Silkie thread!

[Lil Peeps]

Eddie is a good name if the Silkie turns out a girl -- "Eddie" for Edwina!

That's so cute! I have a BB Red Bantam named Edwina. She is my baby.

Thanks. I found out that silkies are poseable at the tail end of summer. Ashes is fully cooperative. He's been handled a lot and doesn't move his feet from where he's been put.

That last picture is amazing quality.

I've just started collecting eggs and am really thinking about it.

I'd love to do this. Does anyone have 12-18 silkie eggs from good quality parents available in the next 3-4 days?


I want to keep my flock pure bred silkies. But want a variety of colors. Currently have buff and blue. Would like some paint, splash, white, black.

If anyone has some. Please shoot me a pm. (Again from good pure breed stock please). Not showing but don't want them to be barn yard mixes.

I keep my Silkies in-house if it rains hard all day - doesn't happen but a couple times a year - but anything to keep Silkies dry. One Silkie has CRD issues so I have to keep an eye on her in inclement weather.

I felt bad about locking mine in the coop all day so I let them out (it's rained all day)
They were mud balls.... They just got bathed & blow dried....
I will never ever let them out again in the rain, lesson learned
