I know I havent been her for a while but over 1200 posts since the last time!!!!!!
I cant believe it has been that long. Now i have to do tons of catch up to see what is going on. We have been busy with a few house projects , ugh.. Just got a few new chickens in the mail yesterday and I have chicks growing up and some in the incubator That is what is going on here right now. We are enjoying the good weather and trying to take advantage of the dry days when we can. I lost my Black Silkie Rooster and dont have a back up boy so had a couple young cockerels shipped to me along with a hen and one that is hopefully a pullet
I love this Northern Ca thread but have a hard time keeping up so I read a lot when i can and dont respond as much as I would like to but want to say that i love reading about your flocks and seeing the pictures. Since I only have Silkies this is where I get to see all the other beautiful breeds I spend a lot of time talking myself out of
Awwww, I am just drooling over the cuteness here. I have recently fallen for the partridge color - its so different. So many subtle colors in there! I have two blue girls and a black/red partridge rooster.. so in a couple of generations I should have blue partridge - I hope.
I bought 6+ for 15 dollars and shipping and got a message saying that she had 7 because she only got one egg on the last day. She asked me if I wanted to wait a day and have whatever they laid added to the shipment. God was good to me an all three laid and egg on the extra day! I have 10 in the bator on day 6 and they all have something going on in them!
CONGRATULATIONS! I hope they all hatch. Please post pictures of your chicks. That's very cool that they are "experimental blue egg layers". Are they a hybrid of two other breeds? What do the parents look like?
They are a breed from a project at the University of Arkansas by Dr. Bramwells friend. Until recently, they were available for local pickup mostly for 4-H projects.
He is a showgirl.................not a SQ, not even a BQ.....................but he's a very sweet boy and would make a nice pet. He has a face that needs a mother to love it. He popped out of some shipped eggs that I bought.
yes. he is unusual looking in his eyes skin color etc. It is a silkie that gets a naked necked gene from turkens. All else is silkie if its working properly.

Wow, what a HUGE compliment there. Thank you to both of you! I love them dearly. I'm super excited with the current year's breeding. I'll be growing out a lot of birds this year.
