I don't know, Buddy, I think she looks different from when we got her. She's bigger, that's of sure. She's fluffier too.

I do have a question for others here, though: She is missing a lot of feathers around her butt-it's all just bare skin. Is this normal? Could it be the other hens are picking at her, or do Silkies just not have a lot of feathers around their butts? She's the only one of the 26 birds that has a bare butt.
