Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[The Chick Addict]

Not as many silkie eggs today, but some very nice ones. I need to separate out the hens in the project pen so I can figure out who's laying that blue. There are 5 choices on who it is.View attachment 3516571

Beautiful eggs! I envy you!

Learn little bits at a time or you'll go insane. I don't even know near a quarter of the info but I try and learn more all the time.

Just curious.
My daughter bought these three, two year old girls a few weeks ago to be company for my little cochin guy, Mr. Biggs. (Was my birthday present)
I know the black one (Felina) is from an silkie & Ayam cemani rooster and silkie mom mix.
I can't remember what I was told about the white one with black spots, (Salina) other than she has a silkie x Ayam cemani father. Any ideas?

They've been with Mr. Biggs for more than a month, and Salina and Melinda (the mottled cochin) are broody so I set some eggs. We are on day 14. (I think)
Kind of wondering what chicks we may get.

Any thoughts on my 13 week old unbearded silkie?

Satins and Silkie like crosses (F2's) in a big turn out pen for the first time..
They had a blast.

This lil F2 hasn't decided yet on what type body feathers it wants to sprout at 6 weeks..

Compared to 2 siblings..

How's this for a headdress?

A climbing we will go, a climbing we will go.. I think she was looking for bugs or something.
