I'm a game bird, and Delaware fan, but I now have 3 silkie chicks. I think they are Partridge. I've always wanted a few for broodys are fun, so I was very happy to see them in the bantam mix at the feed store when I went chick hunting for my broodys. one is a real crack up, always darting here and there, just a real cutie. it's hard to think they are less then a week old, the way they zip aroung.
I would really like to see more silkie chick pics, I'll try to share mine.Jocelyn aka Jp Artist, writer, and all around crazy person

As soon as I saw the picture I thought she was one of the little one's from outback here. She has a few twins left here & they are carbon copies of her. I'm so glad you are happy with her, they are really the sweetest birds! Keep me updated on how she does!
