My Show Girl

Cleo, a Show Girl Silkie

Cleo was born on November 19, 2009. In this picture she’s almost a month old. I believe her coloring is buff–I wouldn’t really know, since she’s my first light brown chicken. She’s also bearded with a “bow tie”, that little fluff at the base of her neck above her “cleavage”. She really does seem to have a plunging neckline below the bow tie, and she’s not the least bit shy about it.

Hatched Friday!

Thirteen hatched from this batch: two French Black Copper Marans (I think that’s what they’re called—some combination of those words, anyway), two Olive Eggers, a bunch of different colored silkies with a few pure whites—yay!, and three showgirls.

More pictures to come.

I'm hoping she's Lavender, but either way, she's GORGEOUS.

Showgirls Scheduled!

I’m actually guessing here, but these are the French Blue and Black Copper Maran, White and Lavender Silkie, and White Showgirl Silkie eggs I got for my mom. They’re eggs. They’ll hatch, feather out, and then we’ll know for sure.

The dark brown ones are Marans, but whether Blue or Black, I’ve no idea. Same goes for the Showgirls and Lavender (Self-blue) Silkies. AHappyChick from Backyard Chickens even threw in some pretty seafoam-colored eggs that will hatch out some “Easter Egg” chickens that will lay olive-colored eggs. We’re excited! They’re due November 19th.

Quietly waiting for the mat & screen. (Oops.)

More Marans & EEs, and of course, SGs!
