Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Here are some pics... so excited. It fits up to 12 LF Chickens.. so 8 bantams can all be as antisocial as Elsa I'll be able to add branches or a perch "tree" too, since its tall enough.

They are awesome!
Your little partridge is feathering in like my Amai. She looked very much like that as a chick, looks very different now.

Thanks, she’s also a total sweetheart! Been mothering younger chicks since she was a chick herself.She’s already squatting at 5 1/2 months so she may start laying soon. I got her from a local breeder, that doesn’t really pay attention to breeding for certain qualities, but she turned out really nice!
Update: she laid her first egg today!

Please keep updating your babies progress, @mamablair. Just love seeing how the squad is developing.

Anyone else have silkies with unique toes? My partridge's 4th and 5th toes on their right foot are joined and my black one has yellow tips on their middle toes. These guys are just hatchery quality so I'm not surprised. Haha

My older two have odd, conjoined toes, slightly different on each foot. I wonder if it's from inbreeding or just poor genetics?
