they are beautiful! What varieties are the chicks?

 

[dwegg]

I got 2 lavender, 3 buff, 2 blue/splash, 1 porcelain, (and I had a paint egg hatch but that is the light colored chick with the stripe? so I think it is maybe silver partridge?) and a full partridge.

Ok, Silkie owners, how are the Silkie roosters? I think it would be fun to try a Silkie, but they are only ordered as straight run and not sure I'd want a roo of this breed? Feedback...

By and large, they are wonderful. Sweet personalities, snuggle muffins, more personality than the girls. But every individual is different.

I only own a 2 1/2 month old but he's a sweetie! I can trust him with kids. I feel more comfortable with kids playing with my silkie cockerel instead of my wyandottes

I have had several. No meanies yet!

You will not be sorry you bought silkies but they are extremely addicting! Be prepared to expand you coops and runs!
