I don't really want to breed them, so maybe that will keep me from buying so many!

anyway, does anyone have any pics of silkies from CJ's silkies that they have hatched? I am getting 2 doz. next month and am super excited and was wondering how pleased others are with theirs...thanks

I got 2 dozen eggs from CJ this summer but had a lousy hatch rate due to my own fault (my humidity was way too high I guess, I didn't know about dry-incubating then. All but 5 or 7 of the eggs developed to full term, but then all but 4 died in the egg, so, I'm pretty sure it was my incubating.) ANYWAY, I got some lovely boys from the hatch. (All 4 that hatched turned out to be boys, lol.) Here are some pics of 3 of them..























I love them. They have the best personalities, I took them to a local event and there was constantly kids & people coming over to pet them. They LOVED it. They love being held and snuggled too. (Of course, don't all Silkies?

)

ETA: These boys were almost 17 weeks old when the pics were taken.
