Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[ForTheLoveOfSilkies]

12 chicks, now 4 wks old
I'm thinking to sell the 3 blues /grey (one has brown colour on its head so that's interesting) ..and 3 splash - though not sure if 3rd is a splash yet no obvious spots so maybe it's just an off-white type of colour.

I'm super eggscited this morning. I had moved Turtle Dove my half EE hen from Gen Lee's pen to another where I had put Lil Boy Blue. She's finally waking up from a long molt and winter vacation, so I've been keeping an eye on her eggs. Bingo! She's finally accepting LBB's donations! Going to gather some of her eggs to incubate, while keeping an eye on Rose's eggs to see if he's breeding her. LLB is the ONLY blue male I've gotten from Shadow Captain and Poof Poof. All the others were splash.

I still don't think the smooth feathered one looks like a half silkie other than the red comb and wattles.

We have 2 black silkies that are about 4mos old

Curious question, what is the normal weight for y'alls silkies?? Mine are so light despite unlimited access to feed. They're averaging 1.7-1.9lb...

Hello, new to this thread, but I love silkies! I have three, 2 roosters, Kohaku and Blackie, Formerly Akira. We originally thought Blackie was a girl, and Akira means thoughtful and intelligent. Kohaku means amber. The female's name is Kaya, which means sunny. So normally we call her Sunny. Their names are Japanese, because of their origins.

And here I thought their origins were in China, as first mentioned by Marco Polo.

I see Kohaku and I immediately think of Spirited Away! Such pretty names!

Maybe i am wrong, but half the articles i read say China, and the other half say they were found in Japan before that.

He is totally my favorite!
