    She def looks blue to me :) Congrats!! They are such tiny sweet babies -- I like that they grow so much slower than other breeds, leaves more time for cuddling..lol..of course I dont think that a Silkie every grows out of cuddling, at least mine havent and my oldest turned a year in March..

    Its crazy how much slower the Silkies grow isnt it? I have 2 older Silkies that are still inside ( I am a bit over protective..lol) but all of the babies over a week old get to go ut to the 'playpen' during the day(if its nice) --the pen is about 20x 40 so they are free ranging in their mind-- I...

    Very welcome-- I know that Petco, Tractor Supply and pretty much any store that deals with either farm animals or pets carry it..I think its only about 2$ a roll--cheaper online but higher if you count shipping-- there is a blog--think its called the chicken chick or something like that--she has...

    My splash was white until about a month old..but "she" does look almost identical to what my splash looked like when she was older..were both parents blue?? If not she may be a paint? Splash only results from a blue x blue

    No, I dont think that it will correct itself--do youknow what VetWrap is?? I think that they sell it for people too, but not sure wat that version is called..It is a roll of material that only sticks to itself, --get a roll of it and cut 2 very thin strips, wrap those one strip around each leg...

    If it were me, I would make sure the roo you put on her has a PERFECT comb and see how those babies turn out--you can always sell the first batch as PQ, just make sure you sell to someone that will keep in touch and let you know what their combs turn out like if you dont want to keep them all to...

    I think that the lighting makes her neck/chest look more 'red' in the pic then it is in person..this pic was taken at dusk with a not so good camera..

    No I guess not 100%..I am just going based on what the woman that I got her form said--she had her and 5 roos that were all identical and said that she had had a very hard time finding the buffs and hated to sell them but was getting out of chickens all together.. She is pretty even colored...
