You lucky duck!!! I have been raising 5 buff Silkies on my table indoors...pampered beyond reason, too, I might add. And I think I have 5 boys!!!!! I'm tired of losing at "Roo-lette" every time I get babies! Arrrrrggggghhhh!

I believe you have a pair nice color by the way.Where did they come from if I may ask?

They were from a BYC auction from Kelar silkies. She has them for sale all the time, and are often great value.

Great seller. I bought 2 lots from her, each time she sent 18 eggs (not 12) . Eggs had great fertility, and hatches were 7 and 8 with lots of chicks with high vaults getting to 21 days and just not hatching (no surprise there). Sad but overall great for shipped eggs. Toes were not right on several though if you care about that.
Which one wold be the boy, dark or light one?
Thanks!
