    The color porcelain?

    I intend to do my best to drop the discription of porcelain from silkies period. They are not a true porcelain as discribed. No two look the same. I intend on a new name for such or, better still no color distiction in silkies. It is I tall order and I will probably devote most of my life to it...

    Quote: No difference in the standard for lavender in silkies than in other colours (APA & ABA call it self-blue). I spoke with George Mihalik (porcelain silkie creator) a couple of weeks ago and he agreed that the porcelains need to have mottle bred into them so that they conform to the true...

    Quote: Blue or green eggs mean Easter egger chickens. But they could still have silkie traits like beards or crests, Black Skin or 5 toes. Rarely fur like feathers like a true Silkie. It is a pet project of mine to create a silkie that lays such colored eggs. Maybe some has beat me to it! Oops...

As for silkie feathering.... so far non existant. I do have a much older one (older than the other EE pullets...

    If I had my way and enough room they would live in the house with me all the time. (sometimes some do just that) Honestly I keep mine in tractors as much as I can. I also try to keep them dry as I can. In the summer I try give them lots of shade so they don't get to hot. I think they love the...

    Quote: Thanks April! The chick you mentioned looks nothing like either of my "porcelains" did when they were that age. all of mine have had strips of one form or the other. Despite what you may have read from the hopefuls, phenotype has not been fully achieved ( the way they should look). In...

    Thanks Brody!!! I checked it out and I think fattie has a porcelain. Despite the caution of some others and I do know why they are cautioning. The only way to know better would be to have the bird in my hands. My question to you would be as you read that post did you get lost a bit? Some times I...

    I have some of bobbies chickens myself. My best partridge Roo came from them. I don't post many pics of him because I am not sure of what the stupid apa standard for his coloring is but in my eyes he is beautful!! He always wants to be close to me but he doesn't like to be picked up. I have a...
