Well, I recently had a very disappointing run at incubating, which resulted in 0/24 hatches. However, I did find some paint silkies that I love! I now have chickens!!
I believe I have a hen and rooster, and a young pullet and cockerel. I hope to add a few nice quality black silkie hens later. There is one young black silkie that came with them, but she(wishful thinking?) seems a little quiet, so I have her quarantined from the others at the moment to keep an eye on her.
There are some pot bellied pigs and their toys in the pictures, since I put the chickens in the pig pen temporarily until I could complete the final touches to make their new home secure - and also just because they're fun. Pigs and poultry... Does it get any more cute?
What do you think of my new silkies?
