Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[Silkie Princess]

The big boy Pom Pom crowed today! And he started being very protective of his girls Attacking an attacking broody Also started titbitting So proud of him

Im not expecting Elvis to start crowing very soon. He has vaulted scull and he is a little slower and not very social because of that. But I still love him. Hes my little baby Also every morning he sleeps till I wake him up
