Debbie's Silkies

Beautiful birds! I want to thank you for the advice you gave me on treating my Silkie with wry neck. 400 units of Vitamin E daily and she's all better!

Thank you, and you are so welcome! So happy she's better now, and it's because of your great care!

This morning after a huge storm was supposedly bringing 6-12" of snow. We got 3-4".

These nine out in their growout pen chose to leave their warm shed and pile up together in the corner. Hubby was over by the coops so I made them a path to come out.

They were out, but I got in trouble. He wants to plow, so put them all back in again so he doesn't have to watch for chickens. Smart move!

They're a bit confused I suppose, but soon they can come out further.

What color is this Silkie mix? He also had some very light barring on his feathers.

Since it's a mix I can't be sure, but if it were a silkie, that'd be a cuckoo as that's the only barring a pure silkie can have.

This is a pure silkie, lemon, but has cuckoo silkie in him. The one way in the back is a cuckoo.
