We are all surviving here thank goodness...

JJ...here are the male versions of those beautiful little crosses

This is Raven...he is the result of a Mille d'Anver over the lavender cochin hen
This is my beautiful boy Beau...he is the result of a porcelain d'Anver over a lavender cochin hen
They are absolutely the most wonderful little boys...the feathers are much softer on the legs and feet than the d'Uccle feathering.
I am going to keep raising them and see what happens down the line...I have 2 pair of the Lavender and a pair of the black splits plus now a little black split boy named Batman that is adorable.

Glad to hear things are going OK. And I kinda like the black one.

That is hilarious in a freakish sort of way.

Silkies! No Way is right. Pyncheons!!!

Whew! I was really beginning to worry about you there for a moment, JJ.

Silkies Rock! You two just do not appreciate a good Pouf!

 

[speckledhen]

It's not so much the pouf as it is those freaky feathers. You know I had three marvelous hens with modified and dignified mini-poufs whose daddy was a Silkie/Cochin cross. Their BR side tamed that down, though, thankfully. Best little hens ever.

I agree, spray them with alittle Pledge and they make great cage cleaners.

Bwahahahaha! Sounds like my DH's use for a cat.... garbage disposal cleaner.

OMG JJ you are a meanie. Very very bad. I am shocked at you both. *Snicker*
