Silkie thread!

[1chicken fan]

I've had a couple of nice hatchery chicks. This pullet is between 3 and 4 months old here, so just a baby in this picture. No baths or blow drys, just here being a regular chicken.

Yep knew I had seen a few gotta love white silkies, very nice!

I crack the eggs open and look for a bulls eye on the yolk.

I'm bout to switch my paints over to a new black roo and Sony think a month is good to wait before I let them hatch any to make sure the new roo is the baby daddy lol

too cute

Is it true that silkies are so Motherly that they will raise chicks for you? As in if in future I order chicks or eggs and give them to her to brood instead of me...

If she is sitting and in the mood to hatch, she will hatch a golf ball or die trying.

I have a question...
I have a splash roo with a lot of autosomal red on him. Would he still be considered a splash or something else?
Another question...
I have a buff rooster that I brought from a good quality breeder who assured me he was quality. However the more I look at him the more concerned I am. He is a truly clean buff, small in size, very compact, perfect feet, darker eyes for a buff, his comb is almost nonexistent but it is there. He is not impressive as a roo and really lacks manliness overall. His crest is lacking. I am worried about him bein able get the job done in the breeding pen. I have heard little Roos with tiny combs are hard to get bred naturally. I will try to get a pic of him up here. I wonder if I shoul hold onto him or replace him with another clean buff roo that I have?
Just needing some advice. Thank you all in advanced!

AI is always an option (artificial insemination) if you fins he is having a hard time. Have any pics?

Hey if anyone wants to add me on facebook it's Kayla Douglas (Herp queen)

I don't have enough to look at. BTW, herps are reptiles, just in case anyone was wondering.
