Wow 21!! That’s a lot how old are they ?

I hope you’ve read up on the care they require .. foot care and nail trimming and trimming around their eyes ,

They sure are fun , my silkie rooster is not trying to kill me anymore so that’s good .

Have fun and I’d love to see 21 silkies !! I have 3 hens and 8 inches of testosterone ( Carlos )
This is Carol and Carlos , the two black ones are hiding
