Took a picture of one of my favorite Catdance chicks today. A Porcelain that is coming along so pretty. Baby is twenty days old and cold outside so hunkering down but stood very still for a picture.

Gorgeous!!!

there very young.got them 6 days ago and one still had a piece of shell on its back.they started to get little feathers comming in after a couple days of having them. i would think they are between 7 and 10 days old. i'll try to get a pic.i figure their not top quality,but i hope their atleast pure.

So if I wanted to try and keep a small flock of Silkies to do work as my incubators and brooders, who is the best go to person in the Pacific NW? I know way back in the day Doddie Truedson and Marge Best had some great silkies, but that was then as they say, this is now. Are those still good people to talk to or?

I would contact Karen Larson.. I have a couple of her girls I had shipped to me and they are very nice. She is very knowledgable and it seems that most people I have talked with have been happy with their birds from her/

We went yesterday to Hardin poultry in Crumpled TN for my son to pick 5 silkie chicks out for his four H project(we came home with twelve tiny beautiful babies! ) They had some of the best looking chicks(ens) I have seen. Jonathan, took time to show us every bird he had and explain everything we needed to know. These people are awesome. Thank you again! I hope to get pictures of the babies up soon

Glad I found this thread! I love Silkies We recently got a bunch of new Silkies.
Here they are:

We also have a partridge rooster, Luther, who has a habit of crowing right in my ear. This is a common sight for me:

We have 3 grown-up Silkie hens outside: 2 blacks, and a white.
