Here are a few more of the Craigslist group I posted yesterday

The only boy



beardless black girl..



Bearded black girl..

WOW! What a find! Like treasures in a haystack!!

what colour would you call this

I think you call this silver partridge, but not completely sure. It's some kind of partridge though.

I'm happy to debut the 4 chicks from Mr. Puff (splash rooster) and Mysty Blue (dark blue hen).
<Here are the mom and dad
I was expecting a hatch of 50% splash, 50% blue from these parents, but think there is 1 splash and 3 lighter blues (which I love).

<Just moved into the incubator.

<They are getting curious about the food.

A couple of the babies seem to have a tint of brown on them even though parents are from bbs and bb pens?

Is this just egg yolk or fuzz that will change to light blue?

I wouldn't worry about color until they feather in. I love Splash birds.

I have 12 silkies and there very calm there all pets every single one

I hope the 3 feather in light blue. And, I hope the splash is a pullet. Eventually I'll add a black rooster into the BBS pen along with the splash rooster. That is once I have more hens.
What do you all think about those "chipmunk stripes"? They kind of baffle me too.

She's the mama of the grey and the porcelain I posted pics of a few pages back

Just got these little girls on New Years Day. Just wanted to show them off. They are 12 weeks old.

My two cockerels crowing, and just some footage of the silkies walking around the yard.
