I wish! They are a result of some casual barnyard mingling. ;-)

Time to clean the coop...

I found a silkie breeder willing to sell me some hatching eggs, only an hour from my house.
YEAHH!!!

Good!

What a day. Global warming has messed with my deep litter winter plan.
The coop is clean and nine eggs are in the incubator. I've decided to create a new breed- the barnyard surprise.

Nice to have a local Forest Laker here. *waving hello from Scandia*

This is my bantam Cochin, Amy. She no longer lays eggs but loves to hatch them!

I went out to visit the girls this morning and my beautiful 5 month old buff Silke pullet Blanche was crowing. I guess she needs a name change. I was thinking the "Kernel" as in Sanders.

Silkies are about the hardest breed to sex.

Yes they are. Everyone always says you know when they lay an egg or crow

That is about it. I learned early on to not guarantee my sexing until they were about 5 months old. By that time I can usually see who is what.

Good luck with the eggs @FLakergirl !
