Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[kurby22]

Apologies, I keep forgetting they come in a LF version, too! I have personally not seen them.
My adult girls weigh about 1000 g at most.
My rooster is a bit bigger than average at close to 1.5 kg.

I hadn’t ever seen LF silkies either, until yesterday! I went to a Poultry Show in Lodi and there were a lot of very large silkies! I was shocked to see how big they were! They were at least 3 times the size of mine. I wish I’d gotten some pictures of them. They were amazing! They also had a couple of Tolbunts that were bigger than one of my Marans So many beautiful chickens! I of course came home with a couple…not silkies though—they didn’t have any for sale by the time we got there. A mille fleur d’Uccle and a bantam light Brahma…they’re so sweet and beautiful

Okay! My daughter wants to name the Brahma girl Isabella (Encanto character of course) but the MF doesn’t have a name yet! She’s so sweet! I carried her around the poultry show and she just chilled with me, no spazzing at all I clearly need to get them into a bigger quarantine pen today that has a roost…she kept climbing up on top the waterer to sleep and those big feathery feet kept slipping on the plastic haha. I love them already!

They’re soo pretty!! The feather patterns are just amazing. They also had self blues, whites, and porcelains in the show (the self blue is amazing) but I missed my chance at getting a porcelain in the sales barn…they had sold first thing at 7:30 am But the breeder said she will have more if I contact her in the future
