Hello

[Silkie Monster]

Hi All,

I have joined as I have recently picked up 12 silkies (7-8 weeks old now) - knowing that I will have a few roosters in the mix. I am hoping to end up with 6-8 hens, time will tell.

I have already had a read through a few threads and found some good information, I look forward to gaining more knowledge and hopefully being able to contribute some knowledge or learning myself eventually.

Welcome to BYC. Hope that you get the number of pullets you want. Do you have a plan B for the excess cockerels ?
