Silkie Feathered Ameraucanas adventure

[Germaine_11.20]

Right now I feel like Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ. "There is no place like home..." or should I say BYC--I have missed you all and your great sense of humor, especially you Kathy!

OH, Germaine! I have missed you! I hope you have come back with pictures! We gotta see how they are doing, ya know!

Hey everybody!!! Just wanted to check to see how all the silkied ameraucana chicks are doing? My cream is getting prettier every day and the splash roo is growing out nicely... I will post some pics later ..

 

[Germaine_11.20]

I will get pics one of these days! I have everyone in secure lockdown due to neighbor dog attacks, a probable raccoon and coyote.

Two of my birds have beautiful fluffy soft feathers and the other two have a much stiffer, harder feather. The two with the harder feathers are also smaller. Interesting to watch them.

I still have no clue as to if they are male or female.

Post pictures when you can.

aww about half way until that litle pullet in the back starts to lay

Did you get any other ameraucanas to breed them with, besides the lavs?

Yes, I did get 20 Blacks and Blues from Paul Smith. However, they are only a couple weeks old. I am going to pick up some 4 month old blacks this weekend, I believe.
