New chicks

Guess since coming back on here I will post pics of my new chicks.
Bought at the Maqouketa swap that I went to with Jerrit.
2 silkies and 1 mutt silkie.
The mutt, friendliest one out of them.

Buff and Partridge Silkie.



Oh and they are about 7 weeks old now. They were about 5 weeks in the pic.

aw there so cute! I miss them so do they like there chick feed better than the other feed?

I guess, I don't think they really cared, the only thing I think they like better is its smaller so easy to eat, unlike the birdseed.

I remember they didnt' really like the round ball things was that millet? they did chase them around on your floor though :Roll

Most birds do not like millet, it is a filler seed mostly.

so why do they even put it in :/ sounds like a waste of money to me :/

Mutt Silkie?

we actually dont' really know what the mutt is.

I say the lady bought it from said frizzle but we just don't know :/

The black one is a mutt. Idk exactly what.... I wasn't really listening lol, Jerrit said the lady said maybe a Frizzle, but no idea on what other possible breed.

Darn Jerrit beat me to saying it!

never had the d'unccles before but ive seen them at a few shows I think :/

I've always liked Mille Fleurs too.
I like lots of breeds

I still want some Seramas....Hopefully I can go be with Jerrit and then we can order from mrandmrschicken. He also has vorwerks(sp) those are pretty birds too.
I like cochins, OEGB's, sumatras, sultans, polish, japanese bantams, phoenix, yokohamas. Thats all I can think of right now.

i like all But silkies! I think Silkies isn't even a chicken!

Why is silkie not a chicken? I think its just a chicken with, I think its called hookless feathers. Which can happen in any mutation for any chicken. And there are a couple others with black skin too. I don't know about extra toes though, but you hardly notice that with feathered legs.

well I could buy some!!!! But I would Experiment on them, then When they Die they would Be in ther Ground!!!! I'm going to Start Mummafing my chickens!

I wish my silkies never died :/ i think the feed that i got killed them somehow. Seramas would be nice to have. Like how small they are they would make cool indoor pets or what ever.

Seramas are popular house/indoor pets in Malaysia. Because of the small size. They also outnumber cats and dogs as pets.

chickens also aren't color Blind, they are Super Smart! they can be Trained to do a Chicken show (its Like a Dog show< not a Real Chicken show) and yea!

If some were smart they would be laying eggs instead of getting culled when they can o longer lay

I think the black one is a roo. It has wattles developing already and its face/wattles/and the bit of comb it has are redish. So im guessing it is a boy. The partridge has some wattles coming in too and the buff might, so still unsure with them.

Well, "blacky" the mutt is a roo for sure!
this pic taken today.

This pic was taken about 2 weeks ago, he's gotten a bit bigger and much more comb/wattle development.
