Ilove the silkie baby pics, I ended up with sizzles and it's my first time with a foofoo breed. I have one silkie feathered one, four sizzles -omg that's silly, and two smooth feathered. But MOST of them are now getting topknots, some are bearded and tufted and some just tufts and poofs and it's all just too funny for words. These are also my first feather foots and I'm so in love with feather feet I almost can't stand it.

These are mostly BBS with one hold out gray partridge who's speckled. That one is going to be interesting all the way from hatch to mature feathers I can tell.

Thanks for all the pics, more pics as they grow please!!!!

I have never had a broody that made it all the way to the end. I think that your pictures are great with the momma and babies, someday....

I can't believe how strange black chick skin looks!

This is my first time seeing a Silkie and their skin is so weird (and cute).

The black one is especially strange - everything on it is black, eyes,beak, feet, fuzz, toe nails.
Lavender seems to love picking shavings off of the black chick.
