I think they are adorable too. I guess I'll take honorary aunt status.LOLI donāt think your point of view on them is too uncommon. What can I say I am their mother and I think theyāre just adorable, but that checks out doesnāt it
Thanks for the link I shall check it out!
Debbie, you won't want to give that baby up! It's going to grow on you. I promise!Truth be known, I am the mother of one.
About 4 weeks ago my breeder messaged desperate to get rid of some fancy silkie eggs so we traveled an hour to buy some at half price. I got ahold of someone else that said she'd take a few of the chicks, so I was relieved as we generally don't hatch in the winter.
When they hatched a few days ago, I was shocked. I never saw a naked neck at my breeders' so didn't have a clue. I contacted the gal who agreed to a few and she was elated and promised me to save that naked neck for her. Oh, that's no problem! So, it worked out well.

Hi, welcome to BYC! I love silkies (Believe it or not) and I have a showgirl roo! They're such an underrated type of chicken.Hi! 30 year old Florida lady here
Iām a long time lurker and recently started posting, I kept forgetting to do an introduction.
Iāve got a flock of silkies & showgirls + one australorp, and one silkie x bantam cochin cross house chicken roo.
Silkies are my favorite, I enjoy reading about their genetics and seeing various crosses people create with them.
I also have recently acquired an obsession with ornamental ducks and Iād love to get some one day in the (distant) future.
My other pets include a dog, cats and two buns. I like painting, gardening, long walks on the beach..
Not sure what else to say so Iāll leave it at that and include a couple photos of my favorite birds: Raindrop, Marshmallow, and Jpeg (the house chicken while he was having some outdoors time) View attachment 3673235View attachment 3673236View attachment 3673240
