Silkie thread!

[peepblessed]

Thank you so much for those links to Birds and Eggs!!! OH MY-- she has a color called Silver Partridge that is AMAZING!!! I want those!!! LOL Is that an "official silkie color"? Anyone know? I'll have to put the Columbian on a long wish list since I can't show them and the whole point is for my kids to have fun with 4-H. Her birds are stunning!

I think you can show columbian in the AOV catagory. Silver partrige is also termed gray and gray is a standard color. Silver partridge have pencilling and grays don't but I believe a silver partridge can be shown as gray. Hopefully someone who really knows all this will chime in.

Kyla, the one I was saying doesn't like me, is a Silver Partridge from Birds and Eggs.

Pretty girl!

Very pretty!

Definitely a frameable photo! She is so precious! All four of my girls are super sweet and peaceful but my roo is very protective of the girls and the juveniles. He is fun to watch but he'd like to scratch my eyes out I think!

Thank you for the nice comments!
I don't always reply back because I don't want to spam up the thread too much!

I have one, and she doesn't like me too. Anyway I think mine has split wings maybe - something going on as they
look ratty. I'll see if I have a pic.

I have a silkie roo the same color as Kyla, but no like colored hens. What color would be acceptable to breed him to? Black? I'd really like more of the same color...
