Really pretty chick! What color are the wing feathers that are just growing in?

Thanks! They are the purple/grey color--kinda light

Hi everyone!  Haven't been on here in a while.  Busy hatching chicks this spring/summer!  Here are some pics of my some of my silkies

Hi Pam, great photos! I also love buff, what a beauty you have! Tina G.

Here is a pic of a nice Buff Silkie hen (small crest) that I had years ago.

Lovely!

Steve is soooo handsome!  I love the coloring especially with the black feathers on his tale.

Thanks! He is such a sweet boy. He fathers all of my chicks in the grow out pen. Honest to God.. He is a broody rooster without all the talking the moms do

I just put 21 RSL chicks in the grow out pen with the silkies (it also houses my broodies and injured hen with a bad leg) and I caught one sleeping on his back last night while he was standing there. It was the cutest thing ever!

Those are definite personality traits I want to pass on. So far all of the babies are better quality then their parents.

A breeder I know said that sometimes lower quality birds throw better quality offspring than high quality parents. It's all about matching the pairs up properly. I guess you can think of it the same way in humans. I know a few really good looking couples that have really ugly kids, and vice versa
