Chickabee Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm going to get a wellsummer today, and to go with her I'm going to get a coloured silkie. They have red , partridge and buff. I already have a white one. Which colour should I choose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh how exciting, love silkies but I am a bit biased. I have a red who is really stunning whereas my partridge just looks like a slightly more coloured gold but maybe she isn't a good specimen! Have fun whatever you decide and of course put pictures on!

PoachedPlease Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sonyascott how big is your run for 11 chickens? It's the size of my run that limits me, it's only 6ft by 9ft so have only got 5 chickens. Wishi could start again and get a huge WIR!

An omlet classic with run, and a traditional which has it's own fenced off area. The Daisybelle in the classic insists on going out every day. The ex bats go out every day. The others in the WIR go out when I'm cleaning them out. Twinkle the new partridge silkie Summer the new Wellsummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Awww, they look nice girls. You must be busy on cleaning out days and sooooooo many eggs I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Eggs slowing down now. Silkie and legbar still pol, so I'll probably be overrun with eggs in the spring. Lucky neighbors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
