The ASBC T-shirts are finally in. Follow the link below to order your shirt today!! Remember, we have limited quantities in S, M, L, XL, XXL.


http://www.americansilkiebantamclub.org/t-shirt.htm

 

We are currently working on getting pricing for international shipping. The S & H rates listed for the shirts is for US orders only. Message me if you are outside the U.S. but would like to order a shirt.ASBC Shirts.jpg

How small is the small??  Is that like a kid's shirt, or are all of these Adult sizes??  

 

BTW-- there should be pink shirts for us ladies!  LOL

They should be adult sizes.  There was a lot of discussion about whether to get ladies versus unisex shirts and what colours.  I was hoping for pre-orders so that people could get whatever they want, and the upfront payments would also cover and lower costs for items to be held in stock.  Unfortunately that wasn't the way things went, and since I am not doing the work, I can't reasonably complain about it.  I do appreciate that there were people willing to take on the task, and I know it can't have been easy deciding how to go when dozens of alternatives were proposed.

I ordered the size I usually wear and I hope it's not too small... you know how it is.  I can be a size 8.5 in shoes typically and then I buy a different brand and suddenly I am a 10!  I would have gone in for pre-order!  I just hope I don't have to give this shirt to my oldest boy.  ha!

Thank you peepblessed!! It's funny about the buff coloring. I thought Robin was a white Silkie when I purchased him/her. The buff color was a happy surpriselol.png

I didn't include photos earlier because she is kind of skittish and I couldn't get her to stop running.  Today I put

her up in the nesting boxes and I was able to snap these shots.

I THINK SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.  THE COLORS IN HER FEATHERS LOOK LIKE A LIGHT GRAY TO A BLUISH/GREEN ON THE TIPS OF THE FEATHERS ON HER NECK.

Yes she's pretty but she's not a Silkie.

She's probably a Sizzle.
