I am reading this thread from the beginning and am only on page 195 but I had to stop long enough to post how excited I am to have won Kelar's auction for 24 Silkie eggs tonight! Up to now I've only had LF (mainly hatchery hens from last year, great brown egg layers and 3 beautiful Cochins I hatched from Oregon Jen's eggs). I bought some mixed banties at the feed store but now that I have the Silkies on the way, those guys will probably be finding new pet homes.
Almost as exciting, I am heading up to Stephenson WA for the Silkie & all breed shows next weekend. Fortunately my mom will stay behind and keep an eye on my bators.
I am really enjoying reading the posts on this thread and seeing all the beautiful pics. Bummer that some of the photos are no longer visable. What a great bunch of Silkie lovers! And so much great information.
Hope to meet some of you at the shows next week.
