I know there is at least one person on here from OR and maybe a few more lurkers from WA like me. I have started a new thread for upcoming poultry events on March 23 & 24 in WA at

I am so glad that the population of these is beginning to increase. These are going to be *super* popular. Kudos and Congrats to everyone who has worked so hard on these beauties!!

I'm working on colored-egg-laying Silkies (affectionately known to me as Silkie X... but maybe I should call them Silkie O, since the symbol for the blue-egg gene is O...) and folks are already wanting them. Hopefully by fall I can have enough base stock to send out some project eggs.

What a cool idea!! I bet those really catch on! A silkie that lays colored eggs. I wish I'd have thought of that!

Cool name: SilkieOs!

Can't wait to see your eggs.

All the blue and green eggs in this picture were laid by my SilkieO project birds. Most of the rest are from Black Rosecombs and Sebrights. Hopefully the chicks hatched from these eggs will start laying in August or September and the next generation of SilkieOs can begin!

I think this is a really cool project!
Maybe it warrants it's own thread though so as not to confuse people additionally about the silkie feathered Ameraucana's being a silkie mix... just my 2 cents.
edited to add - if you do create a separate thread... please post a link here... I'd love to keep an eye on it too!

I just candled the 20 eggs from Katcai and the 6 from my lavender ameraucanas: All but 2 of the silkie feathered and 1 of the lavenders are showing veins!

Wow, that's kind of hard on the eyes. Oh well! I'm HAPPY!
