    Madder Than A Wet Hen.....Funny Pic

    What happened to my perfectly puffy princess? We've been getting a lot of rain here and the yard is a mud pit, but my girls are taking it well.

    If you ever wondered if Silkies made good pets...

    "I know this is pretty silly but my daughter's Silkie chicken named Liza is spoiled and she used to ride in just a pet carrier, but now she likes to ride in a stroller" (btw, this was a quote dictated to me by my 6 yr old daughter who wanted me to post pictures of her fav chicken)

    Calling All Silkie Experts.......UPDATE

    I know Silkies are about the hardest chickens to determine the sex of before they're mature....but, I thought id give it a try. Here are my three 11-week old silkies. I am leaning toward thinking the two white ones are pullets, and the dark one (not sure what color to call it) is a cockeral. The...

    My Baby Silkies Go Outside for the first Time....

    We took our 3 silkies outside for the first time yesterday - it didn't take them very long to get the hang of it. Within 5 mins one of them had snagged a grasshopper and gulped it down! These little guys are especially spoiled as we hatched them ourselves on Aug 13.
