Silkie thread!

I absolutely love my silkies. I currently have blacks, blues, splash, whites, buff, calico, and true silvers. I just ordered a few hatching eggs of Porcelain, Paint, and Cuckoo. Hopefully I have a good hatch. So far all of my silkies are show quality. I'm in Nebraska, if anyone is close let me know if you are looking for a few more silkies.

AAAHHH!! I am in PA... I want silkies so bad, and it seems like everyone close to me doesn't have any for sale!!!

How close are you to Augusta, NJ?
I know someone with chicks, and we should be at the NJ state fair this weekend.....
BUT because of the weather, she would like to people to pre-order so we don't have to drag them all over.
Mostly splash and blue left, too early to sex.
PM me if you are interested!

I like looking at pictures of birds. = ) So.....Just thought I would share some I took of my birds upon returning from a show in June 2012. As you can see, the sun was setting and the lighting made for some neat pictures.

I like this picture and the lighting.
Beautiful birds.

I was looking into the leg bands for my chickens, mostly the chicks.

What size would I order for a silkie chick? Or an adult silkie?

Oh, boy! They're all popping out left and right now!

Now I have 4 chicks and looked like 4 more zipping.
There are 2 splashes, one white and my one and only buff that literally just plopped out of it's egg as I went to pick up the hen to see what was happening with the eggs. I think the black, paint and partridge eggs were the ones zipping.






I swear this little one is saying "Hey, you. Yeah you! Put me back down!"


This one is priceless. A little chicky hug.

There's grumpy pants again in the back and the one in the front came out of a white egg. It just looks awfully reddish. Must be from being inside of the egg for all those days. lol


And grumpy again. Maybe that's what I should call this chick. We already have a zedonk at the farm named Fancy Pants, also known as Cranky Pants. Why not have a Grumpy Pants too?

These pics are DARLING, Sanna!!!! I just love the expressions on their little faces...and the Mommy hug needs to be framed

Here's a yucky molting showgirl hen I picked up. Hoping she'll look good eventually...

AWW! Why does she remind me of the crazy lady down the street who all of our parents told us not to bother...??? Be sure to post more pix of her when she is done molting so she can redeem her reputation!

I tried the spiral ones, and it was awful. They were extremely hard to get on, and it hurt them when I tried. I would get something besides the spiral. As for size, I have no idea
