Silkie thread!

[silkielover1731]

yesterday you could see the veins and the embryo but today it looks like the embryo grew 2x its size and veins are very tricky to see now there is no blood ring but it looks big in the egg

Do you mean filed up as in black or filled with veins?

WOW-- this is an amazing looking bird!! Gorgeous!

ok, not the greatest photo for composition, but you can see the colors a little better in this photo.



Very front is a buff (3/8) then a white (4/3). Side by side is a black and a white from paint breeding (3/16). Then the baby buff (4/3) and a white (3/8).

Cute chicks!! Love all the fluff!

This is Butch my new 6 month old Roo!!

WOW! Beautiful roo!

This is one of my new hatchlings....It is 2 weeks old.

That's not a silkie is it? It's beak is yellow? But it is sure a cutie!!! Love his coloring!

What is 'vaulted' skull?

It's an opening in the skull that allows the brain to protrude like the soft spot on a human baby. It is often desired as it can create a bigger crest. Here is a photo of two day old chicks side by
side. One is vaulted and the other not.

My daughter raised these chicks from an experimental breeding last Summer between a white sport (from a bbs line) and her best splash cockerel. They resembled partridge as chicks, but are they truly partridge or are they just "mixed"? We've never raised partridge, so I don't have a clue really.
There are four different pullets here. The first two pics are of Jasmine...she is a very light powdery blue. The other three are darker. I have more pics of wing pattern, etc. if that will help identify the colors.
Thanks for your help

Really beautiful birds!!

I hatched this one and 3 more out 1 month ago. What color do you think it is? It is supposed to be Porcelain. What do you all think?

This photo is a bit difficult but it is definitely not porcelain. Looks partridge to me but could be grey.

BTW--- what color is s/he???

OMG! That last photo is priceless!!! You should definitely enter that in a contest!! I hope you can get some info on breeding you broody from someone who really knows. She is so nice! How about breeding her with a black roo? Just an idea but I don't really know what's best.

If you are talking about your chick, I have had several splash babies that look just like yours. They often don't get their spots for 2 or 3 weeks. They just look kind of dingy white.
