I am so upset I didn't get to see them grow up.

Wow, I found a way to keep my rooster Mr Wyandottey from getting aggressive with the hens.
I separated him from them and gave him his own treats. No fights, no stress, but he’s pecking at my $200 dollar footwear. He really is a good guy, but he’s in need of training. That’s all

And I told him to get a job! $

Is that expensive or cheap footwear?

Shoe tax.

Cheap footwear

Those are absolute sweeties!!! Gorgeous. One thing I don't understand is where some Silkies grow a red comb which is an SOP disqualifier ~ maybe they get it from crossbred mixes?

When we got our first two bearded Silkies the little cockerel had a reddish comb but we didn't keep him long enough to see if it darkened later. The little pullet in the same hatch grew a normal dark skin comb.

If she was all gray as a chick she could be Silver Partridge.

And then there is a Blue Silkie that also looks just like our Silver Partridge. Honestly. I can't tell the difference.

All these pics of baby silkies has me wanting to shove silkie eggs under Georgie girl.

Good thing none of the silkies are laying eggs at the moment!
