Sharing a few (ok sort of a lot) of pictures of some of my breeding stock for next spring. Ohhhh I love them, yes I do! You see, the goal is showgirls, but sometimes the silkie babies just turn out so dang nice, I can't help but keep a few! They are all still pretty young and getting their mature feathers, but I think they are getting close to what the final product will look like.
I have two of these. They are splash, and silkied, but frizzled silkied, like curly fur. I love them! They are going with a blue regular Silkied Boy.
SEE HERE! This looks like a butt----but then you see the beak. You see why I talk to butts?? They are confusing lol
You can see the blue male in the background. I am not thrilled about him, but he is pretty decent. Not spectacular though, after hatching 200 chicks, the males that I kept nearly all went splash, and of the few blues I had to choose between the nice toes or fluffy heads, it was tough to get one with both that were amazing. I have high hopes he will make some good babies though. He is really young still and has lots of filling out to do. He is about 12 weeks old.
Then my truly frizzled silkies, oh these guys are so fun! I am keeping three black and three blue, the blue are dark so hard to tell them apart. I love their eyes. They are going with the regular blue silkie boy also. He has a harem of nice girls for Spring chicks
Again, photo proof that the right/wrong end is easy to confuse on that splash right there haha
This one is only about a month old. Pretty sweet already. I love..those English O's!
