Now it's time to meet Skip's flock favorite...the Silkies. We have a total of 5 Blue/Black/Splash. Three are pullets, 2 are cockerals. Out of the 5, one is a Splash pullet, we have one Black cockeral and three Blues: one cockeral and 2 pullets.

After we finished working on the main coop/run, the Silkies got the Teacup Pterodactyl Townhouse to themselves.

On October 11th, 2007...one of the 3 girls gave us our first Silky egg at 21 weeks, 3 days old!

At 25 weeks, one of the Blue twins decided to go broody for us. Due to the time of year (we've been in the low 20's most of the week, at night) and lack of coop/run space, we are breaking our broodies at this point in time. She was put in "Chicken Jail"  last night and will reside there for the next few days.

6/9/08...found this huge egg in the Silky nest box...OUCH!
