Silkie thread!

Very pretty flock you have there. Mine free range only under adult supervision too many hawks!

We don't have hawks here, at least not like you guys do. Bald Eagles are our only flying predator, and they are not common like your hawks are.

Also, lots of cover for them to run to if there was, and an LGD to help with ground predators.

agree first one is columbian then you have a calico and the third is ethier partridge or black with gold leakage

 

[sheeshshe]

Nope

I do have more. I have 4 cockerels (if you include the sizzles and frizzled silkie), 6 hens and pullets that are old enough to determine gender (3 more that are going to a new home), and I have 7 chicks that are 6 weeks old, 4 that are 9 weeks old, and probably 10 more in the brooder.

Here is Mama Janet with some of her chicks.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This baby looks like mine and I love him and wish I could find more like him. It is a Colombian, it also has nice black feathers in the hackles, hard to get in silkies. Here is a picture of my boy Animal.
