Splash on the left, paint on the right

They all are very nice looking. I would get a splash,blue,buff,, and that partridge rock colored one. So pretty! Tell us all about them when you get them please and which ones you are getting! So glad for you.

I have a broody hen so I ordered catdance eggs and I moved her last night to a tote in the garage where she will be out of the heat. She seems to like it so I placed the eggs under her today. Question do I need to take her out to feed her? Or will she eat food and water if I set it next to her? Any thought or advise please

! This is my first time doing this.

That's a gorgeous splash!!!

Thank you! She got pretty right? She's the one that I have been posting pictures of as she has grown. She's looking good. And sooo sweet, not only toward me, but to all the chicks I put in with her..this has been my grow out pen, but I am going to make it my Silkie and showgirl pen. So they can go broody and hatch some eggs I put under them. No roosters here, so have to get some for them when they go broody. Will be fun. She already has the ones that I put in with her that are a lot smaller, snuggle under her at night. Too cute.

This is the best I could get of Monroe. She wasn't trying to come back in and let me pick her up lol.

I am just loving, that this black, is black! I love the real dark blacks! I want one!

I have a quick question...What color are my silkies?? I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between a paint and a splash. Oh, and these little fluff balls are 5 weeks old.

Not silkies!!! Polish, lol!!!

Seriously, I was imagining white crested black silkies! LOL!! Okay... yeah, I have WCB Polish too. They're my favorite.

Do you have a black pen separate from your other colors?

I'm no expert, but I placed the food and water near my hens. They get up to eat every here and there. Sometimes they'll sit on the eggs and eat at the same time if they can reach the feeder. lol

Looks like you have some splash(?), white and buff. The real dark ones are probably blue, maybe a black? Someone who knows colors better can say if I'm right or totally wrong! lol But definite white and buff. Can't go wrong with those. lol


I found these images through Google on FeatherSite.com. You can find lots of pictures on the Google image search. Just type in paint silkie or splash silkie.

Paint vs. Splash (paint on left)

She is the only black one I have right now. I have a splash roo and a blue partridge female. I want more. But it's so hard to find any here. I just got her Monday through an ad. I went in to get a splash female and they all looked so bad. She was hiding under them in the cage and I couldn't resist! I've been asking around for more Silkies but no one in the area has responded. I'd love to get a black roo.
