Dang Kathy! Looks like you're going to be able to have your cake and eat it too!! Looky there! Silkies that will lay colored eggs!!!

They're looking good lady! Keep up the good work.

Do you know their sexes yet? I stink at making such determinations, especially from just a photo.

Oh! Well then, in the interests of promoting the power of positive thinking, I'm going to say you have two girls and a boy! Does that work for ya??

Wish I had one to share pics of, but anyhow, I just looked at your four week old pics, and I have NEVER seen a silkie with feathers that looked like that. NE-VER!!!

100% totally agree with you! They do not feel like my Silkies feel either.

Maybe I should take pictures of my silkie's feathers and compare to these.

Just my uneducated input but they look to me as if they are almost Frizzle feathered..

BEAUTIFUL tho!! I'd LOVE to try and incubate some of those eggs!!

I didnt know this was an ongoing project. Can I join in?
I am on my 2nd generation EE/Silkie cross birds. I currently have 2 pullet chicks and a rooling that are in full silkie feathering but hatched out of green eggs. Type is more like a silkie in the pullets and more EE in the Rooling. I cant wait to see if they lay green eggs like their mom, which was my project...green/blue egg laying silkies.
I will post pics tomorrow.

OK... I have waited very patiently to see if any of my eggs were going to make it... I have two that are due to hatch Sat. that are ROCKING!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, but nervous also.
