I'm not a fan of keeping silkies. But I think they are adorable and stripped ones so cute !

Can I ask why you don't like silkie? Just looking for opinions.

I'm told most people love or hate them. They are in my opinion hard to look after in wetter climates. Feet feathers get muddy and mucky easily and they don't much care for rain/ being wet. For me they were to much intensive maintainance and they lay every second to third day ( small eggs). As we have high rainfall and family that devour eggs they were not suitable for me. That's why I say still cute with big friendly personality

Great pictures! They are so much fun to watch grow. Those first eggs are so thrilling too. My 5 year old son thinks its so cool when he finds a egg in the nest boxes. well enjoy and keep pics coming as they grow.

OJ 6 weeks old
My little bantam barred rock I tend to call him/her Little Bit because it's so tiny. S/he isn't much bigger than my 3 wk old Japanese bantam silkie crosses.

OJ is adorable! Not sure on gender. I know nothing about bantams. I'm getting more and more interested everyday.
