Shaggy Chic Silkies

09/05/2026

I’ve got some show-conditioning questions! 🤔

When conditioning your Silkies for show, are you still taping their crests? Or is there a point when you stop before an upcoming show? I’ve seen mixed opinions on it. I sometimes worry that it may cause some breakage and/or damage to growing crest feathers.

What do you do when it comes to preserving their foot feathers? I’ve noticed that once my birds hit the 9-month-plus mark, there’s some noticeable breakage on their foot feathers. I keep their pens clean with very soft bedding, so I’m a bit stumped.

Then there’s the added annoyance of my more dominant hens getting their beards a bit plucked when challenging other birds. 🫠 I’d really rather not have to separate every dominant show bird into their own pen if possible. 🥲

Any other tips for getting your Silkies show-ready would be very much appreciated as well!

Have a beautiful day! ❤️

🤍✨ Dixie & Dolly ✨🤍

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you all have the most wonderful weekend. 🫶🏻

These two beautiful grow-out pullets are full sisters from my end-of-April hatch. How could I possibly have a bad day when I have these two beautiful ladies to look at? 🥰

Alice got some extra ✨TLC✨ today! 🥰

A end of March pullet, full of pin feathers, and maturing beautifully. 🧡🤎

Look at the feathering on those feet! 🤩 That’s exactly what I like to see. 😍 Such an exciting little pullet! 🥰

Ah yes, Pipsqueak and Hyacinth, a couple of my “least” favorite girls that hatched this year. ❤️🙈

Yeah, if these three hadn’t been DNA sexed, I absolutely would have been fooled. 🤣 They are very feminine, fancy boys. 🥲 Three prime examples of how a “suspected pullet” isn’t always a pullet, and why investing a little more in a DNA-sexed pullet or a mature hen is probably the safer option. 😅

They are from my early/mid June hatches. The black mottled boy is a Sunrise Silkie breeding 🖤🤍

Happy Friday, everyone! 🥰 We’re finally having one of our first cooler days in a while, and it feels amazing! The chickens were feeling extra frisky this morning!

Here’s a little look into one of my grow-out pens, lots of lovely ladies in there. 🐔💗

Named this stunner Dolly. 💖 She’s one of my favorite grow-outs, and I just felt the name suited her perfectly.

So sad to hear the news. Such an incredibly special person gone. The light she shined on this world will never be forgotten. Rest easy, sweet Dolly. You are deeply missed. 😓💗

“Can we help you?” 😒

Grow-outs never fail to make me feel judged when I go in and try to visit with them. 😅 Like, could we dial down the side-eye just a little bit? I don’t think I’m interrupting anything THAT important. 🥲
