some pics from today...here is my splash (Charolette) I am thinking of taking to a show in Sept...and Ginger...the orange frosting girl




This is Ginger and her sister, Mary-Ann...both came from a paint egg...they both have some small paint spots but also both have this 'orange frosting'...only ginger has much more...


Here is Moon-Pie...do you think she is show worthy? Her crest is a little small...


Charolette


Mary-Ann




Ginger, and Mary-Ann are always hanging out together...they LOVE each other


Love the BUM shots....










and last but not least is my paint roo...Kel




and in full crow....

Oh...pooping board....well I don't have one and I have a hard time keeping it clean in there...didn't really think about that when I built the little coop for them in the corner of my fence only 4 foot high...I keep sand in my LF coop and it is sooooo easy to keep clean....but since the silkies sleep on the floor I figured sand would be too cold so I uses sort of deep litter method...a deep base of shavings mixed with DE...fluff shavings every week, sprinkle moreDE and then clean out entirely every month with new shavings...
Not the best or easiest method...I wish I could rebuild my silkie coop

Have you tried Sweet PDZ? It's as easy as Kitty Litter.....https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...-graphic-gross-poop-pictures/430#post_9503765 Check out this page, it's what I'm planning on doing when my new chicken shack is ready!

I have a new silkie hen, I'm wondering what colour you would call her, she reminds me of a tabby cat
very pretty, it could be she's a cross between colours, what do you think? Partidge?

I have a few with crossed colors too. They are 9 weeks old. They are splash x buff. I'm hoping they are girls, they are so sweet.
They're so ugly, they're cute!

Here is what my DH and I decided for the main coop:


They are all roosting on the roost and below them it's pdz. This product is fantastic. We were inspired by this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/621363/poop-board-convert-warning-graphic-gross-poop-pictures
We might make the same for the silkies but a miniature version though (lower and wider roost). The pic doesn't show but we added also a ladder for easy access. If anyone has a better idea please let me know.
