Hi Y'all!
Finally found time to visit again. It was a busy spring..... and wet!.....and Buggy!
I have a question. Is there anyone in Michigan who raises Partridge Silkies? I understand it's a hard color to breed for.
I've been looking for several years. I have found places that will sell hatching eggs but, on further investigation, found that the eggs came from mixed color flocks. Consequently, no guarantees on colors.
If anyone has some nice chicks or birds or eggs they will part with, I would like to purchase. I want to see how hard it is to breed for the Partridge color or what variations there may be.
Thank you all and have a blessed summer.
 
By the way! Got my incubator working! Ordered 16 Barred Rock eggs and all but 4 hatched. Perfect little chicks! I can't believe how fast they have grown and feathered out. They are 18 days old today and look pretty much like miniature Barred Rocks. I was told they mature quite fast but this really surprised me. 😲
