Silkie thread!

You can use one of those small chicken waterers. Just add some rocks or marbles in the bottom, so they won't drown.

I wanted to share a picture of Cali from yesterday. She has some red in her crest from the sun.
I have more shade for them in their pen now, so I'm hoping that will help after she molts..

It's my experience that the silkie boys just loove a bantam cochin girl! This seems a great idea!

Well, I'm thinking I might just buy another type of hen for him... something his size, like a Cochin or something.

I also had to laugh over the purple/blue shampoo exchange. Not cause I have any experience with it--sounded like a great idea to me, too, at first--but I did hear once about a lady who probably would have won best in variety for her little girl, or so the judge told her afterward, except that she'd accidentally dyed the bird pink/purple so he couldn't give her the win. When I read the story, I thought it very odd and wondered how you could accidentally dye a bird pink...apparently we just learned!

My blue silkie boy is living with the big girls now and his two girlfriends are two ameraucanas...I think your boy will find his mate if you give him someone...

I've used it a lot on horses. I guess feathers just aren't the same!

And thanks to all those who commented about my situation. I use to have a frizzled cochin hen, and I really wish I had her now. She would have been perfect for him. He actually reminds me of her, as far as personality. Anyway, I contacted a friend who has chickens to see if he has any cochin girls or anything about that size (he has a mixture of breeds, so maybe!).

* NOTE, no silkies were harmed in creating the above photo, but two were quite humiliated.
