Silkie thread!

Thanks! Are partridges rare? I may have to call and find out for sure which hatchery they came from, just because I'm curious. I really had settled on the blues and whites, but at this point, I'm happy with whatever. 5 feathered toes, dark skin- yep, should be the right breed!

I honestly have no clue if the color is rare or not but i wouldn't mind getting some of my own!

Three of my beautiful babies that are coming home on Sunday. Splash roo and 2 blue pullets from Obsessively Silkie. I got this picture from Geri last night and have been walking on the clouds ever since.



I can hardly believe these beautiful creatures will soon be in our arms.

We are getting 11 total this weekend and they are our first silkies.

Here is our other lovely trio from Linda at Twin Maple. Yeah! Paints!! They are 3 months old.



We are also picking up 2 splash, 2 white and one lone buff (for my youngest son) from CJ tomorrow.

Forgive me for going on and on, but I cannot believe it is finally time!!

My BRs are the most aggressive out of all my girls! They are fine with the others, but boy, nobody else better get in their way when they want to eat! Silly girls. The peepers really have helped them, even though they went right back to it when we took them off.

It's such a stressful behavior, and I'm not even showing anyone! I have one EE I'm trying to figure out if she's plucking her own chest or if it's someone else. She was the one that was the final straw because her butt was bald and got bloody. In a perfect world, we'd separate everyone out in a penalty box if they are being naughty! At least get the ones you are showing out, if you can. ...............

Hmm.. so it's not just my BR's that are bullies in the pen. I would love to show off my Polish, but the poor things are missing a lot of tail feathers. Sigh. Yeah, those Pinless Peepers are definitely a life saver around here. I don't mind them wearing them-- they still get around fine and I think they are kind of cute. I have Yellow and Pink peepers-- so they are very 'summery'. ha!

Zack, the lighting on this is too dark at the top-- I can't see her head very well. I think her crest looks okay.... but it's so tough to see. Her wings look nice, though. Maybe you can take her outside and try to get a better picture of her. But I think from what little I can see-- she's really nice.

I was so excited to be able to get them!! I can't wait to get my hands on them. Sunday can't come soon enough!

I just got my chicks from Geri this morning!! Nine little white fluff balls to supplement my poo-poo hatch (three out of thirty-six!)
They are gorgeous!

Congrats! Geri has some AWESOME birds I have a bunch of partridge chicks growing out from her

Lovely!! Really love that little girl. She's precious.

I think I figured out what was wrong with my new shipped white cockerel. He was lonely. He was not eating and barely drinking and when I put him in a pen with three pullets(that are going to a show this weekend) he started eating and strutting around . I guess I will keep him in there until I get some girls for him. There is a couple pictures and a video below of him. The yellow stuff on his chest and feet is vitamin water.He is 6 months old and his name is Edgar.

I think hes happy. Do you?


Also, here is a picture of my blue silkie pullet after a bath. She and two other chickens are going to a show Saturday. Its the same pullet that I posted a while back ago.Shes still a tiny bit wet in this picture.
