Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[532740]

Usually around 6-7 months of age. Some won't start laying until after 2 years.

Wow! 2 years, I guess I will be purchasing silkie eggs

I'm planning on making rainbow laying silkies sometime. Silkies that lay: Blue, Green, Blue/Green, plum, dark brown, & pink eggs.

That sounds very cool! My girl looks completely silkie on outside, but the roo she came with looked very favorelley but was sold to previous owner as silkie. So maybe I shouldn't be suprised if theres alittle something extra in her

How you gonna do that? Sounds interesting!

Introduce blue egg genes, & brown egg genes into the bloodline.
