Well its happened at last I have found some large fowl Silkies! I am getting two white girls on Saturday at the Scottish National Show Tomorrow I will have to set up my spare eglu and move netting around in preparation.

[mollyripkim]

Oh you lucky thing, I love white silkies, but not yet got one, hopefully this year. Look forward to seeing photos.

[docsquid]

Beautiful! White silkies! I only have silkie bantams (one silver frizzle silkie, and two blue splash silkies) but absolutely love them. I can't wait to see your photos

[Ain't Nobody Here]

How exciting . Looking forward to seeing fluffy photos .

 

Got your names picked yet?

[lindafw]

I have never seen large fowl silkies...looking forward to photos

[Chortle Chook]

Lucky lucky you I can't wait to see the pictures! If there is any way you can put them against something that shows their size when you take their pix, I would be most grateful as I've always wondered how much bigger a large fowl silkie is than my girlies.

[sparkysmum]

Great news Can't wait to see them. Lucky you and lucky hens

[Redwing]

These ones are officially large fowl. The breeder that Lolalayla is getting hers from breeds bigger ones than these though

 

Ex batt and Araucana bantam for size reference, they are roughly the same size as the ex batt

 

 

 

These are proper bantam sized ones, kitchen tiles are the size reference here

 

 

So many are an inbetween size though

[BizzyMomma]

Oh wow!!! You lucky thing..can't wait to see pics!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Even more fluffiness to cuddle .

[keyhole kate]

I have a White one called spooks she's a fiesty little madam she is about the same size as my pekins so I'm not sure if she is a bantam or large fowl but she is very fluffy and cuddly

[LolaLayla]

Will do my best to get photos once they are home I will need to think about names. Is Blanche too obvious?

ANH- you will need to think about names for yours too

[chestnutmare]

Oh yay! I can't wait to see pics. I bet you're rrrrreeeally excited. I will get bantam silkies one day.

I have in-betweenies but I'd really love a biggy like you have, Redwing. They are so very very pretty!! Is that buff shading they have on their wings and heads 'cause it makes them prettier than pure white ones.

[LolaLayla]

Everything is all ready for the new girls. A nice clean eglu in a very dry spot Did I mention I was excited

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I've responded on the Little Facts and Things Thread already as hadn't noticed this .

Err, guess what we decided on for names? Lulu and Layla . Process of elimination using the Wiki chicken names list - I never twigged .

Looks like we were both busy today getting things ready for our new babies .

[Space Chick]

I have 6 Silkies.... They are all inbetweenies, but are all gorgeous

[LolaLayla]

Here are the girls

 

 

They are lovely and are now in their eglu with run. The weather is awful, really wet and windy, fortunately they are in a good spot. I thought it was best to try to get a photo inside as it is easier for you to see them. I will try to get more in a few days time. One had laid an egg in the box when we picked her up Lola and Layla spotted them being brought in and started shouting! It did not sound very welcoming

[Space Chick]

They are gorgeous I'm sure Lola and Layla will accept them in time

[Sammiboo]

How cute!!! love my silkies. Embarrassingly enough I havent named mine yet

[Uma]

Oh I think I saw this pair today, so very beatiful! I would love to have silkies but I would feel too bad not letting them free range with the others to keep them dry and non muddy (we have a dung heap.... )

[sparkysmum]

Oh my, they are stunners Well worth waiting for, beautiful

[BizzyMomma]

Oh how gorgeous are they and an egg already!!! Looking forwards to more piccies soon!!

[lindafw]

gosh they don't look real..they are sooooo white and fluffy. Nice of them to provide you with an early egg...they must like having you for a mummy

[Luvachicken]

Ver sweet .
