Wow. He is gorgeous.

I was actually referring to the black skin. I was wondering if the males would inherit mom's coloring?

She and her "sister" hatched out some babies with a red frizzle cochin recently. This (the frizzle) is from one of her eggs. It is the absolute cutest, but I don't see any silkie genes at work, so far.

Spectacular do!

Just curious. My daughter bought these three, two year old girls a few weeks ago to be company for my little cochin guy, Mr. Biggs. (Was my birthday present) I know the black one (Felina) is from an silkie & Ayam cemani rooster and silkie mom mix. I can't remember what I was told about the white...

Personally, I'd keep him. I've found that three cockerels or roosters get along better than two. Also shouldn't 5 to 6 hens each, should be optimal for bantams?

I don't blame you for having faves!

If he sits on them, and hatches them, you can call him the "hatching parent"

I'm so sorry, Cynthia!

🎉congratulations 🎈

I'm with you. Those silkies look too much like poodles. I could not , would not.. unless one was just very mean.

Not to worry, I ordered them in July. I ordered a total of 17 chicks. Got to get busy and build a grow out for the males. I have several cockrels right now from 4 weeks to 16 weeks all still in my broody girls pen.

Doing so. I have an order for some hatchery chicks. They may not be so lovely since they are hatchery quality. I ordered 2 naked neck pullets, 7 silkie straight run, some sr crevecoeur for interest, and a few more girls of various breeds. I'm picking them up in two weeks and then I can join the...

I saw that MPC has hatching eggs for "show quality silkies" but boy are they expensive! Six eggs for $99. I'd die if I spent that and none hatched! If they weren't so far away though... I'm more tempted by their I want a showgirl ...for my granddaughter's sake of course.

Myself, I don't have a chicken math problem...it's those darn hens! Another broody sitting on 3 eggs this morning!

I'm suddenly reminded of an episode of the original star trek..."The Trouble with Silkies"or Tribbles or something.. ..

I think I like the cochilkins best. Or is it silkochins?

I just can't imagine eating something that looks like a poodle! I don't think I could deal with an evil silkie.

Good ZINGER post @HuffleClaw! I don't have any silkies. I'm afraid to get them for fear of hawks (we have many) and fear that my lovely but opinionated flock won't accept them. But I do have to say, that their poodle like good looks have grown on me.
