    Looking for silkie hatching eggs!

    I got eggs from Glamorous chicken hobby farm (facebook page). Couldn't be happier. Best hatch all summer and birds are amazing. Very glad I went to her. I don't know that she will have any available right now but maybe. You can always IM her!

    silkie sexing

    Not sure how old this one is exactly. I am guessing about 11-15 weeks? The Pom on the head looks pretty round to me. I think this silkie is going to be bearded after all as the last feathers of his/her neck are coming in now. Wattles are very small but reddish. The comb seems to have grown...

    Boys or Girls and about how old? Silkie and blue ameracaunas...

    I have one silkie that is older than the ameracaunas but not sure how much older, I'm guessing about 5 weeks? The ameracaunas may be a few days apart. I got them from a breeder but was so excited I forgot to get their ages! Any guesses yet on sex? The bigger,bluer ameracauna I think will end...
