Thankyou so much Amy! Competition is going to be very tough at Farm Show, over 2,400 birds entered. Even if any of my birds get BB I'll be overjoyed. The boys from your group are just now starting to mate and I cant wait until I can start incubating their eggs. I'll have three breeding pens this season. Pen #1 will have two black cockerels over black pullets (strictly just your line). Pen #2 will have a blue cock from Brody's Broodello and a black cockerel from you in with blue, splash, and a couple black hens. Pen #3 will be my partridge silkies, mainly my project pen in achieving correct color and type.
The one black cockerel I kept back is perfect except for 4-5 gold leakage feathers in the hacckle. He's the one I'm putting in with my blues/splashes. The other two cockerels have not the greatest wingsets but hopefully with my breedings I'll have that corrected.

When is the show? I would like to attend!

Great! Looks like I will be there on the 8th or the 15th. Is there a certain for the show or is that all week long?

Amy- I have been having terrible hatched too! Only about 1 out of 5 eggs will develop as compared to a month ago when I had 3 100% hatches in a row. They haven't been cracked due to freezing, but it is very cold here. Just to be sure I added more windows, and trimmed everyones bums up, but do you think the cold has a huge effect on fertility? I have not seen any blood rings...just clear eggs. Sorry if this is a DUH question but this is my first year hatching my own eggs.

PS- I can't wait until spring so I can get on your wait list for some chicks!

I am really going to be focusing on my blacks this spring.

Same applies here.

If it has a name, it's off the menu. But if it's a Silkie, it doesn't need a name. It's still off the menu.
