Silkie thread!

[Sanna]

Make sure he's good and dry!! have a great day!!

He was very dry. He's still not too happy. I'm hoping he'll spark up when I take him to the show and he'll see & hear all the other birds. For the next show, I'll bathe him a couple days before and put him in the barn so he'll have plenty of time for his pity party and feel better by the day of the show.

anyone?

I have no idea.

I bathe mine the day before, they perk up by the next day.

anyone?

You might try scrolling through the hatching eggs thread to get some general pricing, then if you find some matches compare their pictures to your birds. Often paint eggs are sold with other colors but you should get a good idea.

I would like to know if it would be worth breeding my white non bearded silkie. Any thoughts or opinions will be greatly appreciated. She just started laying a few weeks ago.

She could use a larger crest but other than that she's a very nice girl! Hope you can find a nice non-bearded boy for her.

Thank you! She was a bargain too I only spent $5 on her.

What would result from breeding a her to bearded male?

How do they SEE? Are they noisy? Any drawbacks?
