Silkie thread!

[poppycock1974]

We put stepping blocks up to the top, mine step/ jump 4-6 inches easily and one of our paints " flys" up 8-10 inches but looks very silly

Kind of like different levels of decks , I like to have them up higher and I believe they enjoy it too!!

Thank you! We talked about putting different levels up so the Seabright and OEGB will be less bored but I wasn't sure how low to put the silkie's

I've only seen silkies at our local stores once and that was last year when we got four, I was hoping to get some silkie eggs somehow and put under her next time she goes broody and then she can raise some silkie babies but I don't want her to have silkie/sex link babies. Especially since our sex link roo is just plain mean. Bites everyone and clawed my SO all the way down his side. Not the kind of roo I want fathering Danny's chicks lol if I can't find any silkies at the store though I'll see if anyone has eggs on Craigslist. Tsc ended there chick days but I think rural king and farm&home still have chicks. Last week farm&home's chick selection was not very impressive but I never did get to see rural kings.

I got my silkies at Rural king this year

It looks like we'll be going by our closest rural king today. I'll see if we can swing in and look

Can anyone tell me what color this little one is considered? She has the most beautiful champagne colored feathers. He/she is the product of a white Silkie roo and partridge Silkie hen. Thank you!!

Partridge most likely. May have leakage

I'd suggest just buying a chicken harness from amazon if you're looking for one. https://www.amazon.com/My-Pet-Chicken-VAL001-Purple-X-Small-Harness/dp/B00XIMO4MM

That is so cute! There are actual chicken harnesses specifically made for walking chickens on a leash.

Hurray! My two Blue Breda juvenile pullets arrived this afternoon from KS! These birds are so docile and nice with Silkies and aren't bad layers either.
