    Any other hawaiians out there?

    I emailed people that were NPIP certified and selling silkie hatching eggs on ebay and wherever else I could find online. One person finally agreed to go through the trouble of getting an import permit for me from the Hawaii Dept of Agriculture. They charged extra for the permit and effort...

    Yes - no breeding. I can’t keep any roosters. Hoping for hens! Thanks for the info!

    WAH. I think you're right about #1 since I saw it chest bumping the others yesterday. I also heard a weird sound that could have been an attempt at a crow. Hopefully the others are female even though they did have the chipmunk striping (#3 and #4)when they hatched.

    Hi Slike! I just saw 3 black silkie hens at Kaneohe Farm Supply this weekend. I'm not sure if they are bearded though. I'm kind of in the reverse situation as you as I was looking for white bearded silkies with big fluffy crests but just hatched four partridge chicks two weeks ago from...

    Silkie thread!

    Hi! I'm a chicken newbie and just hatched these guys about a week and a half ago. The breeder told me they are light partridge but I've also seen pictures of chicks identified as blue partridges that seem to have the same coloring. The three babies on the top have chipmunk stripes but the...
