@darkbluespace I believe it was Hinotori that said Cuckoo or Paint Silkies will have black and white skin patches.

Hmm, it will be interesting to see if it gets darker. The spotted neck is super cute though.

Had to share this pic of my Silkie hen who adopted 7 Easter eggers. She's determinedly sit on all of them!

I tried posting my first-ever-BYC-post via the free-birds thread, but for some reason it would just log me out. So, I'll try to post here. Maybe I can't sell as my first post?

I hatched 4 silkies. All 4 roos! Lol. Just my luck.

Does anyone want 2 silkie Roos for free. One ridiculously friendly (wants to be picked up), and one that is a bit aggressive to anything that moves (but is such a tiny little wimp, he turns tail and runs as soon as you dont back down). Both are free to a good home. Both black with some brown/grey accents around the neck. I can post pics this weekend if anyone is interested. I'm not even sure if this post will appear.

Central Wisconsin, just west of Wisconsin Dells. I would love to trade for a silkie hen or eggs I can incubate.

Cuckoo will do that. I don't know how paint genetics work

So nice to be back up. I had to reset my password to log in. It didn't like the old one anymore apparently with the conversion.

So the latest batch is 4 weeks tomorrow. Someone isn't feathering in the right color. No idea what's going on here.

This little one is almost 2 months old now. Still not sure on gender and no one knew what to call the color so my hubby and I have named the chick Birch. It got its name because it coloring looks like a birch tree and so we have called the coloring of this little silkie birch at well. We are planing to breed for this color now with hopes of getting it a regonized color in the future. These Photos are from a month ago almost will take new photos today

Lovely silkie, I actually have a group of different silkies that I am growing right now and I have different varieties of shading of Grey's and silver penciled silkies, and around 2 look like yours and I messaged a shower that breed Grey's and she told me they are all different varieties of Grey's you might have a light penciled silkie!!!

They are partridge chicks from partridge parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. The chick is feathering in black. I haven't had that pop up before.
