Hello everyone!

I'm Georgie, fairly new to chickens had them on and off for a year now, I had always had Isa browns since recently, since a feral cat to my 6 hens a few months ago :(
I purchased two light sussex X silver laced wyandotte roosters for my dogs food but fell in love with the biggest boy now named Mr Muffin, a month later (about a week ago) purchased 5 Australorp cockerels for more dog food, obviously fell in love with one of them, I call him greeny because he has a green leg band, he's very friendly already and loves pets and cuddles :)
A few days later I decided to get some Australorp hens for my two roos, I got two hens one is broody with 7, week old chicks, they are so cute! and the hens are so friendly, mums a bit protective but I know shell be a sweety once shes no longer broody.
And today I purchased 4, day old chicks, two silkies and two pekin bantams!
Does anyone know what colour my silkie chicks will be when there all grown up? pictures are below :)

Along with my chooks, I own a beautiful raw fed Whippet puppy and in 7 weeks, will be welcoming another whippet pup!
I also own a 1 year old domestic medium haired cat, a 2 year old rat and a breeding colony of mice!

Now for the pictures!

Glad you decided to join us.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. I thought my hens were spoiled until I saw Mr Muffin on his couch :)
 
Think your silkies with end up partridge colored- they are very pretty. If they end up being girls - they will probably become excellent broodies for you.
 
Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Your flock is lovely!! I love each of them and how you described them! Love the name Mr. Muffin too!
 
Thankyou everyone, I'm getting two more chicks today! It's become an addiction!
Mr Muffin is so spoilt, he loves his new hen :)
His full name is Mr MuffinPuff, but he prefers Mr Muffin, makes a funny sound every time I call him MuffinPuff instead of muffin aha! :)
