Silkie thread!

Those are such gorgeous partridge! Have you made a decision on what to do with your beautiful red splash? Have you got a girl picked out for him?

I have no idea what I am going to breed him to, I know he won't be going anywhere though, at worst he'll just be the ruler of the pet pen since my previous rooster passed not long ago. I am going to try to find a red paint girl or porcelain maybe just to experiment - lol

Peepblessed you are killing me. I have a few more days on my eight developing eggs from Bobbi. Yours are beautiful!!!! Happy Day!

Oh, the time will fly by except for the sleepless nights!

Thanks!! I can't wait to show her and for her to lay so I can hatch some of her eggs out!

I just hatched my first exotic colors but was just as excited to see how my first chick from my own raised pullet turned out. Such great fun!!

I just wanted to know what you all think of my blue silkie pullet. I think shes around 7 months old, I wish she would start laying

. I'm showing her next month. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of her feet but I know she has all five toes and no extra toe nails or anything. She was in some mud today so she is not in very good condition.

Here she is in better condition:

Her wings are a bit too loose, but MAN does she have fantastic type!

I can't tell if her wings are too loose or if they are overshredded ?But I agree shes got phenomenal type

I don't think shredding is the issue. But I sure wouldn't let the wings keep her out of the breeding pen, regardless. Her type is so good that a lot of faults could be forgiven.
