OMG!!!! I got my first silkie egg/s today...I found 2 in the coop when I was cleaning it today...she must have laid one yesterday as well...

if only my blue boy will leave her alone!

She kicked his butt today after she had enough and was trying to eat some grass...

A good size for her very first eggs? yes?

I think I got my first bullseye in a silkie egg this AM. It is so tiny, that I'm not sure. My large LF eggs are so obvious. Anyone else have a hard time seeing the silkie bullseye?

At least I think it is a porcelain? She sort of looks like the partridge but all white underneath...and I am sure the egg was labelled that also...??

Did you crack open your silkie egg to see? Are you going to try and hatch some of your own babies now? What colors?

My first silkie pullet started laying a couple of weeks ago. She is blue with a blue roo. I set five eggs to see if they were fertile and they weren't. So I started cracking them everyday looking for the bullseye and I think I had one today so I'll collect a few and try again.

I forgot to mention that they both carry blue partridge so that should be fun!

Hi! Ok, so I am a tad bit confused and irritated so I needed to come here and ask a couple questions.
I hatched out 5 "Buff silkie" eggs a couple weeks ago under a broody. They all hatched out looking too dark IMO to be buff. I will try to post photos later of what they look like now. I'm kinda in a hurry! Ok, so yellowish on the head, and darkish on the backs. 1 looked like it would end up white. Well, today I hatched out 3 buff silkies from another seller. They are all for sure buff, but their skin is not as dark.
Both sets of eggs have 5 toes. The first set has really dark beaks and skin. The second set has lighter beaks and skin. Looking closely at them today 2 from the first set have single combs. Can a full silkie throw single combs?
And would the ones I hatched today be full with lighter skin?
