VERY EXCITING!!!

Thanks I am so happy about it. I can't stop smiling. It's like the day I told my H I wanted a few hens and he said to "Go for it" It's like Christmas!

Does Juliet look young in the pic?




Do any of you have just 1 silkie?? Do they need a same breed buddy?

Possible Splash Silkie? These are some of her new feathers. They are grayish and have some black.

Hello everyone! I need help figuring out what color my Silkie chicks are turning out to be. I purchased these eggs as white, black, blue, and splash eggs. Some chicks hatched out silver to dark silver colored and others hatched out white. I thought that these silvery chicks would turn out to be blue or splash... well, they're now 6 weeks old and have feathered out completely white. They are indistinguishable from the white ones now. Are these silver-born chicks really just white? Why the difference in color when they were hatched? Thanks!

Some pictures to see the difference in color when they were hatched.

Could be silver gene whites. They are grey at hatch. They will be a brighter, cleaner white than the yellowish chicks

Thank you, that's interesting. There's still so much I need to learn about Silkies!

I have a dozen eggs ready to ship. Any takers? $35 / dozen Box of chocolates. B/B/S white partridge. Not sure what you will get but they will be fluffy.

Any idea what color the chick on the right would be considered?
