This is a gorgeous bird!

Thank you. I'm enjoying my polish. They are goody birds.

Mine always got taken by hawks bc they couldn’t see them coming from above

I used to free range some, and kept them trimmed and they did okay until the fox. These will stay in a run because I don't want to lose them.

Did you photoshop that? (I doubt the chick would remain still long enough for you to put that there - and I bet if you pinned it there it would hurt!) But he's really cute

Me no, but my sister did it lol. He's called Riker cause it was 'chickie number 1' as I talked to them and turned the eggs lol.

Those chickens are beautiful. How do you think one bred with a white silkie would look?

Honestly probably not well lol
Barnies are a mid size breed, and I’m sure silkies are small size breeds
