Nice big coop and a great bunch of images! We owned a white silkie for seven years they sure are great birds!

I nominate those close ups for pic of the week. If that doesn't capture the love of chickens, I don't know what does.

Looks like you have a great place and well loved chickies.

Okay newbie question, are these standards or bantys and is their name just Silkies or something different. They are very very cute and the coop looks so cozy.

Coloradochicken: The name of the breed is "Silkies" and in the U.S. they are considered bantams although they are really in between that and standard. I have read that in Europe they have both true bantam and standard size Silkies.
Here is a link to feathersite.com and their section on Silkies:

Not long till you'll be enlarging that cute coop - to accomodate the cute kids..... (unless they can squeeze in there already!)

Well, his son was dying to take a few babies and I'm trying to push a cockerel on him, so I think we can probably count on an expansion in the future

LOL!
