Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[PippinTheChicken]

Crookie just ate my slice of cake!

That's too funny... my d'uccles cant be out any more when there is food out.. first thing they do when they are out is check the table!!!

I don't think I'd like to invite them to dinner!

My silkies are like there own little flock- along with two d'uccles, a red sexlink, a Columbian rock, and one little polish

D'uccles, silkies, polish? You have my DREAM flock! Throw seramas into the mix and I will die

Taking updated photos this morning of the silkie youngsters, when Hanabi, the honorary silkie, kept photo bombing! I just love her.

I think at that age, you might still have a pullet there... mine started laying at 22 and 24 weeks, so maybe anytime......

I know this is a silkie thread but....
The last photo just made my heart melt. She is SO CUTE. I think red is a nice cochin colour... @AngBantamLuv told me not to get blue because they're meanies. I was a bit scared in case (if I have to get cochins instead of d'uccles) the cochins are meanies- like that one Ang had that she had to get rid of- but that photo send me off the edge!!!

She is a real doll. She will fly up to my arm for cuddles. I honestly do not think color has anything to do with it. She was an only chick for 2 days and I carried her around in my hand so she wouldn’t peep all the time until I could get her some buddies. The white silkie in the photos is her bestie.
