Silkie thread!

Had a good weekend with 2 of our girls in Frederick MD. Our blue girl Princess Fluffy went BV and our splash girl Hope went RV. Both girls are only 5mo and sure have started their show careers with a nice first weekend out.







So proud of my two young girls.. :)
 
Wow! So many beautiful birds on this thread. Can I just say something about this thread? Ahem...I have to say, that as long, and as many times I have come on here, I have seen nothing but nice comments, helpful comments, folks coplimenting one another on their hatches, their new live arrivals. Everyone makes them feel like they have the prettiest and cutest chicken in the whole wide world..well, we do..they are Silkies after all.

The only time I see someone comment on whether their chicken is show quality or not, is if it has been asked. Well done Silkie lovers! I have been to threads where folks are doing fine on the thread, chatting along, and here comes someone to stir up confusion in what has been said. They..knew the way it was, or is. Had to argue the point every time a comment was made. It's so fun to come on here and just read the compliments, and see the beautiful birds that are posted. Thanks for posting!
 

little hen :)

I think I would have named this little one...Dolly! What a doll! My white girl..Cotton, is getting bigger, she just started laying, but I think she has more growing going on. Or, maybe she will be small. My blue splash is bigger, and also laying.
 
My new friend for my silkie girls, hoping this rooster is quieter than the last! Woman I bought him from says he hasn't started crowing yet, but he's 5 months. He was SO gross and I think he had lice so he got a flea bath and a good scrubbing!

I agree! Thank you so much to all of the experts for sharing your advice, stories, pictures and opinions for us "newly hatched" to absorb like sponges! I have only had silkies for 2 years and was a bit intimidated about asking for opinions about my birds or a dumb question, but no one has ever said a sour word to me about it...thank you for making the silkie world that much more AWESOME!!
