lavender silkies

[1Chick Magnet]

does anyone have a photo of one. thinking of ordering lavender from ideal but there is no photo. do they look more like white or grey?

They don't look white or gray. They look similar to a very light blue. You should be able to do a search on them. I think lilpeeps posted a pic of an awesome roo.

I also thought about it but I think there might be a limit and I think 25 is too many for me...........

Ideal doesn't have a 25-chick limit, just a $25 limit. I was able to order 10 bantam cochins in October. I love them for this reason.

I got some from Ideal, but the quality is pretty lame. They all have regular feathering on their wings.

I agree, the type on the birds isn't great, but it's the color that really matters. Most of the ones I had recieved ended up with nice shredded wings.

Here are some self blues I recieved from Ideal last year. The color is very good, I'm working on improving on the type.

Here's one not from Ideal, but I will be crossing him with their self blues.

The flash washed out his color in this pic

Those are some pretty birds! Now I have another to add to the list of "I want..."

I hatched some black Hattrick Silkies to cross with mine, hopefully that will help!

This is one of my roos from Ideal. His name is Grape.

I gave one of my other lavender roos to a breeder. He is going to breed him with his lavender pullet, and I'll get some babies in exchange!!!
