Turtle.....congrats on the the new birds. I am a BIG fan of Marge Best. I am sure if you have any questions about what to expect, she can answer them. That lady know SO much about silkies.I could spend hours listening to her Enjoy your birds from Karen & Marge....I know I do.
Sherry,it was fun to watch that day! And she was a beautiful example of a SQ sizzles . That auction got Sherri some well deserved attention on the work she has put into that variety. Here in California we have gotten to see her progress.Maybe you could post a picture of the splash you sold. She...
who can....Sherri wasn't even the one who sold it. Some else hatched it from her eggs and put it up for auction. She sell her sizzle eggs for $45 a doz plus shipping
Luckly for people wanting to get thier hands on a good example of a show quality sizzles. Sherri does sell hatching eggs. A SQ pullet that was hatched from her eggs last fall,just sold for $225 on a FB poultry bid site.She had very good examples for sizzles at the ABA Western national in...
depends on how typey you want them.....the best example of a SQ sizzle I have seen is from Sherri Minkner in Ca.....some of hers are 13 generations sizzle
They are young,still have a ton of pin feathers. I find a nice wash and blow dry makes all the difference.I try to clean up all those shafts especially before a show. Helps speed up the clock a little bit when I am on the fence about a bird.
I do.....I usually will track daily of temp/humd.....for my reference on shipped eggs. It helps me understand if there was a factor on my end if a shipped set do not hatch or have defects on chicks.My bator is pretty right on temp/humdity wise....but in the summer when it was really HOT.There...
Both pretty boys and young....give them a little more time.....If the black is a true black from an all Black pen.....I would keep him,it is getting harder and harder to find true black with all the BBS pens and paint /black breeding going on.
Just got back from The ABA national in Stockton Ca....Western Silkie National Show................My daughter Brooke got Res of breed with a pullet just turning 6 months from Catdance. Love Karen's stock.Just imagine how stunning she will be in 2 more months.
lol.... not sprayed at all.....this is a porcelain from Catdance she was 4 months in the last picture......the crest is a beautiful silver.....her body shimmers pinkish.....I named her pearl because that is exactly what she looks like....everytime she walks you see different colors........I...
Thank You for sharing....your white? Is actually a PAINT which that color is hard to get.If you are looking for eggs to hatch,there are some very good breeders here who are kind enough to sell very good quality hatching eggs here on BYC .Mbrobbins and Catdance have nice stock. And 6 months is...
I should have known ..I have 20 of Karen's birds and another 14 hatching right now. My daughter is showing 5 of her brds including a partridge this weekend in Victorville . It is raining here in Riverside this morning....looks like we will be doing some serious blow drying today after they get...
OK everybody ...this is one of those RARE opportunities. Premier Poultry Fancier/Breeder Sheryl Butler from Bothell Wa. Is down sizing a large number of her flock of SQ white &buff silkies,SQ white and buff showgirls, SQ Bantam Cochins in many colors and Mille Fluer U'ddle. She will ship AND she...
