This is Clementine......
This is Gertrude (Gertie)......
And this is Sadie.
And here are my original three-
Belle....
Beau....
and Cecil.....
*Sigh*.....
Beau....
and Cecil.....
I'm having a serious case of Chickie Love. Please bear with me.
I even love them from behind.....
*Sigh*.....
OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhh! I want some:( How fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Paula I'm laughing - they are lovely I'm positive that is a lovely chicken. ROFL - the hind view looks like what my hair does without conditioner! OK I'm sorry - they are nice silkie chickens - any woman who keeps goats has no room to giggle about chickens! You are the sweetest - you love your animals as much as we do ours!
ReplyDeleteI love Silkies! If I have a matched pair of WHite Japanese Bantams, I'll trade you some chicks!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Silkies have black bones?
*sigh* I don't even have to tell you what I'm thinking, do I?? My kids are DYING to have some silkies. They think they are just SOoooo Keeeyuuuuute! I told them that yes - SOME day, we will have one. Or two. Or maybe three or six. LOL! HELP! I LOVE CHICKENS!!
ReplyDeleteNow those are the cutest chickens I've seen in a long time, and the 'behind shot' was a good way to start my day with a chuckle!!!
ReplyDeleteClementine is my favorite! Right up there with Belle and the Little terrorist! I used to breed silky doves and they were so gentle and sweet right out of the nest. Do silky chickens have different personalities from the smooth feathered chickens?
ReplyDeleteOh no...now I want Silkies, but I think my rather run-of-the-mill chicks will feel like wall flowers with those hair-dos!!! How cute!
ReplyDeleteJuri
They are adorable! I think I had better do some research before spring gets here. I've heard about so many different chickens I don't have a clue which to get now. lol Take Care :)
ReplyDeleteOh...they are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new Silkies-
Hugs,
Pam
I don't know about these poofy chickens. I haven't decided yet how I feel about them but I will say that they are very unique. And isn't it great that you can enjoy them so much? I have a Gertie too and she's a sassy, independent little Orpington who lays pretty little eggs. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those are the cutest chicks I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!! So stinking sweet. I love chickens. I love the new look, very chic.
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I never thought of chickens as lovely, but I'm so glad to see them through your eyes! I think I see your point. They look very soft and ...well, Silky! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBeau is beautiful. His eyes are so soulful. He fills my heart with a deep longing for....egg salad?
ReplyDeleteWell I can see why you're in love-they are so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteSooo Cute. I Love them and want some too.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww!!!! They are so cute and beautiful. I love their hairdos. And your house looks great, too. Are they pretty good layers? Mine took a break but are starting up again. I think mine are pretty but I might have to see if the "chicken man" has any silkies. HA. Hope you have a great week, Paula.

Very fuzzy and delicate! I am like Amy @ Twelve Acres in the fact that I'm not sure what I think about this breed. I'm not sure I would want such a delicate looking chicken but I definitely enjoy looking at them on your blog and at the fair.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I love my chickens too! They are so fun to watch. I kinda wish I had some Silkies like you do.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty cute chicks!!! They come with hats on!! What are their eggs like?
ReplyDeleteOhmigosh...
ReplyDeleteI might have known!
I think I have one of your brood!
We have to be related.
Love
Lea

COZ WE ARE SISTAHS!!
Sadie is my favourite, she already shows great henatude.
ReplyDeleteRose

ReplyDeleteI have a hawk stalking my chickens!!!!
Afro chickens!!!! :D
ReplyDelete.. or at least that's what we call them when we see them in the petting zoo..
since their 'haircut' looks most like my daughter's afro.. *lol* (she always mentions that too)
greetings from holland!
I am with you on this! Something about feathers-just makes my heart want to dance a jig! They're wonderful, Paula!
ReplyDeleteLove, Debra
How cute! I love Silkies!
ReplyDeleteYes, I understand now! Really I do. I have caught a serious case of "chicken love fever".
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Lea
Your chickens are so darling! I like Gertie the best.
ReplyDeleteMerry
"A face only a mother could love" comes to mind. hee hee. No, I'm kidding, I think silkies are cute... but some non-farm types may think they're some sort of short ostrich!! :)
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWW, I think they are ADORABLE!!! They are just soooo cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust hopped over from The Back Acher, and it was love at first site (hehe, er, sight)
ReplyDeleteI am a Silkie keeper as well. I have a Blue Splash hen and two Black hens. But I am in love with the red one you have. My kids were all drooling over her too :D
I highlighted you as a 'new to me blog' on my site today.
Happy farming,
Katie
