NEW! My Silkie...ISNT! What do you think it is? ADULT PICS ADDED!

[Bethy]

Awwwe they are so cute! My 4 new store-bought silkies are a month old and they have already changed and grown soooo much! Mine are just beginning to go through that kind of "awkward" phase where it's a feather/fluff mix.

Hmmmm.......they seem to be some sort of muatation...they will probably grow up to try to take over the world. You should send them to me.....I can protect the world from their evil fluffiness!

They are so cute! Congrats on the fluffybutts!

last year I got some bantams at TSC and the salesperson said one was a silkie but I had counted toes and new it wasn't. It was a Porcelien Duccle which is my guess for your chicks

I'm going with splash Cochin since I don't see a beard like a D'Uccle would have, but post pics later on and we'll see what they turn out to be.

Thier feet are getting REALLY furry! Lol...it is SOOO cute! They dont look as "round" as my other Cochins....

 

[newchknmama]

I dont know.. but now I want a "blue" chicken.. I wish I could have one of every color!! they are so cute!

 

[greytmommy]

MORE pics!

3wks.

I think the guesses of Splash Bantam Cochins are right. They are starting to "splash". But I would have really liked a Porclein D'Unccle after seeing more pics of them! Maybe I will have to get some next year...

So jealous! Blue is my favorite color for chickens! Splash is close enough!

I did get 1 litle blue chicky in the mixed bantam bin, I think it's an OEGB, but they didn't have any fluffy ble chicks. You really lucked out!

Ok, my mystery blue bantams are about 10wks old!

They are......

Blue Splash Bantam Cochins! One Roo and one Pullet!

Here is Blue (our rooster) at 10wks:

And here is Ellie (our pullet) at 10wks

They make quiet a pretty pair! And so far Blue is VERY friendly, and I hope he stays that way. He hasnt really started crowing yet, but makes some of the cutest sounds!
