Three years ago this started with one goal… helping Laikyn raise silkies for fair.
Somewhere along the way, it turned into so much more than that. ❤️
What started as a small project turned into late nights, early mornings, learning genetics, learning losses, celebrating wins, building coops, hatching chicks, traveling for birds, meeting amazing breeders, and slowly building a program we’re truly proud of.
We didn’t just buy random birds and hope for the best. We’ve worked hard to build quality birds with lines from all over from Florida to Michigan and beyond — always chasing improvement and learning every step of the way.
And the coolest part?
Laikyn has been hands-on through ALL of it.
Feeding. Cleaning. Learning. Watching hatch days. Picking breeders. Handling chicks. Asking questions. Loving these little fluff balls with her whole heart.
Now crunch time for fair is here… and honestly? Mom nerves are REAL right now. ☠️😂
I’m anxious, paranoid, overprotective, and watching these birds like a security guard working a double shift because we don’t exactly have backups sitting around.
But no matter what happens in that show ring… win, lose, or draw… we are proud.
Proud of the birds.
Proud of the growth.
Proud of the knowledge gained.
And most importantly… proud of the little girl behind it all.
This is only the beginning for LD Small Town Silkies. We’ve already got chicks growing out for Fall 2026 shows and plans for 2027. We’re going to keep learning, keep improving, and keep building something special one hatch at a time. 🖤
And if nothing else… these silkies have taught Laikyn something bigger than ribbons:
Hard work, patience, dedication, and passion matter.
