I love that poof on the top one.. and the egyptian eye is neat too.

The bottom one is such a pretty color.

What color Silkie, and was it the mother or the father?

The father is a purebred white silkie rooster, mothers are easter eggers

I have a Rhode Island Red rooster he is so pretty. My hens are golden sexlinks, Americanas, Barren Rock, and dark cornish game hens. I also have a few mystery hens like the one in my avatar pic I have no clue what she is lol. I am really excited about the Americana and RIR mix hoping they will be beautiful hearty mixes . I def thought that I wasnt going to have so many make it this far (turning by hand and living at 8,200 feet in the dry CO air but I have been taking care of those eggs like crazy!!! keeping a close eye on the air cell and doing a ton of research lol.
