Silkie thread!

[missy5]

I love these silkies. I finally got some this past spring. I hade to drive 9 hours but it was worth it. Here are a few pics. I realy don't know anything about silkies but i have been loooking for two years. They are the most gentle chickens i've ever had. The only problem i am having is colour. I have two splash, two black, and three white. I have two roos, one black and one white. When eggs started hatching i was very surprised. (not that eggs were hatching) lol. The colours of some of the chicks is hard to figure out. I have included pics (if i did it right that is). One pic i had to add because everytime this chick would sleep he lays with his legs spread. The first couple of times i checked on the incu babys i thought this chick had passed. Anyway here they are, can anyone tell me if some of these chicks are blue? Thanks Angie.

Can someone post or explain the SType and YType bodies they should have. I forgot to ask Marge what type she has. I can ask her, but would also like to see the difference. Thanks

Well, I dont know about a "y" type body... I know I like to see pullets( more so) and roosters both with an "s" shaped body. I dont have a lot of pics on my laptop but they should set up with the neck sort of curved back and the nice big chest creating a sort of "s" shape

Ok Silkie peeps, I will be popping in from now on. I just got 4 one and a half week old Silkies from Marge Best for my DW today. She fell in love with one at the fair this summer and have been working to get them since. Nice early Christmas present. One Dark Blue or Black, she couldn't really determine. A Paint, a Porcelain and a Partridge. Yay

Congratulation on your new silkies

Would you mind adding some pictures, I will love to meet them!

post a photo and you'll get some additional opinions.  Also, a henny feathered male will be patterned and coloured like a female.

What is a henny feathered male? Haven't heard that before.

Will take a photo in the morning v
