They’re hatching!!

One of the best parts of breeding are the little surprises you get, like this little guy - a self blue or lavender chick 😍

The lavender gene is fully recessive which means that it can hide anywhere in your flock. Unless you breed two birds with that gene, you'll never know. The only way to reliably hatch lavender silkies is to produce a fully lavender hen and rooster. This makes them rare and valuable.

Now the hunt begins to find out who the lucky parents are of this cute little nugget and start some selective breeding. Once I'm able to get a hen and a rooster and start producing lavender chicks reliably, we'll be offering them here at The Hen Hut.

This is an exciting time!

Watch Nimbus grow with me!

My cute little fluff is 2 weeks old now. Just look at those wing feathers coming in! He’s getting so big 🥰

I’m still on the fence about whether he’ll be a blue partridge, although that’s my best guess so far.

What do you think? Partridge? Splash? Something else??

Just look at these lovely ladies! They hatched March 8 and are ready to go as pullets. They’re all a leghorn/easter egger mix, so when it’s time, they’ll be good layers

$20 each or all four for $70
