2 year old buff silkie hen. Wingband #226. Absolutely gorgeous bird for body type and is round as a bowling ball. She has some serious mass to her when you lift her. Some of the best I've seen for wing placement. No hard feathering in cushion, huge crest (majorly picked from being in breeder pen), good toe spacing, massive foot feathering (which is also mostly broken off right now), awesome comb shape, black skin which is very hard to get in buffs..... I don't consider her a show bird, but she is VERY usefull in the breeder pen. She is missing the toenails on 1st toes. She also has smutty coloration in wing primaries, cushion, and faint ticking in the hackles. She has been a very consistent layer and has produced several awesome clear buffs when paired with a lighter cock.

Shipping and a new Horizon box will be a set $65 with a new Horizon box. If you win more of my auctions, I can combine shipping. I accept Paypal, check, or MO. I will ship after payment is received and weather is permissible on both ends. I am NPIP #1058, MN Hatchery Permit #10504 and am tested for PT only. AI testing is not required here in MN. If your state requires additional testing or a CVI, then we can work something out. I don't vaccinate for Mareks, Coryza, etc. I do use Frontline & Ivermectin on my birds though. Birds will be bathed and beaks/nails clipped before shipping.

Thanks! She's one of the older girls. I have a few pullets out of these girls that are totally clear and outstanding type as well. They will be going into the breeding pen when they get a bit older. Right now though I have no one looking for buff chicks and incubator is pretty much full. I moved a few groups of the young stock from my garage brooder out to the barn. I've got ALOT of birds out there again and they are all gorgeous it seems like. I'm starting to go through birds that I'm willing to part with now. There are a few more i know will be up for sale too but they are either just starting to feather out or in the middle of a molt on older birds.
 
I know,.. all the black and white girls I want to part with are molting. The cockerels were being pretty nice to each other until about a week before nationals, and now they are looking crapola. C'est la vie.
