I got some from ideal that looked just like that. I decided to sell them at a auction cause they just were so far off the type and so flighty and crazy acting and nothing like my silkies. Since that time I have sold all my silkies but I agree with lil peeps about buying them from a hatchery if your satisfied with the type. You could possibly get some that look better than most of them. I have seen a few that got a couple of chicks in a order that were decent.
I just ordered some Black, Blue and splash eggs that carrier the gene from Bobbi Porto.
So hopefully I'' be able to start that way.
Plus I love her birds.
That's great...and a good place to start! Keep us posted. I have one pure lavender in my bator that I candled last night at 10 days...still alive. I'm keep my fingers crossed!!
Yeah!! Please post pics!! Below is a pic of my lav. cockerel at about 4 months...he is 7 months now and I'll get more pics this afternoon. He isn't breeding yet...I understand that silkies can be slow to sexual maturity. He and his brother (a cuckoo cockerel) are in with a black hen who is laying and I keep popping her eggs into the bator....but no fertility yet. So they are both slow!
