Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Lobster claw. Has an extra toe tip coming off at an odd angle. And doesn't have right number of toes.

Doesn't effect the bird. Is a disqualify fault and not something you want to breed from.

No one has crippled feet or curled toes.

so it could be one of the two I do want for broody that would work think the tiny eggs from them otherwise would be fed back to birds scrambled or to the dogs the same way

Yeah, lavender is recessive and impossible to find and remove easily once introduced. I wouldn't want that headache in another flock.
I love the colour of them and having that for the flock is great I may breed a cockerel from them to a few ee knowing the black would be there but it's just a mix for egg color
Introducing silkie into my layers just makes them better mothers when they go broody. Which 4 of them currently are.

Silkie eggs make the best deviled eggs. Small enough to be bite size and better white to yolk ratio.

Their eggs are just under size small. The very biggest silkie eggs I've gotten have just barely weighed in at small

I make them for hubby's lunch sometimes. If I don't overfill them too much I can put the halves mostly together for clean travel. 3 eggs is a good snack for him. Much better than the sugary crap he likes to buy

Watched it. We got about 97%. The fog started to blow in as the temp dropped. As soon as it was back to 80% covered, the fog cleared completely. Didn't get dark enough to see stars, but did get dark enough to see a satellite in orbit for about 30 seconds.

Wow that would have been worth seeing not sure how much we did get here I was in the kitchen by then Richard said we got a bit over half

Oldest kid is really into science, and he just sat there with his filter glasses watching the whole thing. I was checking it out in between stretching and salting rabbit skins.

It felt about 2 hours earlier in the morning here. Only thing I really noticed was that there was no breeze here during it.
