Silkie thread!

[Debbi]

I'm totally bummed after going to a big animal swap today. I was hoping to find silkie hens there. I would like some other colors. Needless to say, I came home empty handed.

You might be in luck! I am selling out of my Partridges, due to wanting other colors more, and a severe lack of space! A woman was supposed to pick them up today, but had a family issue at the last minute, so she can't. I see you are in St. Louis, I am about 1 1/2 hours to the south west of there. If interested, send me a PM or e-mail.

Someone gave the silkies chicken crack ( scratch corn and oats) when they weren't supposed to...the teenagers were going nuts for it - LOL

That's what I call it too! You should see them all in the winter, lined up by the gate, jumping and whining like little junkies waiting for their morning fix!

Very very rare this time of the year... This is breeding season for alot of people and there are only a few reasons they would get rid of females right now. Even the pet quality gals can be used as broodies. Right now you are seeing the egg-eaters, the extremely old ones that aren't producing anymore, or sometimes the ones that pull from their growout pens because they aren't good enough. Bet bet right now is to buy a box full of chicks from someone and hope to get a few girls out of the deal. Late fall is when most breeders narrow down on stock and sometimes you can pick up some decent pullets/hens then.

100% Agree! I know it's hard but your best bet is in the fall. Hope you find some great girls then!

LOL..Yes, he is here! It wasn't funny at the time but now looking back if anyone would have seen me they would have thought I was crazy! I heard a commotion buy the bushes. Henry must have called all the youngsters under the bush when he seen the hawk coming. I had seen the hawk on top of Henry so I go running over and realized I had a wooden spoon in my hand. Here I was all ready to take this hawk on with a wooden spoon! LOL

Hopefully a very long handled wood spoon!!
