Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[Gammas Bearded Babies]

I have construction sand.. and lots of it. You pretty much have to dig and dig to hit the soil, which is like concrete when its dry and pb when its wet.. but there's enough sand to not be bothered by either scenario. But for you, id wonder how it would do not only w rain, but possibly iced/frozen water. Might make it difficult for your chickens, maybe too cold, but im not sure how cold it gets normally for you (minus the weird days that we are all getting).

Yeah idk what to do...someone on here in very similar climate said sand is definitely a no cause of the rain.
How did yours do when yall had that massive cold weather last year?

Good luck with your move. May it be safe and fast.

Just curious, have any of you ever bred or know someone who has bred a chocolate and blue silkie? The offspring would be splash with hints of chocolate I imagine. It seems like a pretty color combination.

I would like a larger crest on him, but... that is offset by the small walnut comb he has and a color pattern that will fit right in here.

some of my silkies have huge crests and I have to trim them.
