Oh my Bluewhoo! My Silkies came from McMurrays, no one locally sells the well bred Silkies I see here. I wasn't expecting high quality, but the birds are far from awful.

They are 9 weeks today and just coming together. They were nice looking as chicks- then went through moth-eaten looking stage. Like you, looking at some of the stunning babies on BYC I wasn't sure my little guys would anywhere near as pretty. I would loved to have started out with some of the wonderful well bred babies, but I was in such a hurry to get some more Silkies after we had a fox massacre, McMurrays seemed to be the answer. I'll try to post some pictures. I don't plan on showing, but love having the Silkies around; such cute little personalities and a broody hen is handy to have. I absolutely adore my little flock of Silkie babies!

Sorry to all. I have tried to post before and just couldn't get the hang of it. I sure did not plan on posting the same thing 3 times

Really pretty babies! Congratulations!

I got my silkies today!

I got a dark partridge bearded silkie, a buff bearded silkie, and a black beard-less silkie! I love them! I named them Cinnamon, Sugar, and Sissy.

This is Sissy(left) and Sugar(right) battling it out. They've about got the pecking order established now.

I will get some more pictures later.

Some updated photos of my 2 1/2 month old silkies. I've been watching the wings as they grow and they seem to be holding them better. Of course Picaso the pain roo has figured out that holding his wings out and away helps cool him down. It is soooo hot here, my poor chickens are panting in the shade

Peepers - blue partridge?




Haven't named her yet, she is sooo sweet will talk to you all day. Black hen




Blue Splash hen...still need a name for her..she's more standoffish.
