OK, pictures.
Her today standing. No streamers and she is very mellow. And a picture of her comb. I guess it's not colored just gray.

Thanks for your help!

Very sweet looking

Chickster I hate swaps. I rarely go and wish I hadnt gone today. I doubt if I could deal with an auction at all. I just tried to weed out the birds that i thought I could not use in my breeding program the best I could. I have advertised on craigslist and been able to 'screen' the people somewhat I want to sell to and it is much better that way.
Today was a bad day. I sold one pair of bantam leghorns only and then later walked around and found out that the person who got them had chickens that were in very poor shape. I feel so bad for my poor leghorns chickens but is too late to do anything. I am vowing to not go to any more swaps or auctions. Then I lost $20 somehow on top of it.
I did get a pair of buff silkies though but am still sick about my poor leghorns.
cinersga it is exciting. Mama will probably sit pretty tight while they are hatching and afterward for a day or so. I am sure she will do a good job though. When I first started using an incubator I was just too nosey and wasnt good for the chicks hatching. It is very hard to just sit on your hands and watch them hatch in an incubator. lol At least for me. Im

Tiki244 that stinks and I'm sorry for your bad day...I've had a bad day too if that helps

For sure Tiki, Lacy is not budging from her clutch of eggs for me to see anything. I check on her a couple times a day, she has food and water in her cage. I don't plan on hatching lots of eggs...right now I am freaking out where I'll put these once they are too big for the cage in my house, hahaha

I like his body.

I love the silver hackles. I would consider buying him as a pet, Depends on where you live I guess. I live in Wisconsin.

Okay...thank you all for slapping the sense back into me....I will offer him up for sale before I get MORE attached to this handsome, sweet dude! And Tiki, I'm in Ohio - a pleasant little roadtrip from the Badger state! I'm right on the way to the Nationals in Columbus so you are more than welcome to stop on your way down!

....REALLY! All of you fellow silkie lovers are welcomed!!!!!

Do not, under any circumstances, buy an incubator!!!!

You will be hooked and spend the rest of your life with your nose pressed to the little window. I've even been known to take an incubator with me on vacation with an adapter so it can be plugged into the cigarette lighter in the car.

Chicks are magic, put in an egg and get out a chick

OMG, so that's what I did wrong! Now I know why I'm on my third hatch already when I only planned on hatching a few birds for laying. I totally get it now!
