    Peggy the Easter Egger!

    Hi there! I was hunting around for a place to buy another Silkie when I stumbled across I cute Easter Egger chick instead.

    Show Quality Silkie?

    Hi there! This is my 4 month old girl, Fancy. Do you think she could be show quality? She’s got a little frizzle in her feather, so she’s extra fluffy. You won’t hurt my feelings if she’s not. I’ve never done this before lol Thanks! Lauren

    Weird Crop or Disfigurement on Chick

    Fancy

    Hi everyone, I have a Silkie I purchased as an egg from a show-quality breeder online, and I’m not sure about the gender. I had Fancy’s egg shell tested in a lab, but it was returned as being ‘inconclusive.’ I then sent in a blood sample, and after two weeks the result returned as female...
