Jofitch31 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi. I have two silver nick chicks (and a Rhode Rock). I cant find any pictures of what the Nicks will look like when they're older. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 They must have another name - a silver nick might be what the breeders called them. What do they look like now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The only reference I could find to a Silver Nick was on the Thornes Poultry website. If you contact them, they may be able to give you more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMARCH Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi, I'm no expert but if a silver nick is the same as a silver link then they may be an amber star type but more white in colouring, are they white? We have an amber link and she's a great egg layer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofitch31 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hi thanks everyone! They are currently 6 1/2 weeks old and are a very pale yellow, almost cream. They have very pal legs and are fairly big already - about 7 or 8 inches tall? No idea hat they could e like and like you say Google doesn't bring many hits!

jennym Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Found a reference that said silver nick = amber star. http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/rule-roost/blue-egg-layers_54313.html Pictures of silver links as pullets & laying hens here: http://www.nantclyd.eclipse.co.uk/html/poultry.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I have an amber! They will either be pure white/cream or they will have brown/gold speckled markings (though this is less common, they're usually white, so the man at the chicken farm told me). So naturally, I chose one with markings on her back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 They do tend to be creamy coloured, some with darker markings across their back and wings. Lay lots of eggs too We have a dark cream Amber Lee (one of the ones that FRs around the yard) with lots of dark red markings all over her, everyone wants her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofitch31 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Brilliant thanks everyone! It's funny because one of them does have some fairly prominent brown markings on her wing tips - just like yours Squiffs! Really helpful to know this. If anyone has has pics of their Nicks/Links then keep them coming, would love to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I chose mine because of how white she was, she has no brown markings just a creamy neck I was a bit OCD with picking them and I also wanted a black one with minimum ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
