I CANNOT GET THIS BOY OFF MY MIND!!!
Do they sell his eggs/babies?! Are they in Instagram or HERE?
M U S T have one!!!

He lives here in Hawaii. Difficult to send eggs from here, out of state, unfortunately. The post office would do a number on them!

I have shipped my parrots (and dogs) to/from hawaii several times via the airlines.. you can send them without a human passenger as well.

Well eggs are sent in the mail and of course would be by air. It’s not impossible
I have had eggs shipped here many times with mixed results on their hatch rates though! You have to be NPIP certified to send eggs or chicks out of state.

As far as dogs, there’s a lot of paperwork involved in bringing them into Hawaii even if you’re just traveling with them. Though people do this all the time.

I don’t know if he is on Instagram or on this site, but I can reach out to him and let him know you have an interest in his birds.
I have been doing a lot of research on breeding satins. It is really not difficult, just takes time! You take your smooth feathered bird that has all the other silkie qualities, making sure they have proper feet and toe feathering is important. Black skin and correct comb is also important.
You breed this bird back to a really good quality silkie. 50% of the chicks will be smooth feathered and 50% will be silkie feathered.
You repeat this again and again, choosing the best smooth feathered offspring and breeding back to a silkie.

Just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays, whichever holiday you celebrate, may it be a good one with family and friends! (small gatherings of course...)
Best wishes for a hopefully better New Year for all of us!
