Silkie thread!

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.







I agree with Peepblessed, it looks like you have, blue, black and splash. Really cute!!!!
What about the little guy sleeping in his back? Is he/ she ok? Can he/she walk properly?
 
One of my little splash hens is sitting on her egg today. :) One thing tho, is we have an issue with doors. We have to change the coops make the doors for the Silkies to go out. I take them all out on nice days (into a covered run/pen), bring them in at night. Should I let her out some during the day? It's going to get cold soon, don't know if the egg will get too cold.

And....on another note.... CATDANCE EGGS ORDERED (my Christmas present).

I will leave her alone and just make sure she has food and water available.
Congratulation on your eggs!
 
Yay for your hen! ;) Just me but I would just probably leave her in with access to food and water. She probably wont care about going out. What color eggs?? I sure am loving the girls I got from Karen :)

I won't have Karen's eggs until Wednesday. This is a little creamish white that the pullet laid :) No offense to Showgirls- but....the showgirl is the Dad. He, and 4 other boys are rehomed now- moving out this weekend :)

When I went out to feed them/let them out- she got up and was ready to go out! She's not that commited to being broody yet, maybe after a few more eggs are laid.

I am looking to rehome my showgirl cockerel "Magic Mike" as well :) I like them but dont have tons of room right now for anything other than the silkies. He is also the only one that doesnt stay in his pen so pretty soon will be having him making his own breeding choices lol!

I love his name! LOL

Seems wrong to call a cockerel "Show Girl" though. :gig
 
My little Isabel's chick is turning into such a little cutie! Only about 8 weeks old, I feel like it's a boy. The name is Boots, because it looks like he's wearing feather pants and boots.


Finally got a black cockerel
