Oh, thank you! Glad to know she is a she. And great to know she looks like a bearded black silkie. I'll have to look into the breed and learn more about them.

They are my favorite I am going to start breeding them and if I like them enough when my mixed flock dies I might just start breeding them only

Hello! I just got 4 new silkie chicks.

One black named Lizy, one white named Slippers, one buff named Misty, and one Splash named willow. That's they only picture I have at the moment.

I have six beautiful silkies! They are all very tame!

There's just two colors that I can't figure out. Does anybody know what color this silkie is? Her name is Cottontail, and she's a real sweetie. You can't see it in the picture, but in addition to the light beigish coloring, she has some black specks.

This is Timy Tims!

He is 15/16 silkie and 1/16 bantam Cochin (hence the straight comb). He is a real sweetie and loves having 5 mistresses (all silkie hens).

Does anybody know what this color is?

Interesting you should mention the straight comb. While observing my silkie babies today, I noticed 3 of the six have what appears to be a straight comb. I thought it was odd. I did purchase them from TSC so I know they are not of show quality. They are only 2.5 weeks old. I don't know if the comb will change.or not.
