Giant Silkie Project.

[Sally PB]

How far is Belding, from Tawas? If you ain't too far, I can give you some silkies, next spring.

I have a Malay cockerel needing a new home. Still waiting for the right person to want, & take him.

I can't take your Malay, as I have a roo, and one is... enough. If I enlarge my flock next spring, I'll try hatching my own, mostly for the experience. And to see what I get.

But thank you for the offer.

Okay.

Mine clean their muddy foot feathers pretty well. Same with the Brahmas. Feather legged birds adapt pretty well.

I'll get a picture of Scaredy tomorrow. He's molted, & looks like his old self again. Scaredy is the name of the Silkie in the picture I posted.

They're fluffy chickens, look nothing like a stuffed animal.

Mine clean they're feathers pretty good too. One day I will go out and think, "Hmm, I should wash they're feet" and the next day I go back out in the morning and they look like nothing ever happened to them. (The feet feathers).

Silkies are definitely tidy birds.

That’s good to hear. We have one silkie hen (whose our first silkie) and we were worried about her keeping clean during our really wet and muddy winters

Mud isn't much of a worry, from what I have observed.
