And after much deliberation she allowed me to get two chickens! I had my heart set on a silkie as they just look so peculiar and hilarious, yet adorable So I found a good breeder, and on the weekend I bought my first pair of chickens! They are two lovely pullets, named maggie and myrtle, and they are only 12 weeks old Maggie is the darker looking one, and myrtle is the lighter one! Myrtle is a partridge, and Maggie is what the breeder said "call it what you like". He told me its a new colour he is working on, but he has managed to acheive it by pure breeding silkies! so that is all i have on my spectacularly bizarre birds! and i cant wait until they start laying eggs!

She's worried about her swimming pool. Cheers Clearwing Link to comment

We got some silkie chicks for my sister for Christmas. She breeds other purebred chickens and I thought it would make an awesome Christmas gift. I am hoping to get some from her further down the track too, for pets So very cute AB! Edited February 29, 2012 by Finnie Link to comment
