    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.

    Splash is a recognized color. I don't know why it did not have it. It may be a typo.

    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...

    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...
