Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[chickenmomma16]

Hatch date was August 18th. The Red/blue cockerel looks like Blue Wheaten Ameraucana x Red Sexlink and I'm pretty sure the dark cockerel is Blue Wheaten Ameraucana x Silver Leghorn My Wheaten Ameraucana cockerels have yet to crow and they are going on 5.5 months old. Late bloomers I guess It's a good thing because I still have 6 of them...

This is a bird from chickenmomma16 cannot recall age but I took as they as she moved they went to a young gal I have known going on 30 years Shannon she let me know today one crowed they live in Bonney lake no roos allowed... to my knowledge these are easter eggers of her hatching

Oh there is nothing like having 6 or 8 cockerels all crowing at the same time..... I ate one because he kept crowing all night and wouldn't shut up. Kept keeping me awake.

So I have a giant silkie thing I guess. Look at this boy! The rooster on the left is 18 months old and weighs 39 ounces. The cockerel on the right is 7 months old and weighs 62 ounces. The biggest rooster I've had before weighed in at 42 ounces. I may be crossing this boy over to my EEs.

Haven't yet. Thinking of doing that this spring. They should look like regular EEs with slight crests. I've crossed silkies with them before. Second gen would have a chance for silkied feathers

I've been thinking about adding crests to my Easter Eggers. I love the look of the UK Araucana.

The father of these was a hatchery buff silkie. Using the big boy I have would give a bit more feathering on legs and a bit more raised feathers on the crest. The crest is more like just a bit longer feathers. If all I was trying to add was a crest, I'd use a polish. No leg feathers to deal with, or grey skin and meat in the males. Silkie would give the chance for blue earlobes, though. I think a giant silkie that lays blue eggs would be kind of cool.

Anyone else ever compare a cross section of a silkie skull versus a normal chicken skull? The brains are shaped very different.

We always picture aliens as having huge brains sticking out of their skulls. Silkies do have huge brains sticking out of their skulls and are an old breed of unknown origin. Maybe we got it wrong and aliens aren't humanoid. Maybe they are really silkies.

Add the black skin & black blood in there~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
