my 4 silkies

In 2013 ,my husband and I went to an auction so he could buy some laying hens. I saw a black with white speckles, banty hen with 4 baby chicks and fell in love with them! Since it happened to be my birthday on that day,he bought them for me,plus another red banty cochin with 5 baby chicks! That was my beginning of keeping chickens! I still have a rooster that was one of the original baby chicks. I also have several large hens for their eggs,6 Buff Orpington,4 Blue Cochin,4 Ameraucana, 1 Mauve Orpington, and I can't forget my white leghorn/silkie cross. I also have several silkies of different colors, the rooster was killed last summer by a hawk. My husband passed in August of 2014. I decided to keep all the chickens we bought that day,just because! I am very glad I did.
