Re: Silkie breeding plans
I know zilch about silkies but Kenya that white roo and partridge pullet make me want to get some! VERY pretty. And KBR I love that red Pyle colour. I wish my girls weren't so aggressive. I wouldn't dare put anything as different looking as a silky in with them.

Re: Silkie breeding plans
Just thought I'd mention that my Silkie, Gracie (9 years old this year), is head hen at the moment. Silkies may be diminutive, but in my experience, they have BIG personalities!

Re: Silkie breeding plans
Oh I know they can be tough but my Barred Rock girls do not tolerate anything that looks that different. I love them but they are bullies.

Re: Silkie breeding plans
Hey! What do you think of these two birds? I know the black and white one has some spindly looking tail feathers on top right now. Sometimes he makes them look really nice, but not in these pics lol. He also has purplish earlobes which my (human) girls love. They’re at my dad’s right now so I can’t take better pictures. I think all silkies are adorable so I don’t know if they’re actually good, or just cute to me lol.
You both have beautiful birds!!

Your black and white one looks to be a frizzle.. nice looking fellow. The other fellow looks like a partridge and black mix. Very nice as well. Hope you have some nice girls to go along with them!

Yes the splash one is a frizzle and I agree the bottom one is a mix of colours probably blue/ black and partridge. I like the nice tight wings on the bottom male would like to see more tush . Both have nice foot feathering.
They will both probably give you some nice chicks.

Here are 2 of my black girls currently with the blue male but I think I will move them to the paint male.
