NO PROBLEM AT ALL! You sound just like me when I was picking mine out! They' all have different qualities and attributes and it's hard to pick! But I'd love to help if you want!
Sorry ya'll! I'm in the midst of cooking dinner and trying to chat at the same time! Not workin out to well...lol. Yes Peaches...from Silkies description of her silver, it looks as though that's what your little hen is. She's really pretty and I love the mate to her as well. It's neat to see a...
