I have two of them in my coop. Too me they are just ok...Any leads yet on a coop for you my dear...Hay

Not yet.I have a man who says he can build me one, haven't been able to meet with him to discuss things.
The Buttercups are pretty but....

Didja HAVE to do that? The comb is wonderful. Fortunately, I don't think I have a source for them, and please don't help me.....

Are you sure??? I can certainly help if you want me to....(or as we say with roses, "enable you"

Maybe the Easter Bunny left Buttercup eggs too?

I guess I'll know tomorrow, huh?

Busy Bunny....

Melva speaking of new breeds. I just acquired twenty Dutch Bantam Silkies, and two adult hens, and two adult roosters. I also acquired nine Red American Silkies, they also are babies (Two Weeks old) I will be picking them up next Saturday. The lady was going to focus only on Seramas so she sold all she had left for a hundred fifty bucks. Their are only an estimated three to four hundred Dutch Bantam Silkies is the entire U. S. A. so quite rare still...Hay

Haystack that is awesome that you got all those Dutch Silkies.. (I just call them that to keep from confusing them with Dutch Bantams)
I'm excited to see pics of them! I love that they can actually see! The biggest plus of all.

I told you you'd get red white and blue! You just need a couple white silkies and you will be complete! :)

Hay I am so excited for you,I love silkies.

That is so funny ZZ's I just received a call from a lady, she is going to donate a one year old black rooster Silkie, and a one year old white Silkie hen. Lordy I hadn't planned on this but am excited about it...I'm never giving up my Seramas though, no, no, never...I still have not been able to find a pic of an adult Dutch Silkie.


Thanks Green, I'm pretty excited about it also, but not sure what I've gotten myself into...LOL...Hay

is this them?

I think the Dutch Silkies have smaller top-knots, but they should be similar.

see if this works.. This is one of Debbie's photos.. the ones that Haystack is getting..
