[Silkie Princess]

Thanks! She’s a Cochin x silkie I think…. she has five toes but i think most Cochins do as well.

She’s a Satin Silkie

Ohh so that’s where Bob gets her patterns… but she has no Afro, the lady who gave her to me said she was a Cochin x silkie but thanks!! I don’t think she knew much about chickens

What about the mulberry comb tho?

I did have a silkie with a red face and single comb. He was cute.

Yea she does… but Fluffy may be satin x Cochin since she isn’t as “poofy” as normal Cochins.

That's what I was thinking. She would've inherited the red and slightly straight comb from the cochin, and the satin fluff from the silkie.
Either way, she's adorbz.

Thanks! Her looks make up for her personality she’s so mean and loves to peck at your face. She’s was a house chicken before I got her and she’s always begging at my door to come inside like a wet puppy

Oh, hey, I've got chicks hatching today, too!

TWINS! I hope more hatch……. He’s just been peeping away and I’m contemplating taking him out and blow drying him dry I do need to Line the wall with moist paper towels to get the humidity up, i like having it at 65% or more just to be safe
