Look at this cross between silkie and polish- it’s a Tolbunt polish Silkie

Beautiful! Have you also noticed the prices? IMO out here anyway, it's worth the price from an NPIP breeder & especially those that vaccinate & DNA-sex their chicks. Beautiful assortments to drool over. I especially liked the bearded Moorhead Silkie

They all came out into the run this afternoon. The silkies were the last ones but they did it!! It was fun to see them dig and catch bugs.

Well, @TOMTE Pokes here is a very good boy



And he's smaller than your ladies for sure.

Goldie Bird needs to be in with your great polish roo, Marble, - he will teach him some manners! Maybe just Goldie bird and one or two of the other troublesome boys - Marble and Buffy will teach them! And there wouldn't be other pullets for him to attack....Don't know if that is a possibility or not..... just a couple young, hormonal boys in with the adult pair???

@SimpleJenn

Marble will educate what Buffy doesn't...and the hormones will drive them to test Buffy, giving them a GREAT lesson early. Any others head that way, add them in also.

Marble's School for Gentleroos. Placing them will be easier (and the recalcitrant ones will be clear in a hurry)

Even hubby says he doesn't want to eat him!
He's such a wonderful little fella.

Sadly, I can't see the photo. It's not coming up, just an empty square.

I decided to let the babies take a supervised outing into the run and this picture cracked me up.

That’s Rue my smallest SFH pullet, she was the boldest and first to venture out. What makes me laugh is the two baby Roos behind her checking to see if she makes it or not. What brave boys

Brave little boys.
