Come on in! This is a GREAT group of chickeny people. And there are a TON of us raising silkies. I think pretty much every color is represented now.

I'm near Murfreesboro as well. Hi, neighbor!

Every color? I'm going to start on grays, does anyone else in TN have them?

 

[cpegram]

Oooh I don't but I think they are pretty

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Huh. I don't know.

I know splash, white, blue, black and buff are covered. I though someone was breeding reds and partridge too. I think someone is doing lav too. A couple of people are working on paint. I don't know about grey. Go for it. Then we really will have it all covered in middle TN.

This is when she was younger and looks a lot better now.

I need to work on getting gray in her head and brown out of the wings.

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Awwww... I like the two tone look! Granted, I tend to like the interesting looking birds over the SOP birds anyway.

She's pretty!

Reeses and Toast are some of those unique Silkies but Anne...I'm questioning Toast being rooster.I mean he looks the part with the big comb but he sings like the hens,acts like a hen including the squat but then I go back to those roo feathers on his puff ball head and his comb and he's got to be a he...doesn't he ...so what exactly is in your water down your way

either way I like to give those Silkies a hard time

I'm going to be working on a Mille/Calico looking Silkie.It would help though if Toast would look at a hen like she was super woman or something but 0 interest in hens..so It's going to be up to Reese's to jump start it.
I'll see if I can get some pics of them now they are all grown up.
