The American Paint Silkie

[Country Chickens]

Just got my first paint chicks--what do you think? This is when they are one day old, and still showing a lot of pink skin. If it's going to darken up, how long does it take?



Thanks for looking! I am super excited to finally realize my dream of starting a paint project!!!

What an amazing story.
Since my oldest Silkie's are only 8 weeks old, I will let them get a bit older and I will be back with questions.
Just love the story

Just thought I would let anybody know that is interested that I put up some Paint silkie hatching eggs on the Auction Yesterday. I am having camera problems so didn't have any pictures up until today.
A few of the pictures were taken today with my phone so aren't the best color. The younger pictures are when the chicks were younger.
