Oh boy, you are gonna love these guys...soft as a kitten aren't they? CF they are just beautiful...love love love them 8-)s! I have white silkies. I love to hold them and stick my nose in their "fur". They smell like stuffed animals...  Mama says all my childhood I never played with dolls, and I didnt, never liked Barbies or baby dolls, just played teatime, doctor, school, whatever, with my stuffed animals. She says now that I am an adult I have just brought all my stuffed animals to life! I believe she is absolutely on the money with that. Can't wait to see more of them...they look so pretty...

Thanks Kelly, these two are characters for sure... I just love how they strut... I was told you could cross whites and blues to get more splash, any feedback on that...

The temps here have been brutal, according to my thermometer up to 113deg.  My hens were out as usual while everyone else was under the bushes in the shade. In the winter it's the same, NNs out in the coldest weather while everyone else is on the roost. Lay big brown eggs year round, will go broody and once the chicks hatch they become fierce protectors. They have a unique personality, very sweet and tame, well till babies are around. The wife wants me to breed a few showgirls but right now I don't have any. |
