sorry, I've been forbidden!
we've got the chicks so I suppose he is right for a change *grudgingly!*

Sneak them in, Little Blue ......say he must have mis counted or something. The last batch had nice feathers, so they would be ok, and blend in with your established ones

Are you keeping the chicks? Our little bantam ones are really cute, but I will be selling them in a few weeks. Got far too many banties and little silkies running round already, and most of them broody.

we've 3 light sussex and 4 marans which we're going to keep (unless they turn out to be cockerels!) and have just set the incubater full today of assorted bantams & some rare breed Derbyshire Redcaps (really hope they do well) which again, we'll keep all the girls.
what colour are your silkies?
our cockerel, Lenin is a black silkie, and I'd love some girlies for him.
is it right that they don't necessarily breed true to colour of the parents?? (not sure where I've got that from!) and that he'll make "gold tops" with the LSs? do they really have golden heads, what colour is the rest of them, as I've only seen them as chicks?!
