Quote: My blue cockerel had this kind of coloring. Too bad he had a split wing, a crooked beak, and a bad attitude!

That is a most beautiful bird..I would keep him....his color is my idea of a blue roo to the Standard description

Thanks! Credit to Catdance! He should have a black head, right?

Side note.. I found the red hen peeking in amusing

Yes he is correct...i have a Catdance blue male too and he is a similar color won RV blue at the JRs Silkie Nationals last year at Crossroads ....Catdance has really nice stock!

Before we get off the color blue, here's my 5 month old cockerel. I'm really liking this boy. What do you all think? I'm sure his color will even out....

beautiful! I love him! I agree-- his coloring is more what you want to see. His type is great!!

That's encouraging!

Thanks! I love his type too! He'll be taking my other guys place in the BBS pen as soon as he's able. Judging by the size of his comb, I expect it will be a while.

She must hatch left and right.. Seems everyone is praising her name.

Probably one of the few with good quality silkies who sells as day olds.

I wouldn't if I were her I'd be saving them all for myself *evil cackle*

Very few of the folks with really good stock are willing to sell hatching eggs - for many understandable reasons. Lucky for us, it seems to be working out pretty well for Catdance!
