Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Oh, okay! Thanks so much!

Next off I'll be inspecting them with a magnifying glass

It just gets difficult when I have someone wanting hatching eggs but they only want eggs from a certain hen...I try my best!

Wanna see my pumpkin I carved?

Hmm...would you guys say vaulted?

Looks like it.

Looks like it.

That's what I was thinking but definitely not a very large vault. Two out of the six that hatched have it so overall I'm pretty pleased still.

Flump must be vaulted so when bred to my non vaulted male, some hatch non vaulted and some with a small vault. At least that's what I've found so far from this hatch.

Also...

I got what I wanted

It will be sold as pet quality eventually though, it has an extra toenail

Most of my silkies are non-vaulted, some had tiny vaults.

Such a cutie.

Congratulations! Such adorable babies!

I definitely agree about your little white baby being vaulted.

Here's an old picture of the only pullet we had, who had streamers. Her name was SnowFlake. We traded her for a turkey last year for Thanksgiving.

The guy had her sitting on eggs later on.

You got a dark chick! Did he/she hatch this morning or last night?

Dancing at you is a sign of him trying to be dominate towards you. If he mates in front of you, he's still trying to show dominance towards you. When he mates in front of you turn your back, & don't pay him any attention. I learned this from a website about how to train your rooster to be nice. I train my roos to be nice, I'll find the website for you.

Thank you! Just a few changes in my behavior has seemed to reestablished who’s boss!
