Giant Silkie Project.

I was so busy today I forgot to get pictures.

Chick growth update. 9 weeks old.
Went alittle picture crazy.

I'll notify you all when I back cross him to a silkie hen. I wish I had more like him, so I'll have to start breeding silkies to Brahmas again.

Holy smokes! Showing him in your arms really brings home how huge he is. And he's grown so fast! Do you think he'll have health problems like CX do? Do you expect him to be as long-lived as any other heritage breed?

He'll have no health problems. He'll live a long happy life like other breeds.
Yes, he's growing like a weed .

He got moved to the bantam coop yesterday to grow out more before he's placed into is proper coop.
I'll update you when I start breeding, & hatching more Silkie/Brahma crosses too continue the project.

Stay tuned for my MicroRaptor project. It'll begin once I'm done with my first two projects.
Here's a hint.

Oh boy Dinochickens! I will stay tuned for sure!

It'll be a separate thread though. The next project may not happen until a few years after my first two, so I hope you have patience.
