You guys might remember me posting a thread about 9 months ago about a purebred mottled silkie I found & then purchased. Well she has been through a molt (& several broody cycles) & is very spoiled so I thought that I would post some before & after pics as I just gave the girls a bath.

This was when I first got her from awful conditions:

Thanks-it's upside down actually but yes, it's Hebrew. BTW, the devil eyes in the back of some of the pics are my bottle calves. I keep them in cages for the 1st week so that I can keep an eye on them & keep things sterile, then they move out into the group pastures.
 
Nah, Cassia is a year old girl who lays eggs & goes broody constantly. I was starting to get really worried when the comb & wattles started growing & was about to write her off as a roo when she laid her 1st egg. She was my only chicken & grew up in the house her whole life.
 
Thanks-I'm sure that with some hard work, you can breed a mottled silkie. With her, she was just a weird popup due to a mixed color program in her background.
Cassia is my heart & I think she is going broody again. Both of them spent the last 2 days in the box.
