Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

I've never seen that colour but she's very pretty!

I'd describe her as a creamy tinted silver lavender partridge

I'm not sure her colour has a name but maybe someone else may know.

I've got some blue x whites due to hatch and I really hope some of these beauty's pop out!

Haha, i cant wait to see them!

Well the father is blue, and the mom is white... so not Silver Partridge I don’t think...

Your blue most likely is silver based. The pattern on the silkie is Partridge.
Since blue is black based, & can have silver influence, & he was bred to a white hen, breeding black to white results in unpredictable colors in the offspring.

It's great your husband supports you and I think that's a great place for you to start with your journey with your birds!



Oh yea! I was also suggested Mayo

Mayo would be silly.

Likewise! They're due on the 30th

I've just got to call one Spook becaue of that.

Mayo would be silly.

That is true...although, I also walk outside and shout of my gold Silkie Carrot!

Try and get one (or two!) they're a lovely colour



Haha well I'll look forward to seeing them!

I don't think that a haircutting job is in the future for me.
Thankfully they're chickens and I can't understand what curse words they're saying to me.

I bought some plastic spiders today and I'm planning a little photo shoot with one of my white hens.

She's going to be the cobweb

Maybe it's best we never know what they're saying about us

I wonder though...

You're funny.
We need a chicken we can name Nugget sometime.

Should I dye Poof to look like a Pumpkin, & enter her in the Halloween costume contest?
