Very sweet.

Such a sweet gorgeous girl you have. Love her!

I was going to suggest this also. I think pulling the offending feathers is better than trimming. I did this recently with one of mine and it is already helping a lot. Wow!!! I'm so very sorry...

Your birds are showing a lot of promise for their age but they are really too young to evaluate. That wing doesn't look great. Is it folding correctly (primaries under secondaries)? It may be split but again wings change a lot the first year. I would wait another two months and post pictures...

The white bullseye down at the bottom of the yolk is your fertility sign. The dark meat spot has nothing to do with it. Congrats!!

It is not uncommon for a self-blue to have grey streaks though they are not desirable. If streaks have a similar mirror image on both sides of the bird it is likely a self-blue. Here is a self-blue cockerel for comparison. How about a bandaid?

Nothing to do with silkies but thought you all might find this interesting.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/141027215712?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Hope that egg hatches after all your work! Many breeders suggest using white for a first time silkie breeder. It is easier to find good quality whites and you don't have to deal will so many color issues. Blue, black and splash are three colors that can be raised together if you want variety.

It depends on the roo. Some are very active and can and will cover 10 hens. Some are not active and 4 can be too many. Some boys have a couple of favorites that they make ragged and leave the others unfertile.

All very lovely! He's a very nice looking boy. Make sure his wing in folding correctly and it's not split. Really pretty! Very nice chicks. :D Gorgeous boys!

I would say dark porcelain or light blue partridge. :D The white chick looks splash to me. My splash are born white and whites are usually born light yellow or light blue. Wow! Awesome feet!!

Wow!!! Totally awesome!! Mine lay 2 to 6 a week. I don't sanitize for eating but you can use Oxine 20% - 1 oz. per quart. Love Karen's line! Love your beautiful photos of all your adorable chicks!

Great tractor!

Congratulations, Kim!! Awesome!!
