What's wrong with their feathers?

Thanks, Steve! Have a crowd of not-so-little Blue Orp chicks now- these things will be massive!!!

I've got 5 blue F1s from eggs from AliceFellDown that are growing nicely. Can't wait until they age enough to breed. I'll house chickies in my basement all winter if I have to!

Don't have any great pics, but here's a photo of them...

Those look so good Hurley!!

Thank you so much for them. I love them. Can't wait to see them mature out, but I'm pleased with how they are growing so far.

When your (anyone who has them) birds die do you notice thier eyes? are they normal within the days before they die?

Still wishin' I could get in on this project... I'm dreaming of Silkied Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas.

Eggs from my original 'fluffy' male (hatched from Jubaby's eggs) and his "cousin" F1 crosses are still available, please send a PM if interested.

I have paired my 'fluffy' male with his blue "cousins" (fluffy/pure F1 crosses) that Kathyinmo hatched. You will get 50% fluffy chicks from this hatch, which should come out to 50% blue and 50% splash. The remaining 50% smooth feathered chicks will be carriers.

I just hatched out a frizzle crossed with an Amerucana yesterday! woot woot!

So now that I have a silkied bird growing out, I just realized that I'm going to have to make some accommodations in their coop under the assumption that it won't be able to fly. How high can your silkied birds jump? Trying to figure out how to work out roosting and nest box access. I really wish I had thought of this before LOL.
