About 2 weeks ago I had 78 chirping chicks arrive from Townline hatchery. This is my 3rd batch of chicks from them this year and I only lost 2 chicks in my first two batches. I realize we are running a little later in the year and thus colder but I was optimistic I would do fine. Oh how I have...
I have black sex links but none of them have dark legs, i dont think, *runs out to look at legs* Oh yes, they do haev dark legs LOL! and your bird could easily pass as a black sex link. Yours has a slightly bigger comb than mine though but same markings (my BSL have markings all over the place...
If i am remmebering correctly- marans have white legs whereas barred tend to have yellow legs. (my barred pullets are yellow legged) i am not sure if its white with some darkness in front- someone else will have to chime in
my silkies from Ideal are 2 weeks old right now. you can see some of their pictures under my thread under the forum where people ask about Gender/Breed. They are alright so far but I didn't get the colors I wanted (wanted blue, gray, red and buff... i MIGHT have buff but i got a bunch of...

even if mine ended up the same color as your "reds" i would be happy. I just don't want partridge. now your partridge looks more like what i would expect a gray silkie (hatchery quality) to look like. I actually like it.
or rather i can be oriental for the day and have some silkie soup... i posted white silkies on craigslist and not a single person has shown interest in the 2 weeks the have been on there. Ah well... live and learn
well... i guess I better find a private breeder then and just sell these ones off when they get fully feathered out. I jumped at their $1 each sale hoping i would end up with some colors i wanted. I don't have high amounts of money to be spending on the really really really beautiful ones so i...
On the comment section when I ordered i said i wanted anything other than white, black and partridge if they could please do that... (it was an assortment and thus i figured it was a long shot) but i think they got me backwards and thought i was requesting them *sighs* I am still holding out...
They are from Ideal Hatchery- about 2 weeks old. I know the black ones and I assume the white ones are white... but i am not sure on the other ones. I had two that i thought were buff and those ones died last week. I am thinking that perhaps these are red silkies? and one on the right is a...
I am not familiar witht he breed to comment on it other than its tail looks like a pullet. The comb looks a bit big but that again, it might be normal that this breed for a pullet. I am used to breeds with smaller combs on hens. BUT on the topic of cockerals crowing- i just butchered two...
