Tootie , im not sure they were trying to be smart i think honestly they were just correcting you for my dumb knowledge lol
I found it very humerus actually as i was trying to figure out what a cone was. I have only had chickens 4 months know and have
learned so much from this site and thought i was doing good till i heard cone.
seriously i think it was only to help the dumb newbie (me) out . dont be offended. hope i didnt offend you
i truly appreciate everyone knowledge and input
Quote: Yes, I agree with daniellecm. Their are lots of people that call combs cones here and that's no big deal. There are lots of different names for chicken, their combs, wattles and feathers.
But daniellecm, I don't think your a dumb newbie at all.

Thanks !! I have learned so much on this site its crazy. who knew there was so much to chickens and why i have i missed out on this all my life !! I have always loved animals and always had cats dogs and horses how could i not have chickens ! So i got myself some Dom's
and they are lovely (not laying yet) and then i couldnt resist and got two silkies. Well they are the most entertainment i have had in years !
My friends truly think ive gone wacko but i dont care , if they only knew lol
Lol. So do my friends! They all think I'm crazy when I talk about how awesome my chickens are.

Catching up on the thread, not sure if anyone already answered you about this. Please check out the INDIANA BYC'ers HERE! thread. They are really friendly and many people have silkies. You can also check out this google doc, which the members maintain. It lists out all the Indiana BYC folks, what kinds of birds they have and where they live. You can easily sort to see who to contact or just post on the thread and I am sure you'll get some answers.

Its funny isnt it and the great thing is having these little guys around almost make me feel like a little kid again and provide so much entertainment.
Even my husband who thought i was nuts at first had grown quite fond of the little silkies.
Look on amazon.com and look At the huvabator from the incubator warehouse . I love mine and have had a great hatch rate!
Thanks, I'll take a look.
