Thanks for the info. Just out of curiosity, at what age on average are silkies considered mature (lay their first egg or crow and/or reach their peak size? I know they mature slowly....

Is it possible to get LEAKAGE OUT of a Lavs coloring? I'm hatching some eggs that may have some. Thanks~!!~

Farmerboy- What kind of leakage are you seeing? Do you ahve any pics?

I have 8 Lav/split silkie/showgirl eggs due in the next few days! They are the first batch from last years fall babies so I am SUPER excited! I hope they all make it out ok!

 

[FarmerBoy24]

Im so excited for you!!!!

Well I was told that Splash can give you various colors. I have hatched any yet I wanted to know is I did will any of them have leakage. Also what are the possible colors I can get? Splash/Lav hen with Blue partridge/lav roo?

 

[rilly10]

hmmm...I have never bred lav to any color other than black splits so I am not sure what you would get. I do know it will be really hard to tell the light splashes for the lavs especially as chicks.
No clue on what the partridge will do either. If both parents are splits though you should get 25% lavs. You won't be able to tell the splits from the non-splits and I have no clue what color they will be.

As for my hatch, one black split silkie chick is out! Other than that I have 5 pips and two have not done anything yet.

Thanks BB

Rich is improving, slowly, but still cannot see. So, since I'm going to be home all winter I might as well hatch

I may go to Sussex to drool. Looking forward to some spring shows to show. I'm also thinking about the Cochranville Mud Sale.​

AAWWW!!!! Mud sales...... you never know what you'll find. Go for one small thing, bring home LOTS of large things, sheds, coops,lumber to build more coops..... one track mind in this neighborhood.
