I am sorry to hear that you were decieved on your first round of ordering eggs. Was it an accidental mistake? Breeding silkies is a very interesting project. They may acquire physical genetics in the future.

I also got excited about haychhat silkies a while back. Here in the systat, we do recognize the hardship of shipped eggs..the actual shipping methods, and, hoping you get what you ordered. It took time, but I found some wonderful folks with great colors that I wanted. Here are a few photos...View attachment 1631839 View attachment 1631845 I love the whites and splash.

Your Silkies are gorgeous! Love the colors. We are quite limited to the colors we have here in New Zealand. The only colors recognized are white, black, blue, splash, partridge & buff. I know of one breeder working on Cuckoo, but I don't know anyone actually working on grey, which I was hoping to work with. So it was a bit of a blow hatching out the wrong colors ... & half of them Sizzles. The seller of the eggs was very apologetic & wanted to send out the correct colors, & I will probably take her up on that at some point.

Thank you for your welcome. I believe it was a genuine mistake, & the seller was most apologetic, offering to send out 6 of the correct colors. How she managed to pop in 3 Sizzles was just as much of a shock as all the wrong colors, & to get single combs instead of walnut combs, just capped it all off. However, I love each one of them, & I would keep every one of them, but sadly, with four boys crowing loudly at our neighbors, I am going to have to re-home them, & it is going to be hard to re-home the two partridge boys with the single combs .... they will have to go to pet homes .... & mostly they want girls. If the white sizzle Opal starts crowing too, I will just sit down & cry, I think :( But I have my 6 white pure silkies from my own white pair, who are now just over 2 weeks old :)
