I was thinking he was looking like he's developing some really nice type. He'd be one I would think about keeping too. 😍
Thanks! Since I haven't had any takers for him, I was thinking of breeding him back to his blue partridge mama for the possibility of blue and splash partridge chicks.😄
He is a sweet boy, a little bitey with his teenage hormones, but I figure he will get over it.🤣

nice quality stock from Bobbi Porto. She's been breeding for years and her prices aren't bad. It looks like there would be a chance at Nn ordering from her, I know the Nn don't appeal to everyone. She sells eggs and chicks/pairs which when the weather is not too hot could be shipped. I've only ever heard good things about her. :)

Her website is https://indigoegg.us/
OMGeeze u just got me in trouble BIG time! I was gonna order from someone when we get back from vacation...and that be my last hatch for a while. But these babies! OMGeeze they are beautiful!!! May have to do 2 more hatches!!!
Man why couldn't we have won that billion+ lottery!?!
 
OK @LynnaePB you are officially a Silkie enabler!🤣
I checked out Bobby Porto’s‘s website, it looks like she may ship to Hawaii!🤪 I just texted her a message to find out! Like I need more chickens…😍
And your right, her prices are really reasonable for the quality of birds she has😊
Right!!?
I'm rethinking buying a double order from the other lady and instead buying a dozen from her and this lady! I mean man! Those babies!!!
I NNNNNNneeeeeeeeDDDDDDD. Em!
 
I know the lady I got my silkies from are both BBS and she just started shipping. I think she and Sheri Minkner up in Lincoln have some ah-maxing quality silkies!

I’m not sure Sheri ships eggs though.

Aww she does have some lovely birds. 🥰

Sheri has gorgeous birds too, and definitely ships. I'm just not quite sure if she does specific colors or just hens choice? A good local breeder friend of mine actually just ordered a big batch from her. 😁

Oh yeah that would be a lot of fun to try for! 🥰 I've had quite a few biters too and thankfully they almost always grow out of it. 😂

I can relate! 😣 I keep seeing all these breeders who have such beautiful birds. Come fall when weather is better for shipping I'm not going to be able to resist ordering from a couple. 😂

Oops! :oops: 😂

At the same time exciting! I know it's been tricky to find breeders who can ship there. I hope if you are able to get some they make the trip in good shape! :fl

Oh nice! I know she doesn’t do eggs, but it’s good to hear she does do chicks and older ❤️❤️ I just love her silkies, they are just gorgeous! A level above!

Sheri? Oh yeah her birds are just gorgeous and she's got lots of breeding experience. I believe she is the one who really got the satin project going. 🥰 I think she does eggs too, that friend of mine has over 40 from her incubating now. 😁

Oh I see! Well perhaps that policy is only for those of us random Silkie buyers she doesn’t trust with her babies! 😆 Her website says she doesn’t ship eggs, so I just assumed! Haha. She definitely loves her silkies! Her satins are gorgeous too!
 
2nd gen from a cochin by silkie crossing. About a week old.

No need to guess on the sex of this one. Several of the others are obvious boys as well.
