I never wanted partrige but ended up with them by mistake and they are lovely..I love the pattern in there feathers.. And just think they never show dirt(LOL)
 
I love white silkies-I have never had any luck with them though:-( I sold my whites:-(

All I have are lav-black-splits-oh and a crazy funny buff boy-he got to stay because he is so funny and sweet:-)
 
The light ones definitely SHOW dirt, lol. It drives me crazy.


No luck with the whites? Did you have a hard time selling them?

Nope, selling them wasnt the problem at all. Last year I got white silkie eggs sent to me accidently. They were supposed to be buff. I love silkies anyway and didnt care too much. I got 4 to hatch out-big beautiful babies. we raised them all summer just to find out I had all roos! I sold 3 and kept the biggest prettiest one-he was a bully!!!! I sold him too-so No more whites-then I got more white silkie eggs ( wasnt expecting whites again) and got 1 to hatch out-it hatched out with a leg problem and I had to put it down at 4 weeks old:-( Whites just don't like me:-( Im sticking to my lavs and splits for now:-) Just stuck 15 more split lav eggs in bator tonight~
 
3chickens, I checked out your winnings. Best of Luck! I hope you hatch ALL Lavenders. They are going to be nice Quality birds no matter what the color. Keep us updated. I bought Lav/split chicks from Revolutionmamma about 6 months ago. ALL 5 turned out to be roos! My luck. Will add a hen some day. Luckily all the roos get along except one so they can be in a bachlor pen til I add more pens.
