Silkie thread!

[Denise661]

...

I have a friend whose hen started crowing the day after they butchered the rooster.  AND, one of our silkie chicks did the same thing when we re-homed a crowing cockerel (3 months ago).  Whoever it was only crowed that one morning until BB (Bullet) crowed last week.  Then s/he has only "crowed" maybe 3 mornings in the last 2 weeks.  Now, 2 of my splash cockerels have started to crow on alternating mornings! 

I'm so baffled by "WHO" is laying the egg, that my son helped me put food coloring inside both blue silkies' vents.  (I'll need to buy new bottles of food coloring for baking because THOSE bottles are staying outside-hehe!)  We put green inside Mysty-Blue and blue inside BB.  The egg should have colored streaks from the hen that layed it.   I will keep you posted when we see the results of my experiment!

I am curious to know how much did you use and did you just drop it at the opening. I would like to do this to mark some of my laying hens eggs so I know who is who.]

OMG!!!! so cute...all of them...wait...I took some pics today.....let's see...




















Does everyone else find it impossible to get a great pic of their silkies...???? Every time my phone or camera makes a click/noise they stretch their head up and look at me as if to say...***'

WHOA NELLY! You've got yourself some beauties.

My chicks are 7 wks old and 2 of them have considerably lovely crests and a growing beard. The other 5 have sprouting crests and no beards at all. At what age should they have beards?

My boy from Catdance looks soooo much like Micah. I hope to get a good photo soon. Micah has a much nicer comb though! My boy's is huge!!

I'm waiting for a picture! Micah's comb has gotten bigger since that one picture, and his comb is really light in color.
