Happy Saturday! ✨

Enjoy this little white chick. 🐣 I’ve got a fun day planned! What’s on your agenda?

Spend the morning with some of my chickens, it’s a very peaceful place. 😌

This is one of my favorite places to be. 💕

Lizzy has blossomed into such a stunning little lady! 🧡🖤

She definitely has one of the largest crests out of my partridge birds, and it has such a great shape as well!

Some nuggets from yesterday’s hatch! 🐣 They are sooo beautiful. 😍

This hatch is extra exciting because I’m officially hatching my first Phoebe babies from my partridge pen, and they are looking very promising! Plus, white chicks are finally back and hatching again. 🤍

I’m really loving the crests, puffy beards, full feathered feet, and overall plumage already on this group of babies. It definitely makes me feel like I’m heading in the right direction with my breeding program, especially since these are from three different color pens: BBS, partridge, and white.

Chick update! 🐣

Had a bit of a disappointment again… another boy-heavy hatch. 🫠 Out of 27 chicks, 19 were cockerels! 🙄 That left me with 8 little pullets. I kept a couple, and the two pictured are some of the ones I held onto. The remaining pullet girls have all found new coops. ❤️

I have this week’s chicks hatching now, and I’m hoping for some better odds this time around. 🤞🏼

I also wanted to let everyone know that I currently have a “chick list” of people I notify when chicks become available, and I’m no longer going to be adding to it. Once I work my way through the last few remaining people on the list, I’ll only be posting available birds on my page, and it will be first come, first served from that point on.

Hatching can be so unpredictable, and I hate keeping people waiting for long periods of time. I also feel like this will give others a chance to get my birds without having to wait so long.

Hope you all understand, and have a beautiful day!

My handsome Georgie boy! 🧡

Had to share this cute video of him before his trim. ✂️ My buffs are the absolute sweetest and always hold a pose for me, I love it! 🥰

George and Simone were strutting around like a couple of macho men after getting their hair buns, crest, and beard trims.

How cute are those sweet little faces? They held so still for their trims. 🥰

Breeder credit for both of these gorgeous birds goes to Baileys Exotic Silkies 💕

Partridge Silkies, I swear they go through the biggest color transformations!

This is one of the few color varieties where the hens and roosters feather out differently from one another. I think it’s so cool!
