, Daphne and Reggie, the newest additions to the Evans' family. These chicks were born on April 23rd and 24th and have been quite the hit at Evans. For 21 days we incubated these guys in hopes that they would develop into beautiful chicks, and they did just that! These are Silky Chickens. Silky Chickens are known for their unique black skin, black bones and extra toe. They are very sweet chickens and act a lot like indoor pets.
