Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[LadiesAndJane]

@LadiesAndJane this is the little black chick from you...it had quite a bit of white as it is lightening up! U think it may be a dark blue instead of black?
The one to the left back there is the little blue...will try to get better pic today!

Little cutie!
This little one is looking blue in your photos. They can be so hard to tell. Even have to double check some of the chicks I’m selling as blue to make sure they really are!
Some are so obviously blue but the darker ones are so tricky.

This is funny but super creepy too...
I hate that movie, saw the original decades ago but did not see the remake. Now if they had had Silkies and Polish in the remake, I may have dared to see it.

I completely agree! I hate that movie too, it creeped me out! Stephen King has a very messed up mind! But would be hard to deny a movie with silkies and Polish

I have seen both (although I really can't remember the first one).. and the remake is excellent!!!!

I don't know... in that kind of movie, they'd trap you in a nestbox, put a wig on your head that covered your eyes, and poke your eyeballs out..

That teenage stage where it looks like a toddler spent the day at school doing cottonball arts & crafts

I’ll had so much anxiety about these lil ones when I brought them home the other day! We’ve had so many die lately and anything looking remotely lethargic gives me stress But they’re very active puffs and love using the bigger chicks as mattresses lol. Gotta collect all the colours ya know!

They are such pretty little fluffballs!

I'm so sorry you are losing chicks, I hope you won't lose anymore!

Thanks!

We’ve been getting mostly bantams this year and they’re just so delicate! I’ve never lost any chicks after that first 24 hours from shipping (and that was just one too), but these have been about a week later… Just don’t grow and then gone. The smell of Nutridrench is burned into my mind as dead chick now

I kind of wondered if she had the potential to be a very very hard to notice mottled Silkie @LynnaePB. I figured being so young it could just be weird baby feathers, so I guess time will tell! She’s so pretty and has that very Silkie stance I wish she could be more confident! She did put herself to bed two nights in a row now, so maybe we are on the road! I got confirmation that I was right today that an EE hen I adopted is partially blind (previous owner just thought she was a weird chicken) so I decided she might best fit in with the two silkies that can’t see real well either She’s a really pretty and sweet hen and very quirky so I figured she’d probably relate well with Sia and Cher When the Polish get big they can join the “can’t see club” too!
