Silkie chicks help!

[Dawng97]

Lacey is a poor quality mille fleur d'uccle. I stole her from a friend of mine. She was living in her cow barn all by herself and had lost a couple of toes to frostbite. I scooped her up one night and flat out told them I was taking her home with me.

This was the night I stole her. They had never been able to handle her and couldn't believe that I just picked her up and held her.

That's awesome of you! I'm in animal rescue also and I applaud you for doing that!

I also have a large mixed flock of standard chickens as well.

These are my big girls, from last year.

These are my standard babies from this year. I have 3 cockerels in the batch, I'm not sure who is staying and who is going in the pot yet.

She's the most flighty of all my birds, but like I said they never handled her and she is over 2 years old. This is a much better picture of Lacey.

I currently have her in with Thunder. I'm hoping to get a silkie cross breed with her coloring but with their feathers.

No, she is an extremely poor quality bird. She should have more feathers around her face.

Kinda like this.
