Do you have any Malays for sale or some coming for sale in the next couple of months? Would love to but a breeding trio.

This is my only surviving silkie, stray dog attack. Since then we have reinforced and electrified, so no more dig issues. She is about 4 months old now. Here is here at two months. She has gotten so fluffy but is super light when you pick her up. Like dandelion fluff.

We love them all but each have our favorites. I adore my silkie but my EEer opal is my favorite as she gives "hugs" where she comes up and puts her head and neck over my shoulder and snuggles into me. My daughter loves my silkie the best. Hubby just like eggs sooooo.........

This is my splash when she was younger, I'll get a new picture of her now. So fluffy!!!!!

Yes! She is soooo soft. She is my sons favorite out of all six pullets. She is sweet and gentle and doesn't flap around while he tries to hold her but will still run around and scratch. Other than size I see nothing else "wrong" with her. The only other chicken we have that is anywhere near as...

She is also really fluffy, like all feather. Same weight I would expect of a silkie.

I don't have a weight on her yet. I have never weighed any of my birds. They all have grown at a rate and to a size I expected before now. I'll see what I can do about weighing her. I gave her brother and sister to a friend so I'll call and see how they are doing as well.

I'll get some pictures of her. She is 9 weeks old. Went back and grabbed my incubation sheet from when I was hatching. I only have one chicken bigger than her now. I have one silkie and then the three little babies that still have mostly fluff and are just getting wing and tail feathers. She is...

I have one little CLB pullet. She is so tiny! I had to take her out of the coop I had her in with a silkie and EEer that are all 3 months old and put her in with my 1 month old austrlorp, marans and little EEer. The one month old chicks are catching up to her in size. My question is: Are they...

K, you're right. That silver or gold leakage can be a booger. Recessives popping up are irritating sometimes if you aren't wanting them. I'm having to rebuild at this point. Had a very persistent feral dog that took out half my chickens and all but one silkie. I have one splash left. :hit

I agree that you won't know what you will get with one bird being white as it covers up the underlying color but black breeds true, maybe thinking of blue there. Black definitely breeds true.

They sound beautiful!

To tell you the truth I haven't thought that far ahead yet. Will see if they can accomplish it on their own and if now will do the artificial route. Right now just trying to get some of both to maturity. God question though. I have seen some big roosters mount small hens and they just kind of...

I like your paints. Mine is the exact opposite with mostly white with a few black feathers. Too cute.

I have a paint as well. Depending on the white show girl is recessive white or dominant white. If you put him over the paints and if he is dominant white you have a chance at 50% paint depending on what is hiding under the white showgirl. I like the look of the show girls. Hope that helped, I'm...
