Too many! Over 30 adults and over 30 chicks as well. I'm banned from hatching until we find some new homes for some of them. We'll be moving this year hopefully which should help with space and will be overall a better place to have chickens.

Okay, I have a few questions about silkie varieties.

I hatched 5 silkie chicks (eggs from my own flock!) about 4 weeks ago, add or take a few days. The parent options are a blue cockerel, one blue pullet, and two buff pullets. I don't know which chicks belong to which moms.

At first the chicks looked like 3 blacks and 2 blues, but now some are getting golden-brown-buff feathers on their heads and breasts. I heard somewhere that it might be possible to get partridges from blue and buff parents. Is this true or will they be mixed colors?

I can't post pics right now, but will try to get to it sometime this week!
