Two new white fluffies I just hatched last week from eggs purchased through BYC

I am very pleased with them both!

Are there large fowl and bantam silkies? I have 4 babies I purchased from someone local who didn't tell me where she got them, these 4 are bigger than my silkie rooster and they are only 6-7 months old! Is it possible they are large fowl silkies?

There are LF Silkies in the UK and surrounding areas (Europe), but not in the US yet-though they are being worked on. Only banties recognized here. However, I've seen Silkies ranging from all varieties of sizes-depending upon their origins and breeding lines. I've seen some hatchery males outsize my show boy by over two times.

It could be that these are hatchery, but they seem so nice for hatchery quality. I'm hoping all 4 don't turn out to be males! They are just our pets, no plans on showing or breeding.
