These are the boys (2) and girls of my new White Silkie breeding pen!

Now....if I can only get the pens complete for those Blue/Splash and Buffs!

Very nice.

 

[Southern Chickens]

Any eggs for sale?

 

[purelypoultry]

Silkie bantam chickens definitely are a pleasure to have.

 

[Ms. Lewis Rich]

They are truly lovely, I am impressed.

Thank you!! I am currently doing test hatches to test for fertility, several are just completing a broody cycle and are just starting back up and for others it is their first eggs.

They look gorgeous!

Hubby doesn't want any more whites, but what he doesn't know, well ...

So beautiful....

 

[SundownWaterfowl]

Beautiful.

I have a question.

When breeding a silkie to a showgirl, you can get both silkie and showgirl chicks, correct? When breeding two of those offspring, both silkies, you can get both showgirl and silkie chicks, correct?

Yes, that is correct. The gene could come up again in future generations for those chicks.
