Awww Foxy you’re tailless! But I bet your new feathers will be glorious



Photo #6 is my pick for the photo contest




It drove me nuts when my silkies mums would just go on the attack with everyone. That was the cause of all the problems with my broodies. But I feel that more experience would solve that issue.

Oh, now you are enabling yourself!

Yes, I agree - give the Silkies more experience being broody!

Hmmm what I meant was more experience for them might likely solve their aggressive tendency when broody if I gave them the chance - fat chance!

The term leakage generally refers to hints of color showing through what should be a base/main color where it's usually strong enough to cover everything else. Cheetah x Thing ladies (like this one)View attachment 3666290Are black split to mottled. That means they have Thing's mottling, but it's covered by the black. I noticed in August, that they were starting to moult and had a couple of white mottled feathers "leaking" through.

Like Petunia?

Sir Jaffar was standing on the porch right at the door, waiting for me to bring him inside. Yes my lord, I will bring you inside the house. He prefers eating by himself lately.
He rarely goes up those stairs.

Well, if I were a Lord, Lady, or Knight, I would like a bit of peace and quiet when I eat, too! Who wants to be accosted for your picture or autograph, or for favors, when you are trying to eat?????

This is what it should look like - serving him peacefully!

He has been well fed, and now he just wants to relax a while. (I wiped his beak, removed the yogurt) He is in my office with me.
