    Here is a picture of her back in daylight and another with the flash on. Also an additional photo of her day old chick down, I thought it might be helpful. I still can’t tell if she’s a regular brown partridge, silver or blue. She didn’t have any brown in her day old fluff. Name ideas would also...

    I didn’t know that about blue creams! That’s great! I’ve gotten a pair of chocolates from her and a blue. They’re beautiful. I can’t wait for the day that chocolate is an accepted color.

Once they’re closer in size they should absolutely be able to stand up for themselves as long as there’s adequate space for them all. A little fighting in a flock is normal and fine...

    You can keep chicks together that are no more than 2 weeks apart usually. As far as Introducing to an adult group, I’ve always integrated as soon as they were fully feathered and ready to be outside, typically the earliest is 6 weeks.

    Beautiful babies!!❤️ It could be buff, but it’s pretty dark. Possibly red! The buff silkies I’ve produced are usually a yellowish orange as chicks. Where did you pick them up?

Mixing colors is truly like buying a box of chocolates. you never know what you’re going to get❤️ I just bought...
