Fourth generation hatched! First offspring of my Catdance Buff/Lav boy Targ and first chicks by my cockerel Poi Boy. Twelve healthy babies. A few black's from my Marg Best male too. It was a good hatch all around. ~

Thank you chickee. The grow outs are nearing three months. Some of them are promising. ~

The grow out's in the Blue Cream pens.

I have three Blue Cream chicks growing out from Catdance eggs. The babies are little dolls at 10 weeks old.

This is Jewel and mother to many of the third generation Blue Cream chicks. Also Cocoa. ~ I have started only hatching eggs from hens. No more pullet eggs. Jewel and Cocoa were hatched July 29 2014. Their chicks have been my favorites so far. The problem is the mess of genetics these two are...

Thank you chickee. I'm happy to know someone is following along on this project. I know how you feel about juggling the buff and lavender. I am still working it. Hope I live long enough to see it. This particular chick is looking more like her mom every day but better. I'm thinking female...

Yes I do breed and sell. No chicks. Adults only. You can pm me for details.

Regular feathers are barbed. Those barbs allow regular feathers to hold together and primary wing feathers gain air loft for flight. Silkie feathers are barbless. The barbless flight feathers will not allow the silkie the ability of flight or the ability to shed water. In my experience the...

This past years Porcelain project chicks have been all over the place color wise but type is making huge improvements. This grow out chick is an example. The color is splashy but I love the type. I may need to put these chicks in their own project.

New grow out pic's of a few of my current favorite kids. Photo bomb by a squashy face baby. I love the new white grow outs. ~ Buff is new in my pens. Loving these two little ones. Even with squash face. ~ One of the Porcelain kids working on their second squash...

I break two average silkie eggs into a glass measuring cup and compare volume against a normal large egg and go from there.

Buff silkies are new to me this year. A precious few have hatched and they range in shade at day old from dark to almost partridge to vey light as almost white. When the primary wing feathers and breast feathers start to come in I can easily pick them out of a crowd. ~ These chicks were...

The kabocha is not a winter keeper with a thin rind and softer flesh so I feed it first before they turn to a gooey mess. Acorn squash is very tough and will last in a dark cool dry place for the winter. I have to use an ax to break those up. I have one pumpkin left that is starting to go so...

Thank you Aria. Pumpkin and squash with seeds are an excellent food for chickens as a natural wormer and source of nutrition and extra fluids. Some poultry take to it (pumpkin and squash) right away like my chicks though the seeds are too large for them unless they are dried and ground. I...

@Fizzybelle A very pretty Gray. That is an accepted color in American silkies.

My Fall hatched babies enjoying a game of King of the Squash. The White chicks are from Geri Godina shipped eggs, The Buffs are from Bobbi Porto hatching eggs, The rest are from my Porcelain project program. I gave them a kabocha squash from the garden, pulled up a stool and enjoyed the show...

Getting pens ready for the upcoming new breeding season. The new boy gets his chance to put his mark on my Blue Cream project. Targ is from a Buff/Lav pen from Catdance Farm. He's a doll.

Picture day for the new blood Porcelain chick from Karen Larson of Catdance. Such a showy baby!

Next hatch and last hatch for 2015 is from the Buff x Self Blue pair. These three chicks are a sample. No two look alike. Interesting. The best of the hatch will go into the program. ~
