Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

[thedragonlady]

Or both feet now that I really look at the picture. She was hatched in November. Any chance she may grow out of it? (Wishful thinking)

Takle a photo of her from the rear showing how the back toes sit.

What color would you say this pullet is? Blue or lavender? Her head is very light, not like a typical blue. The flash makes her look VERY light. I can get pics in the natural light if it's needed.


And I had another group of chicks hatch from a hen that I know is BLUE....got blues and still got one partridge baby. Is it safe to say its the cockbird? I'm letting the eggs clear so I can change gears to another rooster.... I've got true black and splash. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It may be the lighting, but in these photos she looks like a grey.Look at the color of a chinchilla.

looks a bit like Icelynn. If the head is darker without the flash she is just a light blue. I have a picture of Ice where the flash makes her look self blue

Same bird

Thanks! I will look up the chinchilla color and grab a pic of her out in the snow for more natural lighting. She along with several others were given to me by a friend and she looks so different from my others. Deciding who to keep and who to sell is tough. She's a cute little monkey though.

What a difference in the color with these two pics! My pullet is much darker than Icelynn.

Definitely not self-blue. How old? What makes you think boy? I had a cockerel this color, almost looked like blue and splash mixed. By 10 months he was a perfect blue. There was some partridge genetics going on though. Show up in the chicks on rare occasion.

Does it come with all the zip ties and handles and I don't have a Paypal or anything so would a money order be okay?

Do you guys have birds that make weird noises like mine? It's almost like a popping sneeze....but it's not a sneeze, I don't think?
Her eyes, nostrils and everything is clear. Eats well, she's quite plump actually. lol I can't find any signs of sickness. Just makes a weird noise. And what's even more weird is that we have a black hen that used to make the same noise. She no longer does this....now THIS pullet is making the noise.

You can hear it in the beginning of the video.
