So, I decided to use the lockdown to make some dreams come true. I live on two acres surrounded by corn fields and I’ve wanted chickens forever. I started in March 2020 with 5 Silver Wyandotte’s and 4 Cinnamon Queens. I fell in love. Two weeks ago while at the supply store an employee uttered the words “I think we have silkies” and it went downhill from there. lol I came home with one black Silkie, one bantam Americauna and some type of silkie hybrid. The silkie and I bonded immediately and two days later, on Mother’s Day, my sons presented me with an order for 10 more silkies. They arrived last Wednesday. I have 2 black, a blue, 4 splash (I think not paint?) and 2 partridge (or maybe buff?) one partridge didn’t make it (she was gone when they arrived ) and one of the blacks arrived teeeeeny tiny and with straddle leg. After about the first 15 minutes, thankfully I noticed and went searching for help. Which led me to this forum and we made a hobble and Little Foot is already back in the brooder sans brace! What a little fighter! I’m excited to have found such a great resource so soon into this new adventure!
