He is a handsome guy but is not to standard. He has leakage and would not be ideal to breed toward a silver/gray program. Perfect though if you don't show or care to! He is striking, and I suspect would be more so in better light.So tried again to get pics of the silkies. No one wanted to go out and taking them inside coop they don't turn out very well. However this stud did go outside. I just love his coloring!
8 and 10 week baby updates!!!!! I love my silkies.
The 10 week olds..
The 8 week olds...
I typically feed the frozen eggs back to the chickens. I mix the eggs, shells, water and some feed together for a treat. Others cook the eggs first.
Any time you want to borrow a RIR rooster, I have 3 and can only have 1 in the breeding pen at a time right now. That leaves 2 to pick from.I do have BCM but need a rooster, as always! I have 2 hens I kept that I am happy with the color and temperament.
I may add more soon, once people are selling eggs again, and hens start laying.
In the meantime I plan on hatching olive eggers, have some adorable rhodebar, and a legbar roo to pick from!
I am in madison county, SE end, south of pendleton
If I wasn't doing the millies I would be soo tempted, but I have to stop somewhere
We will be tearing out the egg coop soon, its in bad shape, and rebuilding
It will be breeding pens and a new, smaller "egg flock" coop.
These are the friendly birds that aren't quite what I want in color or shape, But enjoy them as flock members.
Mostly EE and oddball breeds I only have a few of. Cut a lot of the roosters out already and more go this week.
I already have a Pearl, and my mothers dog is Minnie, so that won't happen, but this is also the same bird and there is nothing male about her. I think it was the way she was standing and the angle on her comb in the picture. She is very pullety in person. Then again at 8 weeks it's difficult to tell. Her comb is quite small compared to the others. She is also super tiny. She weighs nothing. So she looks more baby than the others. Do you have any thoughts on sex of the other chicks?

Farker Farms ~ Love your gorgeous, healthy looking horses! I can't imagine having to pay a vet bill for a horse-- my cats are expensive enough.
bradselig ~ Lowe's question please: A few years ago, I bought a 7' GE pre-lit Christmas tree. It came with extra bulbs, small silver fuses for lights, and larger gold fuses for plugs that light up sections of the tree. I need more large gold fuses-- are those sold separately or is the tree outdated where I would not be able to find any replacements?
