So.....can you tell genders for certain on the little silkies yet?
Should be able to see the tail feathers looking more Roo like.

Like Clyde’s tail - spiky, here as Georgie Girl has a round one.

Maybe Clyde would be a good match😉

I do not know who his egg mama is but it will be Fluffy or Curly. I would have to say both (Clyde and Georgie) are from Fluffy though.

You say Clyde is not an all Black? that he has gray/silver collar leaking thru which usually means some Partridge history. Our Mika looks all Black but she has a slight gold collar w/Partridge speckled gold wing tips classifying her a "Dark Partridge" even though she looks all black.

Owners have mixed Silkie breeding colors so much that too many come out w/ Partridge genetics/leaking. Still ~ the Silkie birds are such sweeties no matter what their color. We had the opportunity to get Satin, Frizzled, or Laced Satin Silkies but we happen to adore the pure fluff fuzzy butts of olden days when we got our last 3 Silkies.

Yes, Clyde has a silver ruff on his neck and head. Grizzled is how he looks.

Georgie is a partridge.
 
Wrapped Nocturne's foot. I didn't peel back the scab or anything, cleaned it up, sprayed banixx, triple antibiotic on gauze and vetwrap. She did very well and received pumpkin seeds for her cooperation.

Morinth is NOT a fan of Versace, he must have said something chicken-ist against silkies. Oh well, he will learn about how much of a chicken a silkie is!
HRH Aurora taught him that. So sorry.

He will learn his manners in due time. I think Ric Flair and Bab Ross are bantam polish next to him, they are smaller.
I told him that he needs to learn to be a good boy and a gentleman, then the big ladies will be all over him. Including Morinth and Samara.

Tiny girl Cream lays a pink egg, my mother in law is ecstatic. She's been asking me to get a pink layer since we had to cull Kasumi.

Cream and Liara have decided to be leghorn sisters. They look very similar!
Nocturne likes to be with the other big gals, Ash and Shep. Cookie has been camped out in a nest box all day.
