We just bought our first chickens a week ago.

We are in Saluda NC, the corner of Hendersonville NC.

Would love to chat with other chickeners

While we are new to chickens we have raised German Shepherds for 19 yrs

OOO and you are not going to believe this..... 1 of my splash silkies has a STRAIGHT comb. What in the world is going on here !!!

Had him sitting on my lap, and parted his puff and there it is.

I suppose I will have to be VERY picky on where I get my eggs or birds from now on.

Yeah, some people call it jubilee as that's what it's called in the UK and they have the mahogany tone. Mille's in orps don't seem to have as much white as the cochins do. Mine are note expressing yet that way, they are gold/black with a hint of cream, mahog/black with a hint of cream. When bred to buff they developed into black tailed buffs but obviously carry the gene, hence my buff mottled pullet that just popped up.

My other hens are solid black but there offspring pullets are black and now expressing a gorgeous gold in the hackles and what looks to be lacing starting. For me this project is just getting better and better.

Not a great pic but here are some of them from the project, there mille is all on their chest
