    These hatched yesterday. They are three different colors. The moms are all Easter Eggers and came from green eggs. Dad was a big mean purebred Barred Rock. Of COURSE the one with the stripe (Stripe be thy name) is the leader and first born.

    Can I use Baby products as Silkie head poof gel?

    My Silkie biddies are getting nice head poofs. I was wanting to find some sort of non-irritating product to use as mousse to help them see. I was thinking of baby lotion or baby sunblock. Not sure right now. Any ideas on something that would not irritate their eyes AND not collect alot of dirt?
