    It might be the photo, but this one looks blue also. Deb

    The cockerel I was asking about (around 1,000 posts ago) got RV partridge at the Silkie National meet yesterday Deb

    So that's the consensus, cockerel? Is the color a give away too? The vibrancy of the reddish?

    Gray is a variety of silkie, as is blue. Deb

    Silkie thread!

    I was thinking I had a pullet until I took a closer look at the comb. The hatchmates have combs 2-3 times larger, but I still think boy, right? No head streamers, but seem to have neck streamers. I am a silkie novice. Deb

    The side of the egg I photographed only had a few dirt spots. The bottom half was the side embedded in the muck. So it truly had a greenish hue to the shell. I did put it in the incubator, so we'll see if I wiped it out in the water in about five days or so. It was the first egg this color...

    That's what I was banking on. All my other splash breeds are that creamy color too. Not that I wouldn't like splash silkies, but since I have quite a few blues, I'm assuming splash (and black) are in my future. Deb

    Well, I did half "dig" it half out of the muck, LOL. But if you meant to say duck, I have no ducks and my runs all have fall roofs over them. Deb

    Silkie thread!

    I found what was to me the strangest thing in my silkie/SG pen. I was just wondering if anyone has had this. This egg is absolutely green cast. It has to be from the silkies. The eggs are sitting on top of a white index card and they are L to R, a white egg from my campine, typical silkie...

    I thought I'd share my two paint babies. They're about seven weeks old and just got moved to a growout pen in the shed. I just hatched out six more paints, four of them SG's. I just love the spots! Deb
