Silkie thread!

[1chicken fan]

Mud mask, chamomile/aloe shampoo soak, and voile

Question. I have five silkies. Some are females and some males, none of them are of laying age so I don't know how strong a mothering instinct would be at this point. I am getting 10 lav orpington chicks soon. I am debating whether to set them up inside the house or outside-- with the brooder lamp of course. I was wondering if the silkies would be likely to play mommy to these chicks if I placed them so that they could not just roam free but the silkies had access. I am guessing not, that they will act just like any other chickens and peck them, but I thought I would ask just the same.

It all depends on their personalities. I'd think they would peck them. I have teenagers that sleep all snuggled up to babies - it all depends. I wouldn't risk it though.

Rusty is gorgeous, that color scheme is how a partridge boy should look!
LOL I love my Penny, you know my boy Titus? Penny came from the same breeder and I'm getting more girls from the same breeder next week!

Is Titus the one in your avatar? I have never actually seen a partridge boy look like that around here. They seem to look more like girls but with a brighter gold in them - I agree - I love that colour scheme. That's what my partridge cochin male's colouring looks like!
