That's so funny how they do actually look like pompoms or something.

Well, Jen, . . . you should take my advice and RUN!

This breeding project will only give you grief.

I should know! I tried this Silkie project years ago.
My color and frizzle projects turned out disastrous.
I spent years in DNA research trying to get that right!

Oh, sure, they start off kinda cute.


This was my first breeding trio from my Blue/Black/Porcelain pen.

I even tried breeding them in an incubator at first.

This is one of the babies from my Lavender breeding pen.
This was early on when I was also trying to correct that problem with the frizzles.

My splash project turned out more like SPLAT!

But they wouldn’t stop breeding! I ended up with thousands!

They just keep multiplying! They don’t STOP!

I started out with two (2) buff Silkies.

The very next day, I saw this:

My white silkie would always have a brood underneath her!

To keep them from breeding, I figured I’d move the roos into the house.

Like I said, my frizzle project was a total disaster!

And they will not return to the coop at night. I had to hunt all over the yard for them.
They would always hide behind rocks or under trees where I couldn’t find them.
(Ignore the green color. Someone suggested I give them birth control pills. Yep! Turned 'em green.)

You will NOT be happy if you breed these Silkies.
And to make matters worse, you’ve got a ton of people on your waiting list who want some.

I had a boatload of people who wanted to buy some of my Silkies, too!
If you do not personally "know" these people, I would say do NOT sell to them!


One lady swore to me that she was a long-time Silkie breeder who treated Silkies like they were her own babies.
Well, I ended up selling her a dozen and this is what she did:

It’s downright disgusting!

But it didn’t stop there. She ended up breeding and selling to other people who claimed to love Silkies.

A hat?! A purse?!

Vacuum sealed?! Dinner?!

Why spread more disaster??! Quit while you’re ahead!

They’re trouble, I tell ya! TROUBLE!
