I got 2 dozen eggs from CJ this summer but had a lousy hatch rate due to my own fault (my humidity was way too high I guess, I didn't know about dry-incubating then. All but 5 or 7 of the eggs developed to full term, but then all but 4 died in the egg, so, I'm pretty sure it was my incubating.) ANYWAY, I got some lovely boys from the hatch. (All 4 that hatched turned out to be boys, lol.) Here are some pics of 3 of them..

I love them. They have the best personalities, I took them to a local event and there was constantly kids & people coming over to pet them. They LOVED it. They love being held and snuggled too. (Of course, don't all Silkies?

)

They are all very pretty boys.

Has anyone ever heard of Heavy Leg Syndrome in silkies? I had read about it somewhere else and could not find anything out about it. From what I seen it is when a silkies legs grow too fast? I was just curious about this and wondered if anyone here has heard of it.

Most of these are NOT lemon blues. Lemon blue is the same as brown red, but with the blue gene added. It is a crow wing (birchen) pattern.

These are my grandkid's lemon blue moderns:

u cant tell this pic but she is blue gray

Oh okay. I like the gray shades.
They're just pets anyway, so I probably won't have very many babies.
Maybe a couple for fun though.

And another one is hooked...
