Hi,
I am looking to extend my flock of Silkies....I need more hens or pullets but I can take my chances with younger birds and grow them out.
I live in the Wichita area but am able to travel if needed.

the punctures were on the sides of the body below the wings..as big around as a pencil.They look like they were grabbed and shook and my alpha cockerel was probably trying to defend his flock and got torn up for it.
Hi all,

Hi All..
I found the Kansas group a little while ago.
I have 3 Silkies and finally got to getting some pics of them.
