What color silkie should i get???

[koakritters]

Our feed store is getting 'assorted bantam silkies' in tomorrow.... i'm just going to look, i swear!

... but if i were to come home with one... what color is your favorite? i have a white roo. I want something that would look really pretty in their pen with him and my other random fancy breed chickens.

I love the splash color, that would be pretty with a white roo. Of course, black would be nice too. Then the blue with a white roo would be nice. See, this is why I ordered an assortment of silkies. I love 'em all

I love all the colors of silkies, also! I have 1 partridge roo, I black roo, 1 black hen, 2 bb splash hens, and 3 tiny little white babies. I also have 4 showgirls, 2 white, 1 porcelein, and 1 splash! Just pick which ever one catches your eye--------oh, I forgot, you're only going to look.

They are all pretty, so when you get there tomorrow, just get the one that catches your eye (or your heart, lol).

Spalshes are very pretty!

Assortment! Then you'll have a rainbow

if i did that i'm not sure who would kill me first: my parents, my workplace where i keep them, or my other chickens who are just barely tolerating my new 5 week olds ... i think they're waiting for me to leave them alone with the babies one day so they can teach them a lesson on who's cage this really is...

Hmm then black! Would contrast nicely with your white roo

i've got 2 black funny looking chickens already- a polish and a frizzled bantam Cochin, and i've got a gray Cochin... plus a RIR and another red/orange chicken and an orange/green rooster... want something different than the colors i've got, which is how i ended up with the white guy in the first place.
