You hatched more than I did , I have a dozen from Catdance three were Buff 2 are cockerels 1 pullet nice color,only one of Sundown Buffs hatched very smutty and I think it is also a he very sweet will make a nice pet it is currently growing out in my extra rooster group. I have a nice black pair, 2 splash pullets & 2 blue Cockerels, 2 Partridge Cockerels, and a single white pullet.

This is my little smutty guy he has the most unbelievable feathering on his feet that I have ever seen.There is a grey underfluff do you think this will go away as he matures I have included some pictures of him as a chick.

 

[kfchickenlady]

Muzzie, those are some nice birds! I know with the silkies, they can really change with each molt, so maybe you can wait and see what happens. It looks like he has changed a lot already from the feathering in picture. I have a super black cockerel from Catdance and 3 black hens from other breeders so that was exciting, esp since I only got one black egg from an order of 48!!
I dont have any good pics other than the babies I posted earlier, but will have to do that one of these days.

Can I join?

This is my first year with buffs, and I'm madly in love with them. As for name dropping...if I sell a bird that's not from my own line that I've been working on for a while, I always tell my customers what the bird's lineage is. I won't take the credit for someone else's work, be it good or bad.

Here's one my my young cockerels that I'll be using in the spring. He's got a fault that I'll have to work out, but all of his other qualities seem to be up to standard...and he's my favorite and I just can't part with him.

 

[kfchickenlady]

Pretty!!! I have a very dark buff roo that I will be using that has a reddish comb, but he is what I have, and he may produce better than himself on lighter hens. Welcome to the Buff side...
