If she weren't a silkie, I'd say she's going to be Colombian marked. All my splash chicks were 100% fluffy yellow, no grey tones. The yellow/grey blend always got more color.

I think we're going to have to wait and see for this one. And it's possible the grey tones I'm seeing are actually the black skin showing a bit.
As it seems our experienced chicken tenders and geneticists are flummoxed, I will lean in and help you all out with what she is.
Obviously, when you have as much experience as I do, you can tell immediately what she is: a pretty chicken!
You are welcome!

Now it is true that I did have to consider this a bit because I understand there is a debate about whether she is any kind of chicken, but in this case I am quite convinced. Pretty chicken it is!

Just spent a little over an hr mowing th grass with BIL’s lawn tractor and I have to say that the hydrostatic drive is terrible! I cannot spend 2-3 hrs pressing down on a gas pedal with 100lb/in squared (ok an over exaggeration) - my leg and back are killing me! And do you think I can find a transmatic drive lawn tractor out there??? No! What is it doesn’t anyone know how to drive a manual gear shift anymore?!

Just as well - cheaper to hire someone likely.

Ok here is the lawn mowing tax

I love how you did the daily theme photos 🥰👍
 
Why is my rooster so much louder than usual today? He’s destroyed my chicken room, spilled water everywhere, feed everywhere and only ate a little bit of scrambled eggs I made for him. I hope he’s not sick. He certainly has energy… the brat!

@Sylvester017 said Roosters 🐓 are so regal 🤣

Let outside! He likely wants his lady friends.

Meanwhile Mr P has once again been picked - sheesh!
