Silkie thread!

Have to share with you 2 of my new babies. This is a new color for me (calico) and I am so excited about it!

This is Tara.



And this little one hasn't been named yet. I am told this is the color Tara was as a baby.



Can't wait to watch HER (hopefully) grow up!!

That baby is soooooo cute!!!! I just want a bunch of them running around my land. lol.

http://www.hattricksilkies.net/articles_truth.html Read this link very carefully! They have excellent photos and explain faults and DQ's. You will learn a lot by seeing these things on your own birds, as well. But these pictures give you a good idea of what you are looking for. I'm also keeping pictures of DQ's in my own birds for my own reference so I can see what has happened in my breedings.

Thanks for the info, I will be studying this.

Hi all!
I have a question: When do little cockerel's start getting streamers? At what age approximately? [The one below is about 7 wks old in this pix.]
Thanks!

Last time i checked the APA Sop. That color was not recognized.

Hopefully soon, they are so pretty and so different looking.

I usually start to see them between 3 - 4 months.

Where did you get these beautiful silkies from & how do you get them from other silkies?? What do you breed together to get this color combo???

I have the Hova Bator 2362N two of them and 1 genesis Hova. I like the 2362N the best though. I did hatch the polish tolbunts out of the genesis. That was the first time I used that one to hatch out of. I have all the other times used my 2362N. I keeps real temp doesn't lie about temp like the genesis one. But If I just crank up the heat on the genesis on and just go by the other 2 temp things I put in there then I am fine. I do like how it heats up fast and turns off right away when needed though. I do no t like the LG brands and everyone that I know and talk to say that there are junk. But I told you what I use. I hope that helps you.
