Thanks. I'm hatching blue wheaten old English games and was wondering if it was the same as americaunas.

Would you all breed a black girl with awesome type but has a bit of gold leakage in her hackles? I'm deciding who to keep and who to re-home and I have a lot of silkies with great qualities, but not perfect. If I went by the sop 100% with them I wouldn't have a bird left.

Oh yeah and I am rehoming 2 of my 3, four month old boys, and keeping one for breeding. I could use some help in deciding which one to keep.

Boy 1

Boy 2

Boy 3

I can get more pics if need be. They are all correct in their feet. I think boy 1's beak may be a little light, potentially turning pink.

I like boy 2 best AS THEY ARE NOW. But silkies often develop far more than you might expect from an earlier appearance, and sometimes they don;t live up to potential. I would suggest keeping them as long as possible.

Thinking about showing my paint silkie pullet. Is she show quality??

Just a quick question--
What does a chicken show actually consist of?
