Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Those are awesome!
What a great idea, how do you get the hats to stay on?

Where did you get the hats? I’m totally stealing this idea for my Christmas cards this year!

I had some tape inside them for a while, but then I took it out

I think they came with some M&M Christmas decorations my mom got like 16 years ago.
We'll probably end up using these photos on ours

They weren't the only ones I took though

Too cute!
I think I need to find my Christmas decor and get cracking!

I candled my 17 eggs tonight (day 3) and I've got 15 clearly developing. I'm pretty happy with that number as I wasn't sure how well my boy would be able to cover 12 girls.

It's been a little while since I've posted pictures as well so here is one of my grow outs I haven't posted for quite a while. He's my favorite male grow out so far due to his nice temperament. That could change but for now he is a very well behaved little guy. He's so good he got to stay with the pullets instead of roughing it with the other cockerels (who were picking on him). Excuse the dirty crest.

Since it’s been so long since I’ve posted any photos , thought I would post a few of my bantam flock free ranging today. Sitting outside with them enjoying the fall sunshine.
Odoriko (new beardless silkie) is getting used to her new family.

They are all looking so beautiful! I'm still amazed how much Eko has filled out in a short time, he is really looking very nice!

I decided to take some Christmas pics today of Jade and Cupcake

Aww they are so adorable with their little Santa hats! What great pictures (and of the chicks and other chickens/poultry too)!

Thank you!

My mom tried to talk me into letting her photoshop them on

Wow, he is a looker! Are you planning to keep him? Is he a dominant white?

I am quite pleased with how Eko is turning out. He is barely 6 months old.
You were so right about waiting it out.
Can't wait to see what his babies look like!
Happy to hear you have so many eggs developing!
I have 15 out of 18 developing well, here on day 8. I pulled 2 clears and 1 blood ring yesterday. So rewarding to incubate my own birds' eggs after the disappointment with all the shipped ones earlier this year. Though I did get Eko out of them, so not complaining!.
