Silver the EE roo. He is the top rooster

Kiwi, silver partridge (?) silkie. Blueberry the lavender Orpington is photobombing. Kiwi used to be somewhat of a top rooster but then silver took over with his buddy Chipmunk and 2 others.

Here's Willow, she pretty much does her own thing. Also, she's never been able to grow a tail for whatever reason, it was picked at when she was younger but just never grew back. Her saddle feathers have covered her little stump

Orchid! He is a Cochin x silkie mix. Was a project from some person. I need to get a picture from him front view because he has ridiculous eyebrows
View attachment 2963128
Violet, she is a satin silkie. She is almost always broody and has hatched out a clutch of 6 chicks and then 3 guineas. Duckie is the rooster, he is also a Cochin x silkie cross. He gets aggressive from time to time but he's so little that it's funny that he even tries.

Oreo, one of the chicks Violet hatched. He is a salmon faverolle x cochin cross and super nice. Hes a real gentleman to the ladies. The hens are (in order from left to right) Ember (EE you can only see her face), Polly (EE), Nutmeg (patridge rock), and Chile (cinnamon queen).

Strawberry, she's a blue laced red wyandotte. The guineas face peeking out is hilarious, I didn't even realize until I looked through the pictures. Violet, Ember, Oreo, and Polly are all in the background

Apple! She really really REALLY wanted her picture taken. She is super photogenic.

River, blue birchen Marans. Really sweet. (Left-right) Star, Lakeshore egger, Grape, Australorp, Cricket, green queen

Prairie, green queen. Super social and friendly!

Lil' Cherry. She is a green queen yet she looks A LOT like a salmon faverolle.

Nutterbutter and her awesome beard. She's also a green queen! She's pretty friendly, but she does bite.

Raven, she is a sizzle and is grumpy lol. Like Violet, she is always broody.

Ruby, she's a RIR and super friendly. She also likes her picture taken.

Amelia is the green queen in the front. She is so sassy and has a ton of personality. Her one toe on her left leg is wonky because I guess she injured it? Never acts like it bothers her. Plum/Baby Plum is the Australorp and is the sweetest! She snuggles =)

Guinea and duck group shot!

Toffee, our little puppy dog turkey! She is just the best. Baby Sheep Sheep is on the hill lol. You can see his silhouette. He's over a year old but we still call him that, we bottle fed him so he acts like a dog too. I'll see if I have some baby pictures.

Same here! Our chickens, ducks, guineas, geese and turkeys will be sad. They do NOT like the snow. Poppy our lgd will probably also be disappointed. She hates water and anything wet.

Do you have another picture of Duckie? His coloring is pretty unique, considering that mottling is recessive and the gene is very rare in silkies!

As for the green queens, they actually are mixed with faverolles, which is why you’re seeing those traits.

What’s a green queen? I never understood it.

Meyer Hatchery made the green queen. They lay green eggs like olive eggers, but some have a beard and muffs. They are very friendly
