Oh my goodness, you are so lucky. Red Barn silkies are soo hard to come by as they have limited availability. I stalk their facebook page and I promise you they are high quality and you will have 2 beauties in a few months time. The Partridge chick that may turn black, I may be wrong on but they could end up looking like 2 of mine. I had 2 chipmunk chicks hatch out last spring.Spring is in the air. The new coop arrived early today.It came in two massive boxes, this should be something akin to a HUGE Ikea build. We have begun the leveling process to prepare the ground. I am excited to build the shed but the ground work is not so fun.
I have been casually stalking Red Barn a breeder local to me to see if I could snag a couple of silkie chicks to raise with my SFH’s and I did it! Two cuties we will be picking up tomorrow. Does driving an hr each way to pick up two chicks officially make me a crazy chicken lady?? I think it just might.
The fuzzy feet made me do it
The chipmunk is a partridge from black, it may feather out black apparently (someone help me understand this) the other is black.

This is how they both look now. Black with a even distribution of brown feathering throughout.
thank you…. Will root around for more.
