LOL yes some of mine do also, but I made them that way. Normal silkies do not, they lay a light cream colored egg.

I read somewhere that old strains of Silkies lay blueish eggs. It would make sense since their earlobes are blue.LOL yes some of mine do also, but I made them that way. Normal silkies do not, they lay a light cream colored egg.

Not a bad looking bird.
Too bad she's useful only for hatching and rearing.
Bad egg layer, small eggs, and not a purebred.
Might be just me, but I'd never bred non-pure unless I was going for an olive egger.

Wow! What a tactless critique! I agree, I hope Urucuba *meant* it nicer than it came out.
She's a prettypretty bird and green blue/eggs too --- yaaay!
I am quite fond of non-silkie Fm birds.
How many toes does she have? I just hatched some golden laced sebright eggs and I'm thinking one of my Silkie Roos got to her too because these babies have feathered legs but only 4 toes
