Silkie thread!

[yoie]

Ok, I have someone interested in purchasing a black silkie pullet. I have two silkies, one I'm almost sure is a pullet the other I go back and forth on. I figure I'd post their pics here to see what you all thought. They were hatched out end of Feb beginning of March. Sorry about the pics being a little blurry, didn't realize it till I posted here

The one I suspect is a pullet


This one has a larger comb, but it doesn't scream roo like my other two that I'm 100% sure are roos

I may be totally wrong.. But this one says cockerel to me... AGAIN, I may be wrong...

I have a Splash Silkie Catdance Roo ("Snowman"), hatched 1/26/11, who is available. I'd love for him to go to someone who could use and love him. He's a real sweetheart, as are all Catdance's Silkies. He is happy and healthy; we're clearing out our current stock to make room for some new breeds.

Anyone know someone who could give him a good home? We're in Kitsap County, WA.

Man! If I had someplace to put him, I would take him! I just have too  many growing out in too many different places right now.

I felt the same way KMH. Don't have any room for him right now. Then I also remembered that roosters are illegal here. Oops.

Thanks. I can't wait to tell my son...

He was going to be showing Leila with the cloverbud group of our local 4h club. Now he has nothing to show. Can't show Roger cuz he still hasn't grown all his crest back in from his scalping.

I am so very sorry. Many, many

Also, I use permithrin drops on the birds... Another BYC-er gave this tip out. I take 1 part permithrin to 3 parts water. I mix it in a glass dropper bottle with a glass dropper... One drop on the neck, one drop on each foot it its legs mites, and treat again in 10 days, this is for silkies... I use 2-3 drops if its a LF bird. Cheaper than buying frontline, or anything like that, and it has the same active ingredient. I used it on my Faverolle Roo Mr. Fluffers. Worked great.

Frontline does not contain permethrin; it's active ingredient is fipronil.

Definitely a rooster. And until he lays an egg-- I stand by that one! LOL!! His flattened out crest says 'rooster' too.

Are you sure you have "black" silkies? This one is a Blue.

These are very properly coloured splash.

Thank you!

Huh... No kidding. Thanks, I feel stupid now for just taking the other BYC-ers word for it and now repeating it. However, I do stand by permethrin solution she told me to make. It worked wonders on my mite problem.
