I just brought home two four month old Blue Silkies. Other than looking a bit dirty, they seem to be in good health. I have only owned Big Orpingtons, and have never even touched a Silkie until now. They are supposed to be a pair. Silkie experts give me your tips on raising happy healthy birds. what to look for as far as quality etc. I am calling them Wills and Kate. Hope its not Wills and Wills etc. I will post pics later but one birds is darker blue almost black and the other is more of a blue like I am used to seeing in my Orps. Thanks for your advise. I look forward to learning!
Idle Hour Orpingtons
Blue, Black, Splash,
Chickens, Goats, Miniature Horses, Geese, Dogs, Cats. Most will stay here forever, except for some of the poultry. I will offer chicks and eggs from time to time. My goal is to breed the best Orpingtons that I can. Emphasis is on quality not quantity. We have also started raising Silkies.

Forgot to add. This is not the only Silkie thread, just probably the most active. There are quite a few of them for the different color varieties.
