That is one beautiful chicken. I know there is a rare breed of chicken that has silkied feathers that looks like this but I can't remember the name. I would definitely hold on to her.
shadow rabbit10~ it sounds like it was she that laid the egg. There is a way to tell who is laying. Pick up your silkie and hold her in your arms. Take your right hand (or dominant hand) and with 2-3 fingers feel under her vent with the fingers facing towards the front of her body.(so yo would...
This is the truth! I have a really pretty hen and with several breedings have not gotten any babies that came close to her quality~but I haven't bred in any quantity.
So cute! It looks like she has barring on her wings a bit.
I have had these chicks for 2 weeks now. They have grown so much. They know that "the hand" brings mealworms. Still working on them getting used to being picked up and held. What color would you call each of them?

Look at...
Yup he is my yard silkie!~ Lucky he will molt soon and have some fresh feathers~
What cute cute chicks and mama is a great mama!!!~
:thumbsup That is a good point and what beautiful babies! What a nice assortment of colors!
take it or leave it> friends dont mix with business and vice versa :/ thats my experience
a lesser quality silkie can bring the quality down a lot of the nicer ones in their offspring>would take many generations to improve
Sorry I just stepped away from the computer and then went outside and was rounding up some wayward chickens. Took longer than I thought. destiny_56085 has a lot of photbucket pictures~ I am looking at them now Their in the loft album
Oh. OK. Where I get most of my silkies she has a big cow barn and some really nice pens and about 6 inches of shavings and a lot of sunshine. Really nice set up. Thats Amy Phiel she is on here sometimes. I really like her setup. :D
