Silkie thread!

[Regin]

I got these Friday!!! I could only convince the hubby on two... I wanted like four!
Anyway I named them "Puff" and "Fluff" What do you guys think?
Also any guess on the color of the second one? My guess is defiantly white for Puff but I'm not sure for Fluff!

Puff (left, yellow chick) Fluff (right, has more red/orange color)

I think Chick #2 may be self-blue (lavender)

The broodies, oh the broodies! Its definitely spring here, all of my Silkies and Sizzles are ready for chicks! I have 3 Silkies, 2 Sizzles and a bantam Cochin sitting on eggs right now. And I think 2 more Silkies are toying with the idea
Everywhere I go in my Silkie coop I hear "screech, growl, grumble, grumble".
And I have almost 100 eggs cooking in my incubators. Everyone went broody after the eggs had been in the 'bators about a week, of course

My chick was the same color her first few days, but her feathers are coming in with black spots. I thought she was buff but I guess not. Cute chicks! This is how much mine changed.

Hey everyone! I havent been on here in a while but I finished my huge chick brooder setup and wanted to show you all. I'm pretty excited [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR] [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR]

Wow what a beautiful brooder combo! Your craftsmanship is definitely top notch.

That's a buff. Sometimes they're just a bit mottly in the mings.

oh thanks! I have another that looks just like her but her wings are coming in the buff color without black feathers so I thought it was odd!

I had the same reaction when I first saw it in chicks a few years back. "What is this? I've been duped!". lol

This is my first time having chicks and it's been a little crazy! Her feathers tricking me and one with pasty butt. I think I got more sleep raising my puppy!

Here's a few shots of my kids. Any opinions as to hens or roosters? Thanks in advance!

Where did you get these silkies? They're beautiful! I feel like all the silkies in my area are not as fluffy.
