Here are two cell phone pics. If you want more detailed pics let me know.
Pic 1 Shows how big his comb is at only 7 weeks. The other one has a very small comb with no color yet.
Pic two has him standing next to the girlie....she has much darker coloring.

Happy Mothers' Day everyone! We spent the morning with the inlaws, and now my husband is cleaning up from the "man trip" he and my sons went on. After that, we'll head over to spend dinner with my family.
Anyone interested in silkie hatching eggs? I wanna do a dozen egg swap. I'll send you a dozen silkie eggs if you can send me a dozen eggs from your purebred flock.
I love those silkies, Cynthia. I still don't think I love showgirls, but I know you like them, so I'm really glad you got one. I hope she's a hen.
Whittni, I would love silkie hatching eggs but 1- I am so, so sick of chicks in the house 2- I have no fertile hatching eggs to offer and 3- I have 14 chicks in my house right now, with 7 more in the incubator. If I got more hatching eggs, I think my husband would commit me. Could we revisit the idea next spring?
I'm not sure I love the showgirls..just wanted to try something different. So far, she doesn't seem too different, not like the pictures I've seen of naked necks...not liking those at all. These at least have some fluff around the top and bottom part of the neck.
What a fun little bunch you got there Cynthia! I am loving the colored one too.
Hope you all had a fun day! It was a beautiful day in Cache Valley. Could not have been any more perfect!
I totally took advantage of the DH today....being Mother's Day, how can he say no.....so I asked him to help me get more coop stuff done today. When I asked he had this face :/. It was too funny. But we finished the little coop "La Casita" on the far end, and actually doubled its size lol he did not know that was coming. We had so much leftover wood, we were able to make it twice as big and never even went to the store, how often does that happen? It was so nice. We even found extra hinges, had enough paint and trim pieces of wood. I can't believe we found everything here we needed. The stars were lined up today. All that is left is making the roost bar inside, putting chicken wire around the legs on the bottom, and attaching it at the far end of the run so that the girls can get into it. Will get some pics up when it is light outside. Haha poor husband. He was a good boy today. We are both pooped! And sunburned. But it turned out nice, it matches the big one perfectly. I think it ended up being 3 1/2 feet by 4 feet, instead of 3 x 2. It has one next box, we are going to use it if we have a broody or to put chicks in so they can be outdoors but separate from the big girls. I thought about making a separate area in there for my polish, but they are getting along great so far with the big girls so hope it stays that way! TMI, sorry, I am excited
Better make a pretty nice dinner tomorrow for Mister Casa, he earned it
