The Fricken Chicken story!

[Egg Snatcher]

polish are the silliest little birds.

Your silkies are so cute, I've got lots of broody hens and my silkies won't lay me eggs to put under them. They'll probably lay tell after I don't have any broodies! I did hatch several OEGB wit 5 toes, 1 molten Mille Fluer, 2 japs and on on the way. I've got a dozen or more bantam cross chicks, a polish chick, silkie NN chick, and a meat cross chick. And lots more on the way.

Oh the'll put some character in your flock alright! I don't really recommend getting frizzled silkie show girls. Threir feathers break real easy when rooster mont them.

Here's Elizabeth's mom, here feathers are stronger and don't fall out.

Frizzled silkie NNs might do better with a silkie rooster though, they're not as rough.

I how u find you some NN!

Omg I love your bald lady! Lol I just want some plain Jane silkied showgirls! My friend has a little blue one she hatched, she said I can have it. She took my very nice quality black silkie chick to replace her rooster. But it isnt silkie feathered. I have another lady who has them, but I don't want to accept chicks from her. No new chickens in my flock, unless from a tested flock. I plan on being NPIP tested by next spring. So I can sell my silkie eggs!

I'm proud of my silkies! They have been throwing some nice babies for me. This fall, I'll probably rehome a handful of my girls, or at least move them to a new coop. I've kept back some very lovely chicks, I'll replace them with. That's the point of breeding right, to breed for a better bird? I have 12 silkie chicks right now. Only 4 have been tagged to keep.

Seeing your silkies brings me such joy. That has worked out so wonderfully for you.

My 2 langshan are getting big. I think they are the only ones, I'll keep from this group. I may keep the 2 polish with my silkies. If not I'll sell them when they get a tad bigger.
