Silkie Lovers, Show Off Your Fuzzy Chickens Here?!

[MysteryChicken]

Sounds like yours is a first generation breeding then.

They have the silver gene, so the blue silkie must have had it.

I want to make calico silkies sometime. Gotta do as much reading as possible before then.
I'm gonna get some splashes rather then blues, & more partridge silkies.

Wanted to show off my eye catching little man who I believe is a sizzle? He’s a silkie cross with frizzled feathers and the most adorable personality! Was wondering if anyone knew his colouring as well ?? He’s got a wild mix of stuff and the ends of his wing feathers looks speckled and barred ??

Blue partridge. Looks like he's split for the silver gene. So he'd be blue "golden" (which is gold/silver split) partridge.

So today has been a strange one...but a good one!

I let both chicks out of the introduction pen into the run with the adults and there was a few pecks but surprisingly nothing serious.

During all this, Oogy stayed in the coop and began making nests and squatting when I stroked her. Looks like she's going to pop out her first egg very soon...it's going straight in my incubator

Also, my bearded white was mated twice in the space of 10 minutes by my rooster despite her not laying. It's the first time she's accepted it so I guess she is also very close to popping out her first egg also.

It's good that things are working out for you, & your little ladies.

Yep, I'm glad!

I'm lucky I have such relaxed, careless chickens

This chick is going to be kept as a growout for sure! Oh and the quail too if it's female.

Quite literally falling asleep I need my hand...a busy day for the little chickies!

Thankyou!

It's a Coturnix Quail (English White colouration). It tries to snuggle under the Silkies as if they're it's mother.
