OMG Hannah! Sammy is the split image of his daddy!!!! That you for showing me his picture!!! I would have sworn that was Sammy in your pic! Now I know where Sammy gets his good looks from!

Does Ray talk back too you too? Sammy grumbles under his breath at me especially when I am making him get in the coop at night! It like he is mouthing off but doesn't want to get too loud!

I looked over the picture and I was like, "How did she get Ray?" They look so much alike! Yes, Ray is the head roo in the silkie pen and isn't afraid to crow and talk to me if I get too close to his girls!

just recently on sunday i bought a single silkie chick from a guy that had alot of chickens for sale but in really bad conditions..the little chick was out in the heat in a bird cage with no shade i went to see what he had and saw this little thing there

got some others but since its a silkie thread

no name yet waiting to see what it is..ideas on its color? also noticed it had five toes on each foot..and was wondering if its normal? never had silkies before and never read about them know nothing until the guy i got it from told me it was a silkie

I'm going with Buff too.

thank you for rescuing him

I'd like to make better buffs, but I am now the proud owner of 16 silkies of various colors and want to experiment. I'll probably end up with a Frankenchicken!!!!

oh yeah.....five toes is the norm; they should also have feathering down their legs and onto their toes

Oh my, FLChick the last picture is really a beautiful bird. I don't know SQ from scratch but I would love to have that beauty....

I'd drive all the way to Florida to pick up a beauty like that!!!!

Thanks!!! I just bought them from a breeder in Gainesville, "oldtimegator" on BYC. The last pic is my blue/split cockerel, he is 4mos old I believe.

I'd drive just about anywhere in my state to get a good chicken! I love the excitement of buying new chickens!!!!
