Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

And the week after Halloween hatch of silkies have moved out of the garage to the bantam pen where I have the two other silkies from last year.

They did great and Oliver my head rooster in that pen took care of them.

Ho Ho ha ha, Happy Gnu Jeers.. We are starting off with a bang already. 18+ eggs, 3 pullets sitting (barely 8 months old).. 4 hatched overnight. This is the most uniquely colored of the 4. This is my red partridge project pen.

In other gnus. I've got a second satin that's going to be a barn burner in someone's breeding program. And the 'silver' partridge cockerel I've been holding to see how he would develop is getting red and gold in him.. Dang it!

Um, houseguest anyone? This guy has had his head tucked under his wing for two days now. Crop is empty so I suspect something stuck somewhere. Got a tiny bit of castor oil in his mouth, and watched him licking it with his tongue... A few minutes later the coughing started.. Cheep, cough, cough.. then he was up on the side of the box resting..Nice small comb and wattles, big muffs and beard plus a great body.
