If you aren't showing, trim them. I use the kiddie scissors, without the pointy end, just in case they jiggle too much.

I have read differing opinions on how to keep the feathers around their eyes so they can see, I have read that some pluck and some trim? Is one better than the other, I do not want to hurt silkie so I am leaning more towards trimming?

Oh, and I know nobody believes anyone without pictures, but....

I just picked up some paint babies!

Pics to follow, if they ever sit still.

another one from a friend- looks like i'll have a couple pens, for SQ and Pet quality.... but i can't turn them away- this guy my friend got me- poor guy was at an auction crammed in a cage he couldn't stand up in, so was laying down...
