Silkie thread!

[Hinotori]

Im not 100% sure on age. But I have had her since June, so that's 4 months. And I have to assume she was a few months old when I got her. How long does it take them to get all their feathers and grow to that size? This picture was taken they day I brought her home.

A few days ago we adopted our first silkie, Sylvia (named after Sylvia Plath since we met & adopted her on Sylvia Plath's birthday). She's 14 months old and I assume her prior caretaker trimmed her feathers around the eyes? Such a sweet personality.

Yes please. Bright light or flash especially on a dark bird

She won't get a beard, she looks to be the non bearded variety. Still a very pretty Silkie.
