    Yes, thank you. This makes me very happy because I think the black one is beautiful. I need to work on my EE sexing skills-or totally lack there of. Hopefully, I'll get better with more experience. I am grateful to you experienced folks more than you'll ever know. And so thankful for BYC!

    I have two beautiful little guys I need to re-home in central Ohio. One white and one partridge silkie. They are 8 weeks old, and adorable. They are wonderful foragers.
