I guess I missed something. Not out of the ordinary for me

They are getting out of the awkwardness stage but there is still some crazy feathering going on. I love babes.

Thanks! They sure do go through an awkward stage lol

Has anyone got this recently? We are probably going to get one in June... we were going to last year but it didn't work out, is there not a wait list anymore? Is there a reason not as many people seem to be getting it (I know the price went up a little)?

I'm excited for you! Let me know how it is! Is that the day they gave you or did you choose June?

 

[billiejw89]

I requested a June date, but I have not received my ship date yet so we will see what happens. We were very impressed with our box last August. Good variety.

See, I knew that silkies had black skin, but I wasn't sure if the rose combs also had black skin, or 5 toes.

It would be real handy to make a chart where you could list that this breed has 5 toes, these kinds have black skin, these kinds have this kind of comb, this kind has this kind of marking, etc. But of course, I don't know how many more surprises I'm going to be ordering

Also, how do you tell the comb when they are just chicks?

We need a dichotomous key! Sorry, I know this is an older post but it has to be said!
