Quote: Thank you! This now raises a new question, yes, I know I'm full of them. You posted a link to a 1930's show, and Sonoran Silkies mentioned show winners from "30 years ago".... So my question is, why the references to such old shows? Did something change in recent times that we are...

Quote: Good thought, but it's not practical for my situation. While their run is large, their henhouse itself is not big enough to create a division, and with the brutal NH winters they all need to cuddle in the winter or he would surely freeze to death. And I'm certainly not getting another...

I was just thinking, you know how some people make those cloth "chicken saddles" to protect their feathers? Maybe I could make little tiny bonnets. Still hoping someone will have an answer to my most recent post though, a few of us are wondering about this Silkie-head-scalping-mating issue (see...

Quote: That's a great question that I don't know the answer to, hopefully someone else will know. I wonder the same thing. My roo, that scalped all the ones above, was also an "accidental" roo that I couldn't bear to part with. Now, I have NEVER seen him mating, but obviously I know he does...

Quote: Well, that's not nearly as bad of a review as I was expecting! On Rachel, by "penciling", do you mean the darker lines that run through her colors? She *normally* has a nice head poof (or crest, is it?)... very round and black and bigger than the rest. I see what you mean about them...

Okay, I was finally able to get some updated pics today, the only others I had were when they were younger and distant coop shots. They are One Year and One Month old as of yesterday. BIG DISCLAIMER: The Rooster has been scalping them in mating I assume. No sign of mites or anything, so I assume...

A general reply to a few different posts.... Yes, I did get them from a hatchery. I never had ANY intention of showing them and still don't, I'm only curious about the differences. I KNOW mine aren't show quality for sure. I just wanted bantams as pets so ordered a "featherfooted bantam...

**I added pics for those who asked. Forgive me if this has been asked or for my ignorance in general, I know nothing about showing chickens and I don't ever visit this section. I'm not planning to show my Silkies, as I'm sure they are NOT show quality. But I got thinking about it and...
