Silkie thread!

Wedgewood was suggested on the ASBC forum. I thought it was cute.

Personally I think Wedgwood (there is no second e in the spelling) is a pretty word, but does not reflect the colouring. "wedgwood" is 1) an English manufacturer of fine and everyday china or 2) a specific hue of blue unique to that manufacturer. Now much of their china is indeed porcelain, so that could be a fun play on words, but my first thought when I hear it is wedgwood blue, not the porcelain manufacturer.

FWW, I've been to their factory at Stoke-on-Trent

hi I'm knew to this thread and i really like all the pics. white silkies are my favorite please post more pictures

Welcome!
I have new pictures to post for everyone.


This is One Eyed Bandit, aka Bandit. This little one somehow managed to get in the pen next door when he was about a week old. Next door live the turkeys and they didn't like Bandit. He got beat up a little bit, had a cut by his tail feathers and an eye injury. The cut healed up very nicely but looks like he lost his vision in his right eye.  I still don't know how he was able to get in with the turkeys. I haven't been able to find a crack or a hole ANYWHERE in between the pens... Smart little guy.
Well. Because he had so much handling when I was caring for him after the turkey attack, he's the friendliest chick out of all my chickens. He'll let you pick him up and hold him and he just sort of hangs out. I love it! I wish they were all like Bandit. lol


Then we had a little snack.




This little lady had a good drink of water. I'm pretty sure she's a little lady. Certainly keeping my fingers crossed.


And this young man! I'll be keeping him. My favorite rooster Curly is going to have some competition when this guy grows up. I haven't named him yet. Any suggestions?




So cute.





And the only buff I have. Can't figure out if it's a boy or a girl. So far all the chicks are looking like girls except for the two splashes. But they're only 10 weeks old so I could still be wrong. I don't know if I can be so lucky to only have 2 cockerels?

The splash is adorable. He looks like a Fritz to me. :/



That is very interesting Sonoran Silkies. I never knew that is what Wedgwood meant. Thanks

Like BisQuick!!!

Too funny. Bisque is an unglazed porcelain in dolls, of course it is also a fancy French soup!

I like anything that has that lavender color in it! Call it whatever, I'm in!!!

Thanks PeepBlessed! I always thought the same thing about ShowGirls!

I thought of the same thing.

They are all so beautiful. Love the leg and foot feathering on the little boy. He reminds me of the Ton Tons from the movie Return of the Jedi, but much prettier head

Thanks everyone!
All my chicks are out of Catdance eggs, so thanks to Karen I have this nice little splash boy.

I like the name Fritz. I'll definitely consider that one. And I do like Moe and Larry also but can't have another Moe. The original 2 chicks I ever had were Curly and Mo. Mo turned out to be a hen, so she was just Mo. lol And Larry...I have a friend named Larry. He's a nut. Can't name my nice little splash chick after that one.

Why is naming animals so hard??
