Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Dustin07]

So did you buy the ones at Winco ?

yes lol. I'm glad I overbuilt our coop to suit about triple the birds we had planned on. I found cornish broilers up at Tractor supply in Port Orchard about the same time Wilco called the girls and told them they found our Americaunas.... so we ended up double the size of our flock that day lol. here we are though a week later and they are all happy and healthy and growing at the speed of light.

The not-silkies are 4.5 weeks old. Such needy things that want me to hold them. They yell for attention if they hear me now. These are full siblings. Crests are coming in now. White skin has darkened up.

This one looks mostly like a silkie and is half the size of the others.

Same coloring, different feathers

Still think this is a boy
