Trying to make a final round of cuts this weekend to 🚢 next week.

This guy was already in my keeper pile and staying there. But I had to snap some pics because I’m absolutely in love. Look at that perfect comb! No horns! It’s been a journey. 🥹🫶

He tried really really hard to impress her. 🤣

She’s an older hen and it takes a lot. 😅 He was chased off shortly after this photo.

Partridge Breeding Pen
Trio 🍁🤎🍂

10/29/2026

I think about this numerous times a week. 😅

Let’s say you wake up tomorrow and you find out you MUST downsize to only TWO silkie/satin breeding colors. 😱

Which TWO colors do you pick? And why?

You’re still allowed to keep a little pen of favorite girls but no breeding allowed so don’t let that influence your decisions. 😅

I’m doing:

1. Chocolate / mauve mottled - all feather types 🍁
2. Partridge - silkie feathered only 🍂

Why?

Choco/mauve mottled has always had my heart. It’s also the color I’ve made the most progress in. I have too much time and effort invested to stop. I’m very happy with what I’m producing. ✨

My second would be… Partridge! 🤎 Mainly because there are less folks working on it, it’s so hard to find and it’s a recognized color. Bonus: I find it absolutely stunning. 🤩 I have a trio and plan to start breeding them in Spring 2027. 🥹

Below is a Partridge pair I’ve been growing out since Spring. 🌷
