    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I love her! But I work with a lot of colors in that scheme, black and white. I actually like satins quote a bit too.

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    That's unfortunate. I really prefer the look of it. Is it a DQ on all colors?

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Has anyone here worked on a project variety of silkies/satins here? Especially ones where another breed had to be bred in to accomplish the project color goal? If so I would love to hear about it and see pictures! Things like what traits you had to work against and how easy/difficult they were...

    What is blue Cream genetically? And do you have an example of what it looks like at maturity?

    Correct but wouldn't buff be on a partridge base to begin with? Or are they gold Wheaton?

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I'm actually working on this project right now. True Porcelain silkies. I'm starting with "satins" of course to make sure the pattern is right before I take the line back to silkied. Will be doing frizzle in there too. Quite excited to get Hatching on this one actually! But shouldn't "blue...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Just hatched this little one and was curious about the color/pattern. Not sure if you can really see it but she has a buff/red hue to her and has what looks like a faint chipmunk pattern on the back/head/face. Can anyone tell me anything about the genetics of this chick and what any of it...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    That definitely makes sense with the different climate birds though that they would have more/less quills (don't know if I'm spelling that right?) depending on whether they were a hot/cold bird. I imagine leghorn/Minorca/Andalusians would have much further spread quills And something like an...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I de I definitely wasn't talking about non feathered/naked birds when I said "don't all chickens have the same amount of feathers" that would be ridiculous. What I meant was across a feathered chickens body, I bet if we counted the actual quiles on a silkie feathered silkie and a smooth...

    Do all chickens not have the same amount of feathers?

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Re-reading what I said originally I should of said the inbreeding CAN bring to the surface problems already there. If you already have really great lines then it can make it better. There are two side to that coin. But what I was saying was that I don't think enough people realize because of the...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Interesting.... So far my hybrids have been pretty healthy birds, but not all of them. I have some purebreds I would put in that category as well. My cinnamon queens seems more resistant to some things and lay very well but they also seem to have more reproductive issues and don't live as...

    Interesting that you mentioned Marans though, because I didn't already but they actually are a breed I've had problems with too 🤔

    Curious where this information is coming from? Is this your personal experience? Can you expand on it if so? If not experience then what or who are you referencing? Just curious....

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    From what I understand about inbreeding, it doesn't cause problems, it brings to the surface problems that were already lurking in the background. Problem is when most people get to that point they freak and turn around immediately bringing in new bloodlines, which can bring in a whole host of...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I figured what I was seeing may have been the result of hybrid vigor. I am not sure how far back the cross went for the satins I purchased though so honestly I will never know. And it could have been just this one time here this year and next year the show girls are the ones that seem the...
