Welcome to the silkie world, @TxChickieFan! Your silkies are beautiful!

I just introduced some new friends of mine to my flock and their first impression on seeing a silkie was, "What is that?" That question always makes me laugh, and I get to explain to them what a silkie is and how their feathers work!

A bit of happy news, Misty (a blue silkie pullet of mine) won Best Of Breed in my local fair against three other silkies! She has a bit of strange color leakage on her chest, but the judge picked her out immediately. I asked her to narrate what she was doing and learned a lot. She said the other three have too long of legs and aren't as fluffy, so she didn't mind Mist's color leakage.

Congratulations on Misty's win at the fair, you must be proud of her! :)

I hope to show locally eventually too, I've heard from lots of people now that it is a really good way to learn.

Yes she's a lovely red. I also have 2 white, 1 black, 1 blue splash, 1 blue chocolate, 1 true blue and a silver partridge. Oh and 2 white crested polish...but that's another thread :love
 
One of my silkie babies cracked me up this morning. They graduated to the outdoor coop, and some of them immediately started dusting. I left them for a bit, and when I went back to check on them I found that one of the previously yellow babies is now...not yellow...and shorter...

Looks like grey to me, lavender are usually almost white with just a slight silvery tone. I could be wrong though! Pretty little chick:)

Thanks. I can't wait to see what it turns out to be.

It wasn't so pretty a few hours before that pic was taken:
