You need to make a swing through Mid S. TN while you're running the roads. Its time for a big flock reduction around here. Yes, I lost control and let them win the battle over hatching.

There might also be a paint male available.

Robin if I decide to drive I'll definitely contact you and make a trip down to TN it's not that far really from where I'll be staying

I'm in central Indiana, Only 15 minutes off of I-70 if you going close to our area, you are welcome to stop by.

Don't be sorry, that was my reaction from the word go! Maybe I'll get lucky and a hawk or something will get him.

I don't think you'll get that lucky

I wish you lived closer, I would buy him from you and add him to my menagerie of "novelties" and rejects.

First one, not sure. It has a back pattern sometimes seen on reds, but feather colour does not look red. Second is probably splash, although it could be mottled. This little guy is hysterically mottled; I need to get more recent photos. Sweet bird, but lacking a lot of qualities of a good silkie:

Thanks for the invite! I wish driving wasn't going to be such a pain! I used to live right outside Ft Benning GA and I drove back to Kentucky all the time. Now it's a major trip

I would love an odd ball silkie thread I have some too!!

Sonoran how many silkies do you have right now? I'm always curious how many people keep that are really into silkies. What do you with your culls? Being nosey

edit to extend these questions to everybody, feeling super nosey right now

I currently have 4 silkies but I'm set up for 25 adults trying to be patient on expanding to max capacity but it's hard!!

 

[Smokehouse13]

We have about 40 silkies, they range from 2 weeks to adults.

 

[kfchickenlady]

I have 6 now, with 11 or 12 developing nicely in the incubator

In the process of building a Silkie Village.

 

[rilly10]

I don't have too many.... Just four groups:

Lav sg rooster with a black split hen

Blue roo over two black, one blue, and a splash sg

Lav trio

Porcelain trio

So not including chicks I have 13 breeders
