Jaffa jumped up on my seat.. just love the eyeball look she (or he?) gave me haha..
Smallish comb I think for a boy but can't possibly be a girl coz of colouring?

This is my 9 week old silkie, Corduroy! She’s super cute just a little skidish. A few days ago she was attacked by a hawk and i think she might have loss some of her vision. Regardless she is safe and healthy! Do you guys think she’s a boy or girl? i got mixed opinions but i don’t know if it’s too early to know

It is a bit early to be sure, but looking female so far.

Out with the birds again! Photo of 7 month old Lilikoi enjoying some alone time.
She is the friendliest of all my Silkies, responds to her name.
I have 15 eggs due to hatch on Thursday. I had to set them around my work schedule to make sure I will be home on hatch day! I’m usually gone for three days at a time working. My teenage daughter has been awesome tending to all the birds and eggs when I am not home.
Actually have a few fertile eggs from Niko, so very curious how the Paint over Paint will turn out. Hoping for some bigger spots.
These are due to hatch on July 7.

Mr. I Think I’m Hot Stuff is attempting to woo the ladies with dance instead of force, they’re not buying it lol. Trying to decide if I should try splitting them up into breeding pens or just selling all the roos
