is the one in front a Lavender? Its a very light grey not white like the splashes.

So these are your silkies? They are adorable little fuzzy butts! I have 9 growing silkies in the incubator right now along with 7 Seramas, due to hatch Monday the 14th. I can hardly wait! (Except that means I'm going to have to find a place to put them...) Congrats on your hatch! So what's with the one's leg? Is it spraddle leg?

Chickens are such a crack up when they dust bathe. The first time I saw one I thought it was dead, now I just get a kick out of watching them. Today I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants, Buttercup was in her bath, looking for all the world like she was in her final throes of death. Hilarious!

Until.....

I come back 10 minutes later, and she looks dead. I go to pet her, and she's dead! I just laughed hysterically at her during her in her final moments. Crap! I feel terrible. Why do they just up and die like that? Anyway, RIP Buttercup, Tyrant-Queen-of-the-Worm-Hunt. You were the first. You were the best. You were The Boss. You were the standard by which I measure all chickens.

today is just not my day... lost all 3 of my turkey chicks... then i am eating dinner with my family with the door open only to see one of the cockerels grabbing my EE pullet by the neck swinging her around... Ran out feathers flying grabbed him, got my knife and ended that right there... Hope the little pullet is ok.. ugh

the one on the right has something wrong with his leg. He can't walk on it and for the most part it sticks out to the side.

You need to use a bandaid or something to pull that leg back in under it. I think the one could still be a splash, my girlfriend has Lav and most of them are darker than that, Ive had a few also.

Oh no Im sure he was putting her in her place for you know. But sometimes they can be really bad. My girlfriend came home to a rooster trying to kill one of her hens, well its becasue she wouldnt listen to him ever so she went to a new home becasue she loves her rooster.
