Thanks =D

Bath night for Jingle and Holly

My two new Cockerels, and Holly my Paint Showgirl

They are all silkie mixes. Pure silkies would have fluffy feathers, these have smooth

My two favorite pieces. I love photographing my chickens, the roosters are always my best subjects =) I really want a better camera so I can capture their true essence better. The quality of the photo really DOES change the whole dynamic of it!

No they are looking straight ahead =) Thank you i'm really excited to see how they grow!

Yes most likely hatchery stock will not be showquality. You will want to buy from a breeder with good stock for that, but itis very rewarding and addicting once you do get into it and win! It's fun when you don't win too, but it's more fun if you do If you decide to get some show stock and ahve...

Is she a double frizzle? was she from a frizzle bred to a frizzle? If so her feathers will always fall out and she will most likely never get them all in. ChickyDee64 her brother/sister is a smooth and has a ton of red coming in all over =) It's a beautiful bird but I didn't need it so I sold...

Feed them gamebird or multi-flock starter crumbles, this helps prevent wryneck. Silkies require more protein than other chickens. Also you can keep htem on this same food their whole lives, just supplement them with some oystershell in a dish on the side so they can get calcium once they start...

Yes these are just hatchery or pet quality. I would not breed them. Your white is gorgeous, but these have very little crest and very few foot and leg feathers.

She looks perfectly balanced to me. They don't all have that huge bonnet crest, and when they don't their tail and crest should balance, smaller crest=smaller tail. She looks very nice to me, she could do for a nail trim and some weight but she has nice tight wings. A lot of show silkies are...

Blue, black, white, and paint (within the next year) in silkies/showgirls; Black, partridge, paint, and occasional odd colors in sizzles.

ARIA come to the north eastern poultry congress on the 18th in west springfield, MA! You can meet a bunch of silkie breeders, including myself =)

Not sure, could have been a number of things =( Add on the very bad weather we've been having (-10 with strong winds, 35 and raining, and now 4 and strong winds again...) and it's been a recipe for disaster...

Jangle just passed away in my arms Rest in peace sweet baby girl...

Not always. Silkies are supposed to always have black toes (not necessarily toenails they are white a lot of the time) unless they have pigment holes in their skin which is considered a defect (only 1 point off per toe though in a show). I have a blue and a black(both 4 months old) and they both...

I did a couple silkie mix test hatches, I bred a silkie to an ameraucana, a wyandotte, and a fayoumi. The ameraucana/silkies all have greenish colored legs and light skin, the wyandottes all have yellow legs and dark skin, and the fayoumi all had blueish slate legs and light skin. Actually no...

Not always Mollie, I get a 50/50 percentage typically of silkie skin to the other chicken's skin when I do crosses like that. Also, paint silkies are weird because they tend to throw pink skinned chicks every now and then, I just had a showgirl paint chick hatch with pink skin. I sold her to my...
