Silkie thread!

[PNWGirl]

I just received my eggs from Catdance

My little Lacy girl is being a good momma and is taking care of her clutch. 21 days and counting, LOL. I really want a Buff, Lavender, Partridge, and Splash so say a prayer that they all hatch for me and are girls

I'm sooooo excited!!! Thanks Karen.

That red on it's wings looks so vibrant...I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a partridge like this...but then, I'm kind of a newbie. I have a partridge egg from Catdance...I wonder what it will look like?

Karen's partridges range from very light (some look almost silver) to very rich, in color. I would have a hard time choosing, if I had to pick. I just love her birds!!

I am new to the silkies can someone please tell me the difference between a cuckoo silkie and a silkie? Was just noticing someone had pic of silkie and someone said thats a cuckoo. Ok now remember I'm new so don't laugh. Anyone got any pics of cuckoo's so I don't go cuckoo trying to figure out if I have cuckoo silkies or silkies. Anyone confused yet I am LOL

I'm so excited!!!

Partridge silkies are color-sexable, right? Can anyone tell me if this is a girl or boy? Thanks!

Cuckoo is a color of silkie just like Partridge, Black, White... etc.. The cuckoo color is a barred pattern


This is from Feathersite.com and you can go there to see more pics of the cuckoo color if you're still confused. Hope this helps

Is this a lavender chick?

Too dark for lavender. Likely blue.

Partridge need to be 8 or 9 wks to sex. Your chick has an extra long beak and may need trimming. It would be good to keep an eye on it so it doesn't get so long it becomes difficult to eat.

Thank you - I noticed the beak and was wondering. I will give it a little trim, I am doing the dogs' nails tonight, might as well do it at the same time.
