Oh my goodness Iluv, I did say 8 months. Nope, she wasn't that old when you got her..lol..

I wouldn't mind running to Nephi and picking up chicks for you if you want. You could get them when you come for the body exhibit!

You are the sweetest person alive!!!! Thank you so much!!

Wow, I'm so out of the loop, I've been so busy with the new puppy, kids home from school, and inventories that I can barely check my emails. Anyways.... I'm running to Odgen this morning till about 2pm. Does anyone need anything brought south to Utah County area? Text me at 801.722.9127 if you do.

BTW Gary- my broody is doing awesome with the eggs. I candled them yesterday for the first time, they are at 14 days. 1 was non-fertile, and then the other 4 are growing, one has the biggest air sack possible, but its moving. It has more then 1/2 the top of the egg, and then dips down 1/2 the side air sack. But there is the tiniest chick in there and its moving. So left it, not really sure if that one is going to come out okay.

But....Sadly I think one of my Silkies has now jumped on the band wagon. Today is day 3 in the box. I'm mean and I take her out and put her on the roost every night. But not sure if she stays because shes back in the box in the morning. And she will just have to stay that way unless I find her some just hatched chicks and see if she takes them. Because I leave in 3 weeks to go away for a full week, and I'm not going to let her hatch eggs when I'm gone. I guess if she is still this bad next week when the others hatch, I guess I could try to find a few day old chicks, and see if she will take them, if not maybe my other broody won't notice if I put them in with her new chicks.

Karen, you could give her an egg when they are on day 18. This way she will think she hatched it all along.

Its a cross between my Splash Silkie Roo and a LF BLRW hen. Not sure of the color. BLRW can be blue, black, or splash. Dont you love the little puffy cheeks.

It is such a beautiful chick!! I love its coloring.

Thanks. This the same color as the one the lady made her husband by from me last week. there was so many feathers on its feet you couldn't see them. This one looks like its headed in that same direction.

Nice looking birds Iluvmysilkies. I love white silkies over all other colors. The look like they are all high and mighty.

Is anyone interested in some 7 week old Silkies. I have 3 blues for sale and 1 partridge. I am keeping the splash for now hoping its a pullet. Sorry about the pictures but if you are interested i can take some individual picture. My chickens are not lap pets so its hard to catch them. But that's what treats are for right. sorry pict heavy



These are the little ones i thought were Silkies but have smoothed feathers. They have huge vaults. Since my frizzle was laying in the box before she went broody I'm starting to think they might be smooth sizzle. They are the same color as the sizzle they hatched with. once again bad pictures. i thought it was hard enough trying to get pictures of a chick behind 1 broody hen, i wasn't ready for 2 blocking me. (and spike is a biter)



and this one is for Amanda and Aubrey

I'm pretty sure that a non frizzle is a silkie
