Hi everyone,

 

My name is Allison. My husband and I both live in Florida and have been lurking on this board for quite a while, now. We decided that the silkie breed was the one for us! We just purchased 3 silkie babies as shown below. :) I have a TON of questions but will be looking through the forum for the answers, first. ;) Just wanted to introduce myself and our new flock. :) (Their coop is to be painted purple.. hence the name. :) )
