MY one Little Silkie...The Cutest Sweetest Thang ever....
at first everybody said was it's a boy, now some say it's not....well either way it stays.
You Judge






it has barely a comb. I put it and a blonde EE in with my d'Uccles cause the tractor was getting to full..the EE sleeps on a little roost but the silkie climbed into the nestbox to sleep. Oh the d'Uccles are not happy about their new roommates...at all. The funny thing is they are somewhat scared of the silkie. I think they don't know what it is...

Well here is my pullet's foot, she's going to get even more feathery too since she is only 4 months. This is what you really want, los'a los'a feathers

Did you try posting them on craigslist? Or you can wait and bring them to a swap or show to sell.

here's one of my boys that I gave away as i don't breed whites...but he had beautiful foot feathering...but needed a larger crest...

It's normal for them to fear the silkies! They look so diffrent to them it's common for them to fear the silkies. But they get used to them after a while, so not to worry.

Love the way you can get a photo with all still in the bowl/ cup.

You have no idea how difficult it was to get them all in the cup, number one. lol And two, they really didn't sit still.

It was just that one split second when I took the picture and off they went again. There were chicks falling off everything. lol

And...Macho!

What a guy.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those feet!

I have a non-bearded blue pullet, should be about 7 months old now. She has way more feathers on her feet than that. I'm so sad that she's non-bearded and really not breeding material at all.

Yeah she's still feathering out

Should be nice and full when she's older. In just the month i've had her she has gotten twice as fluffy!

How much foot feathering should they have? Can someone post pics? Here is a pic of one of the roos, foot feathering. I really hate to send ANY of them off to freezer camp I did try and find homes for them

Hey Liz it's Gina from Paso I was wondering if u were a member here. I included some pics of the splash rooster I kept out of the chicks I hatched from you. I love him! I've had good luck saleing a couple roosters on craigslist and posting at local feed stores. Good Luck.



Post some pics of your catdance babies!

Peepblessed, she has been like this since I got her. I did polyvisol and vitamin e for the first week we he'd her, twice a day. Has not improved. I read on another thread that it sometimes happens when the chick has trouble hatching. She is fine otherwise. I don't have to worry about her needing to look up for predators, they will have a totally enclosed run/ranging area to themselves. I thought with wry neck they always looked upward?

. Yes, they can look in different directions. In the two cases I had they were born that way. They tucked their heads between their feet and backed up a lot. After they got better, they looked like your chick.

Know silkies seem to cope fine in cold but how are they in heat?

Have a heatwave on the way next week with Tuesday forecast to be 40 (104F)
