Pics and Stories of your Silkies

[redheadchick]

Silkies are very interesting chickens, everyone gets a kick out of them. I have 2 in my flock, both supposed to be hens, but our white silkie turned out to be a Roo. Prince is the gray silkie, I have one pic of when she was a chick so I had to post it, silkies are adorable as chicks.

This is Lola. Her BFF is a Plymouth Barred Rock named Callie. They are ALWAYS together.This is Itty Bitty just 24 hours old. You can see how tiny she is next to the egg. She is 1 1/2 months old now.

Beautiful! They are such funny chickens - I actually love it when they go broody because they let me pick them up!

Thanks, hugapug, those are such pretty chickens. Itty Bitty is pretty, but I want Lola! Gimme, gimme! Lol.

My mom and I rescued a pair of silkies. They both died about 3 months later

Aww, I'm sorry. I purchased a $15 dollar SQ blue silkie rooster mainly for show/breeding purposes, but never realized how sweet he was: talk about sweet...! And then he died from lice about a week later.

I hate lice!
