Thanks everyone..I would love to have a silver or blue partridge..I will have to post more pictures in a few weeks. On the eyeliner, I hope that it doesn't hold true to what they've said in the past, because this little one has it! I want a girl..of course! )
Or did they say the eyeliner meant girl..? Either way, crossing my fingers that it is a girl, with beautiful eyeliner. No make up required.

It looks like I have ended up with 2 buff roos and 1 pullet, so obviously I don't need 2 roos. What avenue would be the easiest way to get rid of my extra roo? Try to sell it or give it away, or try to trade for a different breed of roo (I could use a Polish or D'Uccle roo)?

I live in the middle of farm country and have mostly large fowl. My farmer neighbours are gradually getting used to the fact that my chickens aren't really just livestock to me - although they DO appreciate the eggs and the culls. But my Silkie avatar, Elliot, did me proud today. One of the old time farmers came by with her grand-kids to pick up some eggs. My birds free-range and as chickens go, they are nutty friendly but NOT used to "short" humans with loud voices and excess energy. My Blue Copper Marans cock behaved. He was worried and did lots of humming but he didn't give anybody any grief. Elliot, on the other hand, marched right up, introduced himself and was happy to be petted and carried awkwardly. Goofy boy. The kids were THRILLED. New Silkie fans, in the making!! (Although grandma was quick to take me aside and say she didn't need any Silkie culls. Too many feathers on those legs and no comb!

)

I DO love livin' in farm country!!!

Barbara, those short humans scare even me! Glad to hear Elliot survived.
