Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

My jerk loooks just like this. I had to tell my wife how far I kicked him today.

That's not nice.

No I don't think I have seen them.

Here they are. Black Cockerel is named Cinder, the white silkie pullets are Poof, (She's a pumpkin) Marshmallow, & her sister who I haven't named yet.

No it isn't nice, nor are roo's. Have you been spurred between the eyes? Granted I have not been harmed by a silkie. I just have zero tolerance for roo shenangins now.

I recently slaughtered a mean Silkie roo who always attacked me when I'm not looking. All I do is push them out of the coop with my foot when they're like that. This was Mr. Evil.

We had him for dinner a week ago. He's one of our standard sized Silkies.

You’ve gotten a bad lot, I guess. I’ve never had nor experienced a mean silkie rooster. It’s not a breed thing... just an individual rooster thing.

More likely my show quality birds thing. SilkieXCochin crosses aren't show "quality". I just need to do more culling with this flock.

I don't think I've ever seen Cinder before, he's pretty!

Wonder if Poof will produce little baby pumpkins...

I've posted Cinder before, while he was younger.
Poof should produce some very fluffy peeps.

I'll look forward to seeing them when you hatch some!

I'm not hatching them, but someone else will. I'm sending eggs to @john_wrightson2003 who wants more Silkies. I'm also throwing in a few of my project Crele Orpington eggs, & a mystery egg as a bonus.

Ah right, maybe he'll post photos of them when they hatch
