Buff Silkie Thread!

[mrslb333]

She has to be the prettiest chick I've seen the photo's really don't do justice. We have been hatching silkies for a while and only keeping the ones that are perfect but myself and the kids have fallen in love with her. I really hope she stay's pretty

Maybe She will have a columbian pattern? Isn't that common in buff silkies?

Once they can tell gender and quality, so probably in the fall. Im also getting some eggs from a breeder in Main in april, Im probably going to keep the best male and female from their.

I gotta figure out how im housing my buffs silkies, idk if im going to use a pen type set up for pairs and trios or a larger flock type set up.

How big would a pen type setup for a pair or trio be?

Thats what I want to know! One thing I worry about having then in pens is their foot feathering, I don't want it ruined. Also don't forget that buffs will fade in the sun so they should be kept out of direct sunlight, or have a cover over their pen.

chickendales, When i emailed them the other day they said she wont have any thing ready till the fall.​
