What kind of banty?

[Hotwings]

Not to get away from the question, but how does a silkie see with all that feathers on their face? I am fairly new to chickens and I haven't had any expierence with silkies. Kind of like the Ole English Sheepdog of the chicken world!

We actually clipped their little fros around their eyes last night. They start getting skiddish when they can't see. I love the puffy top knot but it's not like I'm showing them.
Thank you, Chickenlips! I got them from a friend. He has such pretty birds.

Ok, Carri, I loaded 2 pics of my dust bunny on photobucket.com, so if you could help me get from there to here, that would be great! I have the feeling that my baby is a mix since alot of the fluff is being replaced by feathers, especially on it's wings. Hopefully you can tell.

OK, it's pretty easy. When you first sign on, it will take you to thumbnails of each pictures. There are three options under each picture: 1. URL LINK- This is if you want to just post a link to your picture. 2. HTML TAG- That doesn't work on this forum, so don't worry about it. 3. IMG CODE- That is the code that works on this site.
You can either highlight the IMG Code, copy it and come back over here and paste, or you can click on it and Photobucket will copy it for you. You will know that is was copied for you if a little (and I mean little!) yellow box pops up and says "Copied".
Highlighting it will probably work better for you until you get the hang of it.
Paste the copied code on here. Instead of clicking "Submit", click on "Preview" to make sure it turned up, then click "Submit". Even if you can't figure it out, just paste the link and I can fix it so the picture turns up.

PS.
Chickenlips, when you paste the IMG Code, it will look like this...

:

Ignore the bold "CODE" part. I did that so the code wouldn't work and you could see it.

I'm hoping this pic comes up. If not I'll try pounding some other keys! HA!

 

[CarriBrown]

It worked!

That's not a Silkie from what I can see. Do you have other pictures of it not in your hand? Does it have feathered feet?

 

[chickenlips]

Here's another pic. There are no feathers on it's legs or feet.

Thank you for all your help, Carri. You give great instructions on how to post pics!!!

 

[CarriBrown]

You're welcome!

That's not a Silkie. Maybe someone else will know what it is!
