    Silkie thread!

    Quote: ========= I'm working to cross silkie with bantam blue-laying eggers. Have goals in mind! But curious: why do you think silkie eggs are gross? They are closer to white than egger eggs, just smaller. Like quail-egg size. BTW: No more silkies (or eggers) have died since last week! I'm...

    Self Blue (Lavender) Silkie Thread

    Just wondering what are the showable colors of Silkies? I show rabbits and I know Chickens are a completely entire different thing, I think a Chicken Show would be interesting.
