and my little silkie

hope they work... my breeder was really impressed with them  ( took the boys back and girls to show him) and whilst we were there two of his customers tried buying my two! I took their number incase but I do think we will probably keep them.   :D

Edit; I didn't realize they are autosexing so these are definately girls.

thanks, I think they are extra special because they were our first ever we hatched.  I want to keep the silkie too  - we will run out of room as we have 5 cream legbar girls which are 3 weeks old.  Wouldn't mind keeping a couple of them too.   :wub: :nowink:

They're lovely. You say you took them back to your breeder to show him, Is that the man in stockport?

yes, I will get some more eggs off him when my incy's empty..  we had a power cut so the eggs in might not work.   :(

thanks, I have another local breeder who will take my boys back.. ( I know how lucky I am) she has polands and we got copper blue.  I also had someone give me 4 frizzle so hoping for ALL girls as I want to keep some frizzle and poland -  although at this rate I will be overrun with chickens!  some of the cream legbars will have to go.. I don't think I will keep the copper blue either, if I get any. 
HOw are your girls?  have you got any more?

Sounds like you'll have a lovely selection to chose from. My girls are ok, Although I lost my skyline last week  :( (blue egg laying hybrid) I have 18 now, But thinking of rehomeing a couple, We'll see. I've also moved onto ducks too  :D I've got 2 little white cherry valley and 2 khaki cambells, They are such funny little things  :D
