Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Based on your pics, I think I have one vaulted and one non vaulted paint... also i think only one is going to be bearded, maybe.

Got a few updated photos last night with the help of the child!

And are those both bearded? Its what mine look like.

I have them in the garage and i realize it just makes me too sad to have them outside vs inside with me.. i know, weird.. but i haven't gotten to interact with them like my first set.

Well they are supposed to be bearded. Definitely not as much as their full sibling, the black one I’m calling Lilikoi. She is a little older than them though. Sometimes takes time for the beard to grow in. Both parents have full beards. This photo shows the beard a bit better, this bird is six weeks old.

That one is just toooo cute!!

Im going to have to take pics of the silkies on the commercial break (watching hoarding buried alive, can't step away!). They won't be the greatest pics because of the crazies in with them

Looking back at chick photos of some of my current bearded girls and they definitely had more beard at this age though.
Can you take them out of the brooder and take photos? That way you don’t have to worry about the crazy Polish!

I think PuffPuff is vaulted? First is a recent pic and second is her as a chick.

Ok.. prepare for lots of scrolling.. going to do multiple posts so i can keep who is who straight..

So this is the one that originally i thought was female.... but after zooming in maybe not...

This one is temporarily known as Big Silkie..

This one i thought was male.. but comparing combs, im thinking POSSIBLY female..

Temporarily known as, Little Silkie:

And while im at it... here is one tolbunt. gosh this one reminds me so much of Esmeralda.. where her crest came in so wide and the individual crest feathers were round at the ends.. totally keeping all of them til i get someone crowing. Ill take pics of the other 2 tomorrow. I know it looks like theres red or pink on her face, chest, and head, but i swear there was nothing, not sure why my camera reflects off her skin so much. Just her same flesh color everywhere.

She is so pretty! Yes, she’s definitely vaulted. You can tell from her chick photo.
