    Self Blue (Lavender) Silkie Thread

    I LOVE to swap eggs ** Anyone want to trade??

    Thanks! No, I don't have an all black group yet - would like to, though. My problem has been finding/growing out a SQ black roo. I am growing out a cockerel now that shows promise. This past summer I used a nice dark blue cockerel with my black hens to make more blacks - miraculously I got...
