Alright so I go 4 silkies from Shari at Harvest Breeze Farms. They were a day late in the mail.
A white pair and a young blue pair.
Here is a picture of the white rooster she sent me. He is a year old.
He is so much prettier in person. And his tail is so fluffy it is crazy.
I didn't think the white hen was going to make it but she is doing better now.
I put them in the temporary pen. And when inside to make them some food. When I came out they were all covered in ORANGE and pecking around!
Darn it I was about to take pictures.
So the little blue rooster turns around and he has an egg shell stuck to his face!
The little white silkie hen laid an egg, and they ate it! All within about 5 minutes.
That was my first silkie egg ever! She is only a pullet. I don't think Shari knew she was laying. So it was her first egg too!
It's crazy. I'm so excited that she is laying. She is not even 5 months old yet! Is that even possible. I didn't know it was. Can't wait until I get some fertile eggs and start popping out babies!
I also have a white trio that i have been growing for a few months from sunshine silkies, and a splash hen.
I will go and run out and try to take some pictures.Although they are all orange know and not as fluffy so maybe not. At least I will try to get some of the other silkies I have.
What an exciting day.
