Ok, well, the egg color washed out in every pic I took, but this one's the closest. Mama is spoken for, but her 3 month old daughter is still available...

I am going to be bringing some "soup" boys to the swap for Diana so if anyone is looking for a silkie cockerel or other silkies, (or cochin cocks) please contact me asap. I'd like to get as many of these into homes as possible. Here is a list of what I have available. Car space will be limited, so I will only bring the soup boys and any that people have requested. If you are interested in any of these birds, please pm me for prices and details or pics.

Silkie Cockerels: All around 6 months old in porcelain, white, buff, calico, partridge, lav split, cuckoo split to porcelain, blue torti, blue partridge, blue, splash and black. I have pics of some of these boys - a few are just stunning. Some are breeder quality, some are show potential and others have dqs and are pet or project quality. In the pet group there is a gorgeous porcelain with 4 toes on one foot and a stunning white with a fused 6th toe on one foot. There is a lovely black with incredible type from Genn See lines who has a single comb. These would make a great start for someone wanting to get a really nice silkie at a rock bottom price.

Pairs: I have a nice buff pair, a nice partridge pair and 2 calico pairs. I'm pairing the calico boys up with 1) a splash SQ pullet except she has some brown/red in her feathering and 2) a dilute red partridge pullet, very nice type and quality.

Pullets: I have whites, partridge, buff, porcelain, splash, blue and black. The whites are BQ or show potential. Several pet pullets are available in porcelain and black. There is a nice blue pullet who walks with a limp, I think because she has a slightly turned toe and a silver partridge lav split pullet with a bad wry tail. These 2 will only be sold as pets to someone without roosters. I have a white hen hatched from HatTrick eggs that had wry neck as a youngster and still carries her head funny - I'd also like to get her into a pet home without roosters.

Hens: I have 2 buff hens I'm selling out of my breeding pen (which is just too crowded) around a year old. Nice color and correct

Juveniles: I have white, black and porcelains that hatched this year and range in age from 4-9 weeks.

Older cocks:
White: I am no longer using my senior white cock so have decided to offer him to an excellent home. He will be 4 years old this coming summer, but could still produce some nice chicks. He has a very sweet disposition and is at the foundation of my white breeding program. He is the father of the BB white hen on my avatar as well as my main breeding cock I'm using right now. He could still be a fantastic producer for someone.

Blue: Again, this boy has been a fantastic producer for me, but is related to all my birds so I can no longer use him. He has produced blue, black and splash show winners and originally came from eggs I hatched from Windchyme Silkies out of California. He throws beautiful vaulted chicks. He is also going to be 4 years old this summer.

Partridge: Very nice 2 year old boy who has produced numerous show winners. Excellent color. His wings could stand to be improved, but he is a great producer and the father of most of the hens in my breeding flock.

Cochins: I have 2 bantam cochin boys that I've been keeping in case I ever decided to breed cochins again. Since it looks like that is not going to happen, I'd like to see them go to a good home that can use them. They are from Harvest Breeze bloodlines, one splash and one black. Very nice boys. They must go together as they have been together since they were chicks. They are around 2 years old.
