Silkie thread!

Mr. Ace Ventura has now had his first bath ever!!

And he wasn't as dramatic as I thought he would be! He's about 9 months old. I think I'll start my next chicks with this bathing stuff a little sooner. lol

He wasn't much for posing either. I got a couple of nice shots. Ace insisted on taking a nap in the sun. Today was the warmest day we've had for a long time and all the animals were snoozing in the sun!








And look at those feet! Not the greatest feathering around but I was pretty impressed how his feet turned out after a bath. They looked quite sad before and I didn't think they were going to turn out that good.

Now I'm REALLY excited about taking this guy to our first show in April! I mailed the entries today!!

I remembered that his feet were unimpressive. I would be excited too!!! I rarely see a splash roo I like but this guy is really special!

I LOVE his coloring.

Thank you, guys!
Having this little guy definitely sealed the deal for me when it comes to splashes. lol If I had to pick just one silkie color, my favorite would be splash.

All the glory to Karen Larson for this cockerel! I hatched him from her eggs.

Very happy to have him.

I think it's common for any chicken who just begins laying. For example, here's a rundown of my white silkie and my EE for the first 18 days after starting to lay...

Day 1: Silkie (first egg)
Day 2: Silkie
Day 3: 0
Day 4: EE (first egg)
Day 5: 0
Day 6: EE
Day 7: Silkie
Day 8: Silkie
Day 9: EE
Day 10: Silkie
Day 11: EE
Day 12: Silkie & EE
Day 13: Silkie & EE
Day 14: Silkie
Day 15: 0
Day 16: Silkie & EE
Day 17: 0
Day 18: Silkie (soft-shelled)

so helpful, thank you!!!!!

still no egg today. I'm so disappointed

Do you think giving the wormer could have thrown her off too?

Where's Waldo?

 

[Feathersprings]

Was with other birds

Did it happen over night or was it ok earlier in the day.. could it have been at the bottom of a "Silkie Pile". I would pick it up and see if it is reactive. Can it be set up ? or is it too far gone for that. If you can, put it in a cage where it can be warm and away from the other birds. If you are able give some water from an eyedropper.. You need to assess its condition first. Hope is is still hanging in there...
