Thanks!!Oww... Such cuties! Congrats in your new additions!!
I have 1 large coop. At the moment I have 23 Silkies... which includes 3 cockerels all 4 months old and 1 rooster about 2yrs old. The rest are hens and pullets. I am thinking to dispatch one of my boys that is skittish and also has an extra toe is don't want past on Unfortunately he's from purchased eggs so I was hoping to use him for genetic diversity but don't know if I want to pass his traits on..Just curious, how many roosters do ya'll keep in one silkie pen or how many roosters per breeding project? Unfortunately I've realized that one of my roosters, Shadow, tends to pass on genes in his chicks such as 4 toes on one foot and 5 on the other. This has happened in the past two hatches and I'm almost positive he's the one. If so I don't think I'll be able to keep him for breeding.
Awe she's a cutie!!!They only chick I kept this year so far, little Kai who is seven weeks old now.
Was hoping she would feather in the lighter blue and she is feathering in nicely.
I was pretty sure she hatched out of Kana’s egg and now she’s starting to get a few brown feathers in her crest, so this makes sense. Wonder how much partridge will come through on her. She is the full sibling then to Kumori.
She is going to be a small bird and still hangs with her mama, Himawari.View attachment 3220737View attachment 3220736
They are pullets...not laying hens yet.Man, that statement just fried muh brains... How can you do a breeding project without hens?

Thanks!Awe she's a cutie!!!
We have all made mistakes and have regrets.They are pullets...not laying hens yet.
The hens I had that I rehomed were not the colors I needed for the breeding project.
I already said I made a stupid mistake...
