Hi All. I have a group of Silkies (14) that are now 8 weeks old. Lord I can sit with them for hours at a time, they are great fun. From what I have learned from this site, a red comb is an absolute no-no, and one of my favorites- a redish roo, exhibits that trait. He is really outgoing and fearless and beautiful, but I want to breed the best that I can so I guess if anyone is looking for a funny little pet, he is available. I'll post some pics next week and ask everyone to weigh in on possible colors. Don't stone me
but I purchased them from McMurrays, and surprisingly, some of them are looking fairly good. I live in Easton , MD if anyone would like the boy for a pet. Thanks to all the people here who love their chickens and offer their experience and knowledge to draw from! Carol Heisterhagen
