Popping in for an update. I cleared an area for the breeding pen, it will be completely clear when the snow melts.

That's great.
Thinking about squeezing in a little Malay Giant into bloodline for added height. Wanna make sure these Silkies are going to be huge.

He’s bigger than 10lbs for sure...my poor daughter had a difficult time holding him hahaha he’s from a breeder not show quality but we love him he’s for sure a gentle giant. I’ll be following this thread to see ur giant silkies for sure....never had a silkie as this boy would squish them
