Silkie thread!

I read on the silkie club website of someone who placed drops of food coloring in the hens vent and you can see streaks of it on the eggs. I guess it's suppose to last for several days. It's worth a shot.

That's great you were able to get these! Congrats!!!

I know after my chicks not turning out to be cuckoo chicks I was very upset but this makes it so much better! If I can get a better picture of the roo he is beautiful. He almost has a frosted look to him.

Not familiar with the seller, but the feedback is really good. I say go for it!

I bought my cuckoo & black silkie eggs from her. Great wrapping, they made it to NY no problem. Most of the chicks are black, and two cuckoo, but I was supposed to have both black & cuckoo, so that's ok. The blacks look really good! The cuckoos are a project, so weirdness like a straight comb on one & the other getting red happens.

Definitely keep us posted; the chick is most unusual in colouring, and as I said, very pretty.

I have 4 wk old White Silkie chicks, however one has a very grey color to it's feathers--is that normal for white coloring?

Do you have pics? Some white silkies out there carry a I believe some call a smokey gene I have some. Some babies even hatch out blue and as they feather in look like a very smokey white color.
