Hey I was going to show you this link.
This is who I ordered my silkies from if you are interested in getting anymore.

She is only going to do 4 more orders at this price.

Check it out and see if you are interested. She has a website you can see her group.

We just put in a request, thanx for showing us that!!!!

As soon as we went to her site we were done! Typical chick-addicts huh?

 

[Spunky~Chick~Mom]

That is great!! I am glad!

I have 2 buff, 2 partridge, 1 cuckoo and 1 bsplash from her in the bator.

Glad to share!

Post some pics of your babies soon!

We have white and buffs on their way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bator is on and getting back up to temp and humidity, the other 2 are sooooooo spoiled, we have to hang our wedding picture in front of cage to stop them from chirping at night when we go to sleep...They lasted longer than we could take it! LOL

We named them Puff n' Stuff since they're inseparable...You call one, get both anyway, we may as well call both!

Sassy raises beautiful birds, we're very excited, thanks again for pointing her thread out to us!

New question!!

Thanks for all the info!

What is a dust bath?

 

[Spunky~Chick~Mom]

I am glad ya'll go to get in on Jen's deal. Great! I am starting day 5 on the bator>

I waited until almost 3 weeks on adding anything special for them. They are 30 days now and I still have put a dust box in there. But, I have watched them dustbath in the shavings. So , I put extra thick shavins in one or two spots for them. I have been debating if i should put one in there now.
