Those splashes are really coming along. #2 is starting to look rather rooish. #3 is looking alot like my girl Sterling (and is probably from one of her eggs), and I have a chick that is looking just like her. #4 is certainly developing some interesting coloring. Thanks for showing the progress of them. Julie does great work.

Charlie, I think you're right... #2 & #4 are starting to get tiny wattles, where #1 and #3 are starting to look very feminine.

50/50... the way it is supposed to be!

This could be interesting!

 

[Mrs MIA]

Well Charlie... #4 is a roo... started crowing, er, choking this morning...

Exactly 11 weeks old yesterday.

Now I'm watching #2...

He sure is neatly marked. I like the contrast between the colors of the top knot and the neck. Does this mean it's time for a different home? I know what too many roos are like! What is the feathering like on the feet, legs and tail?

I'll get update photos here soon, Charlie.

He's a cutie, and I've named him "Bart" after the Bart Simpson character. His topnot reminds me of Bart's hair...

Oh no... I have a separate pen for the Splash's and Gray... he stays.

OK! Here's the update album for the 4 silkies... They will be 12 weeks old tomorrow...

Charlie, what color do you call Sterling? My little Grey looks just like her...
Grey, or blue, or?
