Giant Silkie Project.

He'll be 1yr on May 30th.

Okay, not only I'm gonna make a Malay/Silkie F1 cross, I'm thinking of making another Brahma/Silkie F1. Just to maintain a wide/deep body when bred.

Also, I wanna do both a back crossing like the last time, & see how the results compare if I bred Silkie/Malay to Silkie/Brahma.

I'm thinking about putting Floof on the hang scale, & get a better accurate weight on him today. If not today, I'll do it tomorrow.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Wasn't able to weigh Floof today. Hopefully tomorrow will work out.

I weighed Floof today. He is 5.02lbs .

 

[MysteryChicken]

Now to see how much he'll weigh at 1yrs old. See if he maintains that weight, or gains more. He's definitely still growing, he's the biggest in the coop, besides Demon the Sumatra. Definitely bigger then him.

I'll post back with the Cull's weight after butcher. It's getting close to that time.

Before I start this project up again, I got some chicks to hatch for a friend. They're getting a few EEs, a couple Silkies, & a couple random mixes.

So probably 4 EEs, 3 Silkies, & 2 mixes. A total of 9 chicks.
