Silkie thread!

[americana-chick]

I did a search and couldnt seem to find a silkie thread so i thought i would start one... I am getting a pretty good show quality silkie on friday.
Here is one of my old silkie hens. (i believe she was either partridge or silver...) R.I.P.

Hopefully i will have better luck with my new white silkie. I am hoping she really is good quality because i plan on showing her..
This is what she is going to looks like: (its a horrible pic and no she doesnt have red skin)

Now lets see your silkies!!!!!

I think there are tons of Silkie threads on the forum, but you can see some on my website. I had to get rid of most of mine. Here's a few I got to keep:

The next two are my SIlkie Showgirls:

This is one of my silkies with some chicks that she hatched for other hens. She's a great mum!
I realize that giving your silkie a regular haircut probably counts as sacrilege in these circles... but all our chickens free-range and therefore need to see where they're going. They always become much more agile after visiting the chicken barber

Wow, nice pics! I really like the show pics, too. I think it's a great "hobby" to have. With everything you hear in the news, life can really be depressing. But then I walk out into my chicken coop, and see my sweet innocent chickens, and it makes the world just seem better, honestly. I just wish some people would find a rewarding hobby, like we do, instead of putting their energy into non-productive, and harmful things. Anyway... Back to Silkies!!!

Not the best pic - they sort of seem to blend in with the wall behind them.

Hatched some paint eggs and had this beauty pop out. I know it's not a recognized color but I might play around with this. Looks like a red paint as the color is too broken up for red Pyle.
