ME....ME...and ME...and also a friend of mine.Was someone on here looking for reds??
Are you going to the Newnan, GA show? I and a friend are going!!! Can't wait to see some of the well known silkie breeders there.I'm assuming you are talking to me. Believe me, you are not being rude! I'm just taking her as a why the heck, why not type deal. It's a show in N. GA forget the name thou. I was technically supposed to euthanize her because she wasn't needed for research as planned, so instead I brought her home. I'm happy with her (show quality or not). She makes a great pet!
Why do you not want to use a black from a BBS pen in your BBsS pen? He should carry the genes for lacing bred back to BBS.You don't really see the lacing on a Silkie, but the hackle will be the correct color. Look at the srandard. There is a difference between self blue, and blue.
Hey I am going this saturday as well...i am showing two blues and a splash....hope to see you there...I am going to the one in Jefferson off winder hwy
I can take a picture when I get the chance! But the real test to see if you have a black is to breed them to splash and see what you get. You should get only ONE outcome-- all blues. But if you get splash and blues, then you really just have a very dark blue.
Thank you.
This lady is selling all her AOV's birds including red. http://www.dylansilkies.com/ME....ME...and ME...and also a friend of mine.
I did a test on one I was pretty sure was dark blue. I've hatch about 15 chicks so far and no splash. This picture was taken with a flash and you can see the under fluff in his tail looks pretty light. He does have lots of green in the sun.
