I plan to =) I breed silkies, sizzles, and showgirls. My Sizzles are still in their early generations but I hope to get some show birds in the next generation =)
Thanks guys =D Yes Rachel good memory! Icelynn is her mother, she's doing well, still has that calcified egg in her abdomen and looks pretty ragged but still well =) Here she is on the same day I took those pictures of Jingle
and here are a few others I have, Everyone is in their awful...
Baby Jingle is growing up! Gave her a bath today and snapped some pictures. Any critiques? We already went over the tail feathers looking stiff, but figured that might be because I haven't properly "primped" her, and she also has a lot of waxy feathers.
Sonoran is this a good example? Jingle and Jangle when they were hatchlings, blue and black. Jangle had the white on her belly, beard, and wing tips but feathered out jet black. Unfortunately she passed away over this winter =( Jingle is still alive and has turned out a really pretty blue, she...
Yes along with a lot of other technical details LOL Though I have come to find out recently Silkie Standards vary GREATLY continent to continent! I have friends in the UK who have show winning silkies that we here in the USA would call pet or hatchery quality! But it's how they are bred. We...
I'm honestly not sure I had 3 roosters at the time, a birchen sizzle, a black hatchery non-bearded, and a white bearded catdance. I didn't think my white was smart enough to breed lol, but I caught him mating with one of my sizzle hens the other day so it's possible. The hen is Icelynn my blue...
This thread needs an awakening! Jingle and Jangle got baths tonight so I took a few pictures for critiquing and gender guesses They are 11 weeks old now! Man does time fly! I'm really excited about Jangle, to me she looks VERY promising, what does everyone else think? Also, what do you think...
yeah you can blowdry her. They enjoy it. Any foreign body in the eye can cause an infection. I would rinse out the eye with a gentle saline eye wash and if it is goopy again tomorrow put terramycin or neo-poly-mycin eye ointment in it twice a day for 5 days to a week
I commented on your post on the other thread, but I just noticed your in africa. I don't know as much about the large fowl silkies and if their standard is different, but If I was to compare them to bantams I would say they are pet quality, the female doesn't have feathers on her feet and an...
Okay if you don't mind, I would love some HONEST critiques of my two babies haha every time I ask all people have to say is "so cute!" and "beautiful babies" LOL I appreciate the love but I do want some good honest critiques as well. So I gave them baths and took some pictures. Pay no attenton...
