Colors included are White, Black, Partridge of 3 different shades, and Porcelain. All are busy, healthy, little fuzz balls and have to say- Bobbi Porto is the most personable, kind, knowledgable, and patient person I have met in a long time.
Update! I am not dead! I promise!! I have not been on for awhile, as we have been heaped on a lot by recent events here at our house.
So.....as rotten as it is- we discovered that our son as well as other children in his class were being physically, verbally abused in his classroom. We...
Help! Had 5 chicks kinda dumped on me...and they are dying one by one! Have never lost chicks in my previous batches, but these are going quick! Symptoms are lethargy, loose stool,(no blood) and then death! Appreciate any advice. Yes, under heat, and being fed chick starter...
@cmom: thank you for posting the farm swap info for these areas! I am SO going to at least one next month to look for brooder stuff ,incubators, maybe nest boxes.....lol. And whatever else I "need". Also nice to know I will have a place to take extra roo's and sell eggs, in future! Woot!! :D
Hi there! Update ! I have my official order in for 22 Silkie chicks ! And; I could not resist- she has Partridge Showgirls, so ordered 3 of those too! (Insert excited, manic giggle...) So got 3 whites, 3 blue, 3 black, 2 buff, 2 splash, 3 partridge, and 3 red also. I am accounting for extra...
Oh my gosh! Is there anything cuter than a Silkie chick? Lol! And yes! I will post pics of the chicks when I go pick them up in June from Bobbi. If I can figure out how to get them from my gallery on I pad to this site that is!! Lol!
Jillian12: I have chicks on order for around June 1st from Bobbi Porto. I CANNOT WAIT!!! I am getting about three of each color she has, and a trio of Partridge Showgirl chicks! I am truly getting antsy about it! Have not had chicks in forever it seems!
I just searched for a site, as I had never heard of these designer colors and was interested. I had no luck though. Sorry. OFCOURSE Lavendar, Porcelain and black are usual, but not heard of the others before you! Sweet looking babies though. Congrats! Let us know if you find out.
Five is black, three and six porcelain maybe? One lavendar, two blue cream, four splash maybe? Hard to tell and I am not a expert on any colors, never mind the fancier ones! Lol! But this is my guess! Sorry. Maybe look at Glenn Sees website?
From what I understand, Silkies are leary of elevated places due to their lack of flying ability. They also do not roost as most chickens do, and so far, the breeders I have spoken to, and viewed their coops online do not place roosts in their coops or runs for that reason. Ground nesters...
Too cute to boot, whether roo's or not, whether pure blood or not! Great pets either way! Congrats on your new babies! Can't wait till ours come in June!!
