    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I'd never heard of the vaulted heads! Always learning something new here! Hopefully at least one if these little babies will be a hen and decide to be a broody mama. Then I can experiment and really mix it up out in the coop!

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Little punkins! They always look so sweet sleeping like that, lol. It's neat learning about these different color genes and how they work! Not that I mind white at all, but I was excited thinking I'd have variety this time, then I saw those white feathers feathers peeking out! Lol, I'll just...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Hi! I was at Orschelens last week and their chicks were all marked down so I splurged a bit, lol. I got a nice assortment and 3 are silkies. Here's what I'm curious about: All 3 have different colored down,1 is white, 1 is a peachy yellow color, and 1 is kind of silvery white with some random...

    If I cross these roos with these hens what will I get?

    They are so pretty! Your seriously making me consider ordering some new faverolles! I'll be sure to post pics of all the little ones when they hatch! I may do a little switch a roo and move one ducks eggs into the other other ducks nests and slip in some early chickens!

    Lol, yes, all the bells and whistles on a hen is definitely better! I've noticed that all the birds Ive had from hatcheries tended to be smaller than expected. Thank you for the encouraging words and for sharing pics of your lovely birds! I wish you the best! 🙂

    Toasted is the best color description! Toasted and fluffy! Perfect! I wonder if a beard is a dominant trait then? I've never had Dominique's but I did have a Speckled Sussex, very sweet tempered and so pretty! That's why I'm so excited to get the chance to hatch some eggs this year! The years...

    BEAUTIFUL! And Negan sure is a handsome fellow! And they have the best fluffy faces! I love that creamy color blended with the grey and then the black and white on the neck! Gorgeous birds out on a gorgeous day! What a welcome sight on a winter morning! :love

    I LOVE faverolles! I had some years ago that were the sweetest chickens! Unfortunately I lost them and a few others to a predator problem(now solved thank goodness). Did the daughter of that cross have feathered legs and a fluffy face? That's great news that she lays a blue egg! I'll cross my...

    Thank you! That's what I did yesterday, I copied and pasted it to the general breed discussions! I didn't put it on the breeding one since it said SOP. LOL while they're all perfect to me they're in no way the standard!

    I love the genetics calculator! It sure is easy to lose track of time trying out all the different combos! My trouble with using it in this instance is that I have no idea of the parents of these birds except that the father was a silkie or a silkie cross. The lady I got them from had so many...

    Hi all! In exchange for some of my spring ducklings I'm getting use of an incubator for as long as I'd like and I'm wanting to rebuild my flock as most of my layers are pushing eleven years old now. Im just trying to make some educated guesses so I can make some pairings that will produce some...
