Yay, tomorrow is the day my DW is getting surprised with Silkies.

What did she think?

Yes, they're was a lot of birds there. I had the BB and BV white Frizzle Cochin pullet Bantam in the 4-H row.

Yay. DW loves them. She walked in and asked if the tub with the brooder was her surprise? She is thinking that it had our 2 chicks in it. When she look in it she asked what are they. I had to remind her of the Silkie she loved at the fair. She asked, is that what they are? Yup that's them. She is way excited. I will try and get pics tomorrow. They had a rough day moving the whole 3.5 miles from Marge's house to mine. Haha. They do have a little pasty but, but Marge said it is pretty normal for Silkies. She told me to just make sure the vent is clear. Her set up is pretty cool, gave me some ideas. Now we will just need to see what sexes we end up with and she needs to name them.

How cool! I can't wait for my chicks coming in late Jnauary/early Febuary. I already have names picked out!

Congratulations! I had to wait a few minutes to stop laughing first --- did you know that a 'show' silkie baby needs to be named a unisex name. That's 'cause you know it is a girl when it lays an egg! The really good show boys don't show the comb very early (usually gets too big and mis-shaped if early) and if very mellow, may not really crow until you have it entered in the show as a "pullet"

and it get so excited that morning as the judge comes down the aisle.

Seriously, Have Fun and enjoy the 'baby' weeks. Nothing is like that when spent with silkie chicks.

Best wishes

Hi there,
I see you are looking for a hen. I have one but she is a year and a half old. I am willing to let you have here for free if you would like her. She is heathy but is not laying eggs right now,probably due to it being winter. I just got this hen about three months ago along with three others and I really only want three, but they all came together.
