Everyone saying that she is grey.
I don't know how old she is, she is a bit bigger then the white girl i got at the same time as her.

I love the grey/silver! I think they are pretty rare.

I totally fell in love with her.
I did the high pitched squeeking when i first saw her, she was only 25 dollars!

I am wanting to get some silkie eggs to incubate, I have checked out a feew websites but this will be my first time ordering eggs so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on who I should order from or if anyone had any to sell?

I just asked that question on another thread. Except I specified. Those silkies that the eggs went for 240.00 this weekend. I don't think they get anymore perfect. In my eyes anyway. They certainly where fluffy for sure. I said the only way somebody would get any of those birds from me is if they pried them from my cold dead hands. lol I'm just curious as to their $$$ worth. I can see me making DH build a Fort Knox to keep them in. Electric wire just underground and 1/2 mess for the run. A concrete hen house with locks on the chicken door and the human door. CH/A, running water, septic tank, a fridge with fresh veggies to g with their chicken feet. A tub of meal worms. I think I'm getting carried away.

I'm wanting a nice Silkie, but I have my limit, as far as the price goes. Especially since I'm sure I'll be paying shipping too!
I'm interested in a pullet, but I'll likely get a pair, so up goes the price there too.

Thing is, I'm only wanting them for pets, but I'm trying to "treat myself" and get something with quality...

What color is that ? Lavender or splash, can't tell with my screen. Nice btw

This should show the color more accurately. She is in a shadow so it is a tinge dark. I believe it is considered lavender. I keep trying to get money set aside for the silkie colors book but can't seem to make it happen. That price point is just beyond what is within reach reasonably for me. The little one in front is the one who went to the vet and had crop surgery. She's scooting around with a little hole in her tummy and continually bloated but she's doing well.
