Besides the fact that they are absolutely beautiful, cute and fluffy....and hysterical! Their eggs are just as good as any other breeds. They're just a little smaller than your average egg, but still taste the same.What are the top qualities of the silkies? Are they good meat, eggs?
Silkies are great broodies and make good moms also. They're just a lot of fun in general.
Everyone should have a Silkie! Or two...or three...or more!
Now you're thinking! lolOk , more than cute
Yeah, it's that time of year. My partridge pullet has gone broody and won't quit! I was planning on showing her on the 21st of this month.Speaking of broodiness, I have 2 silkies on eggs now, crazy birds. One is on turkey eggs, the other is on assorted LF eggs. I have another wyandotte cross hen on more turkey eggs, another silkie and another wyandotte cross are showing signs of going broody, and tonight I had to physically remove my royal palm turkey hen from a nest containing two fake eggs. It's that time of year again.
Well, hello! Oscar is very handsome.
They both look blue in this picture.Two silkies born recently. I dont know genetics back further than parents, but have a splash roo and a white mom and a black mom.
What colors are the two silkies ( one in front and one on left) the one in front is a little lighter than the one on the left.
Blue, black or splash?
