Black silkies

[ultasol]

I should also say I've only had silkies for two years. The best resources are other breeders, showing, and breed clubs. Join a breed club, go to shows, observe and talk to people.


On the black cock you want a critique on Muddy, that's not a good picture or a good angle for a critique.

unfortunately he passed away

I went out and there he was. he was first to the treats the night before

so now I'm roo shopping. here is one of my hens

Muddyhorse, so sorry to hear about your roo. It's amazing how attached we get to these beautiful creatures and what a shock it is to lose one suddenly. Be comforted that you gave him a good life while he was with you.

I have a bunch of blacks from Amy Piehl and one of my pullets won best of breed!

Here are a few of mine. The ONLY problem I have is there wings are a bit overshredded on some. Apparently its pretty good because the pullet that I thought didnt have the best wings beat some pretty good birds with what I thought were better wings. The roo I have from her is just gorgeous. No leakage and has great type and color.

I have a BUNCH more pictures of them now and when they were a bit younger too if you want!

I'm so sorry.

I've also had that happen recently. Roo's just fine one day and then they're dead the next?

Good luck finding a boy.

I hate that! My Amer roo didn't just drop dead but rooster shopping is hard! You can never find one as good as you had it seems like sometimes!

thought I would share one of my black silkies - I wondered if I would like the black feathering but once the hatched - I LOVE them!!!!
