I have decided I do not have time to be involved in Fantails. So I am selling a group of 5 very nice birds. 2 pairs and a single hen. They are very nice quality and from 2 very noted breeders. Please email me for more info. I will ship them. Thanks.

Know where I can find the Standard for Showgirls? My questions are mainly about feathering(where it is)I know they are under the Silkie Standard. And does anyone know who is focusing on them, breeding nice quality? My first set of chicks are now 2 months and I need advice on what to keep. Thanks

I spent the fall and winter collecting a nice group of Silkies. I have come to the realization that I do not have the time I wanted to put into them as I have other show animals. I am selling out of all of my Silkies. I am selling them as a group only at this point. And because of the amount...

I set 18 showgirl eggs on Saturday. Yesterday morning(Day 3)when I turned them in the AM I must have hit the power surge switch with the lid and shut it down. When I got home at 5 to turn I had eggs that were 65 degrees for 9 hours. Should I pitch them, or do you think they have a chance? Thanks

My how they've grown. It's funny when you look at them in the brooder and then you take a pic and they are a different sex than you thought. Let's hear your input on sex and quality. They are 8 weeks old. My guess, 1, 2, 3 pullet, 4 roo. Thanks-

Thanks to hinkjc, I got the idea to get my Silkie chicks out of the house and into the garage. My garage is very cold(MI), and after reading her post I saw the boxes she had built. Last weekend while gathering supplies to build I came upon this transport crate that was at our farm when we...

Sorry in advance if this a dumb question... Do you cross bearded and non-bearded Silkies? Is it best to keep them seperate so you do not down-breed beard fluff and/or quality? Or is this not an issue? Thanks-

They arrived today at work. Got them immediately from the postman. They were mailed on Monday. I haven't opened box yet, thought I should wait to get home. How long do I let them sit before I start incubating? Going home at 5. They are sealed at room temp right now.
