silkies

Now you can see what puff puff looks like. You can see his turqoise ear lobe. Halfbreed is also a silkie but her earlobes are not as bright as puff puff's. They are bantams which are a little smaller than a regular chicken and are a rare breed. They have black skin and are not feathered like other chickens, more like a cats fur. Puff puff is about 4 months old, don't know how old halfbreed is but she is supposed to have brooded chicks before.We are going to get some more bantams this spring!!It's not easy caring for baby chicks in the winter,cold weather and rain make it hard especially when you are trying to keep a steady 90 degree temp for the first couple of weeks.Oh my wife named these 2 chicks,just wait, it gets better!!!
