Goodbye boys 😢- EPIC TWIST OCCURS

[PippinTheChicken]

@PippinTheChicken maybe you could help me by finding some decent Silkie girls for sale.
I haven't started to look yet but I will be soon!

I've decided not to hatch some because I don't want to have to deal with males.
I want fertile eggs as soon as possible

I don't know what area you're in so I probably won't be much help. Have you tried Pets4homes? @MysteryChicken what are good colours to breed with silver partridge?

 

[PippinTheChicken]

Try gumtree and preloved too

You can breed blue to get blue silver partridge, which will look neat.

Introducing Pickles to his future flock.

For once he was silent, just sat and stared for ages.

I need to trim the feathers above his eyes. They're getting a bit long.

That's so cute!
My mum's wondering if he's dribbling (I have no idea what she means!)

The boys are very friendly to chicks. They were great with Pippin and her chicks (I never separated them) and I had no complications with them at all! They were great chick protectors too!

That's interesting to know.
They are very gentle birds.

I think my chicks are just a but too young to risk it yet but i might let them into the coop someday soon

Yeah, don't risk anything if you don't want to, I'm sure you won't have many problems when you decide to integrate them

I bet they'll be happy when you do! My chicks would go crazy their first time in the coop.
