Todays haul

I am chart with my ladies explaining it’s still winter, slow up it’s not a race.

They told me they wanted to lay now before it got too hot to sit in a stuffy nest box.

Awwww to be a cat and sleep like that….

 

[Ponypoor]

I have plans and goals this year with the silkies. Looking at both boys in the daylight I am tweaking them in my head. Connecting to Russ's stall a pen is going to be built. Originally I was going to house all 7 girls in it with both boys. Now I want it split down the middle. The divider does not need to be super tall, just tall enough that they cannot hop or fly over it. I want the 2 black pullets and Poppet in with Davy. Barbosa I want to put in with the 2 partridge pullets and the 2 black pullets with gold leakage.

George will get to keep all of the other girls as his and his alone. They have accepted him as their flock rooster now.

Good plan

I cannot wait to see little fuzz ball babies running around

 

[Ponypoor]

I've made enough progress with the boys that it is time to do formal introductions.

Formally introducing Davy Jones....

Davy is the more confident of the two. He is a little bigger as well. Fully mature I am going to say he will be about the size Branch was. I love those feet of his, the heavy feathering. All my girls have feathered feet, some lightly feathered though so he will definitely help them in that department. Yes his wattles are mulberry colored. They are not as bright in person, the flash makes them appear more red. It's ok though, that comb is still nice and black so I will forgive it.

Now, having him outside in the daylight I have to wonder. I do not think he is a black silkie. I fully believe he is a blue boy. On the darker side of blue but blue instead of black. If he is I have hit the jackpot with him. If I crossed him on my 2 solid black girls half their chicks should be blue and half black. If I kept a blue daughter and crossed back to him I have a chance for splash silkies. If I crossed him with Poppet instead of the black/gold color chicks she threw with Branch I can get more chicks of Poppets coloring.

I was going I say he is rather light for a black.

I love both of them - you lucked out I feel!
