the silkie slickers

[LynnaePB]

Buff-blue mix or a lesser quality partridge? What does everybody think? I'm sort of thinking it's a mix, but I can always hope!

And just for fun, here's a picture of my current chick flock (5 silkies, 5 bantam orpingtons, and one silkie-bantam orpington mix):

Aww very cute! They definitely are looking more like a buff/blue mix to me as well. I bet they'll turn out pretty though!

So, late summer last year we got 9 silkie chicks that were unsexed from Swanky Silkies... 4 Blues, 2 buffs, 1 white, 1 splash, and 1 buff showgirl... So now they are 6 months old and we ended up getting 8 hens and 1 rooster out of it! I think that is the best luck I've had with getting hens out of unsexed chick's ever! Has anyone else had good luck with unsexed chick's before? If so please share!

I got ducks and only grabbed 3. I got 2 females and a male

I got 2 sexed jersey giant pullets and both were Cockerels. I kept one and the other I rehomed because he was human aggressive.

He kicked me one day in the knee and left a footprint bruise. He put a hole in my husband's hand just by pecking him. We still have his brother but he is very gentle and so kind. I don't know what happened to the one that we rehomed, but he was a demon reincarnated.
