🐔❤️ Mother Clucker Silkies IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. ❤️🐔

With all the sadness I’ve been sharing lately, and with me letting go of so many things, I want everyone to know one thing…

I am NOT letting go of everything.

If anything, I feel more powerful than ever. 💪❤️ I’m still going to breed chickens, still going to build my lines, and still going to chase the goals I’ve worked so hard for.

I’m just changing my focus.

There is still a lot going on at Mother Clucker Silkies. Before I sell off my regular paint pen, I’ve separated my two paint pens and am allowing those hens to become no longer fertile from the black Silkie that was over them so I can work toward creating my mauve paint line.

I’m still working on the heart of Mother Clucker Silkies with my chocolate and mauve lines. In the photos, I’m showing you two Mavs from my chocolate Mav line, along with one Naked Neck that is a dark Mav frizzle. All three of them are third generation, so I’m still focusing just on the heart of these lines.

I’m going to divide those lines into smaller breeding pens so I can focus more closely and see who is producing what, instead of keeping multiple pens that I find collectively beautiful.

I’m narrowing everything down to the two lines that truly call to my heart. These are the ones that make me excited to hatch, grow, breed, and see what I can create next. 🐣✨

I’m also going to be creating more boys and separating those breeding pens as I empty out the other pens. Instead of spreading myself so thin, I want to put my energy into the birds and colors that truly make my heart happy.

And honestly… I think I can find a lot of joy in that. ❤️

Especially with the new financial burden I’m about to take on with the car loan, I need my chickens to be something that brings me peace, purpose, and happiness—not something that overwhelms me.

So no… Mother Clucker Silkies isn't ending.

I’m simply becoming more intentional about where I put my time, money, energy, and heart.

Sometimes you have to let go of a lot of things to finally have room for the things that truly matter. 🐔❤️

And I’m still here.
Still breeding. Still dreaming. Still creating. And stronger than ever. 💪🐣🔥

Sold Sold Sold
💔🐔 A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION — MOTHER CLUCKER SILKIES 🐔💔

With great hesitation and an incredibly heavy heart, I have decided to list my Platinum, Dun Chocolate, and Dun Splash group.

This is honestly one of the hardest breeding decisions I’ve had to make. These are colors and genetics that very few breeders are working with, and I have only been able to find a handful of breeders who are working with them.

What makes this even harder is that I only ordered these eggs earlier this year and hatched these babies myself. 🥺❤️ I was excited about the possibility of working with them and seeing where I could take the project.

I never expected that so soon after hatching them, I would find myself in a position where continuing the project just isn't feasible for me right now.

For those wondering exactly what is in this group:

🐔 Solid Naked Neck — either Dun or Platinum
🐔 Splash — Dun Splash
🐔 Smooth Satin — Dun Chocolate

These are not birds I am letting go of casually. There was a reason I sought out these eggs in the first place. I saw the potential in these genetics and wanted to work toward developing something special.

And honestly, it makes me sad knowing that I'm probably not going to be the one who gets to continue this project. 💔

But if I have to let them go, there is one thing that would genuinely make me happy:

I want them to go to someone who will take them seriously and continue what I started. ❤️

I am going to be VERY picky about who this group goes to.

I'm not looking for someone who just wants unusual-colored Silkies for the backyard. I want someone who understands that these genetics need time, planning, careful breeding, and dedication to really see what they can become.

I want someone who is willing to:

🧬 Work toward creating more diversity in the line
📊 Follow breeding charts and plans
📚 Learn and understand the genetics they're working with
🐔 Breed with a long-term goal
❤️ Be patient with the project
🤝 Stay in contact and allow me to help when needed

I am more than willing to provide breeding charts and information to whoever I believe is the right person. I don't want to just hand these birds over and never know what happened to the project. I want to help someone understand what they have and hopefully watch them take it even further than I was able to.

This is a passion project for me. I may not be able to continue it right now, but I still care deeply about where these genetics end up.

So please understand if I ask questions about your experience, your breeding goals, and what you plan to do with them. This isn't about finding just any home. It's about finding the RIGHT person.

If someone serious takes these birds and continues working with them, creates more diversity, and eventually develops something incredible from this line, that would honestly make me happy. 🥺❤️

It would make letting them go a little easier knowing that the dream didn't end with me — someone else picked it up and carried it forward.

📸 And please excuse their slightly wet appearance in the pictures! 😂 We've had quite a bit of wet weather lately, and apparently they decided that getting their beautiful crests soaking wet was the thing to do today. 🤦‍♂️😂 So yes, their little crests are a bit damp in these photos!

🐔💔 MOTHER CLUCKER SILKIES — A HARD DECISION FOR A GOOD REASON 💔🐔

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be listing my MOTTLED project pen for sale.

This is honestly one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make with my breeding program. I’ve put so much time, money, studying, driving, planning, dedication, and most importantly LOVE into this pen and the work behind it.

The pen will include:

🐓 1 Black rooster — split to Chocolate & split to Mottled
🐔 2 Chocolate hens — split to Mottled
🐔 1 Mauve Naked Neck Silkie hen — split to Mottled
🐥 1 Chocolate Mottled grow-out — and honestly, this one is looking pretty boyish to me because of the redness coming in around the comb area 👀

There is a LOT of history behind this project.

This boy originally came from High Rock Chicks, and my lovely friend Karen, High Rock Chicks, and I all put money together to have around 10 or so of the boys tested.

We already knew they were split to Mottled, but we needed to find out which boys were also split to Chocolate. Once we had the testing done, my friend got her pick, and I got the next pick.

And let me tell you… these boys are BEAUTIFUL, and the girls are absolutely STUNNING. 😍❤️

I was so excited about what I had because I knew exactly where I wanted to take this project.

My ultimate goal was to work toward that beautiful mulberry-colored comb with dark skin, using a double-split-to-split breeding — a rooster split to Chocolate and Mottled over girls split to Mottled.

I had a vision for this project, and I had put so much into getting it to this point. I was just getting it going, and there was still so much I wanted to accomplish with these birds.

That's what makes letting this pen go so difficult. 😭❤️

This isn't just a group of chickens I decided I didn't want anymore.

This pen represents money invested, birds tested, hours of driving, research, studying genetics, planning pairings, and countless hours of work.

I truly hope whoever ends up with this group continues the work.

I hope they see what I saw in these birds. I hope they understand the potential sitting in this pen and take the project even further than I was able to. ❤️

And I want to make something very clear:

Mother Clucker Silkies is NOT closing. 🐔❤️

I will still be here. I’m simply going to be focusing on my three truest passions — the lines that I have put the most love, time, money, dedication, hours of driving, and studying into.

🍫 Chocolate Silkies
💜 Mauve Silkies
🎨 Chocolate Paint Silkies

Those three lines are here to stay. That's for certain. ❤️

By downsizing some of my other projects, I’ll actually be able to focus MORE on these three lines without having so many different projects pulling my attention in different directions.

I have two duplexes available for my breeding program. My plan is to use two pens for Chocolate Paint, with the other two available pens dedicated to my Chocolate and Mauve Silkie lines.

I will still have Naked Necks, just not as many as I have had before — and honestly, that's okay. ❤️

I’m happy knowing I still have these lines that I can hold onto and continue putting my heart into.

There is also a possibility that I may be listing one of my Paint lines, but I need to talk to a friend first because they have already expressed interest in claiming it. I want to give them as much time as they need, but I also need to make absolutely sure they are certain before I make any decision to list that line publicly.

The reason I’m making these changes is because we really need a new vehicle. 🚗💔

Our current vehicle is starting to fall apart, and I honestly don't know how much longer it's going to make it. I'm trying to scrape together everything I possibly can to help us get into something reliable.

I don't know exactly how everything is going to work out yet.

Honestly, I'm scared.

But I'm trying.

I'm trying to make the best decisions I can with what I have, even when those decisions hurt.

I just pray we can figure out what to do. 🙏

And I hope that whoever gets this Mottled pen understands that they aren't just buying a group of chickens.

They're getting a project that I poured my heart into. ❤️

They're getting the result of friends coming together, investing in testing, selecting beautiful birds, researching genetics, and working toward a very specific goal.

I had this project going, and I truly hope someone picks it up and keeps going where I left off.

🐔✨ Sometimes you have to let go of a piece of the dream to protect the parts of the dream that mean the most. ✨🐔

Thank you to everyone who has supported Mother Clucker Silkies, followed my projects, purchased birds, shared my posts, or simply cheered me on.

And a special thank you to Karen and High Rock Chicks for being part of the beginning of this project and helping make the testing possible. ❤️

I appreciate you all more than you know. 🥹❤️

More pictures and details of the MOTTLED project pen will be coming soon.

Please share with anyone who might be interested. 🐔❤️

🖤 4 BLACK SILKIE-FEATHERED SILKIES AVAILABLE! 🖤

I have 4 beautiful black Silkies looking for new homes! 🐥🖤

✨ Silkie feathering only — no satin, no frizzle!
🧬 Potentially split to mottled — a fun opportunity for anyone working on a mottled project!

⚠️ Genetics note: These are only potentially split to mottled, so there is no guarantee they carry the gene. And remember, both parents must carry the mottled gene for mottled offspring to be possible. Having one bird that carries mottled by itself will not produce mottled babies.

These could be a great addition to a breeding program for someone wanting to work with black Silkie feathering and potentially introduce mottled genetics into their lines! 🖤🐣

💜🐔 A Decision I Put Away Years Ago… But My Heart Never Did. 🐔💜There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time...

💜🐔 A Decision I Put Away Years Ago… But My Heart Never Did. 🐔💜

There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and I’ve finally decided it’s time to listen to my heart again.

Before I ever set out on the journey to create my heart’s desire of Chocolate Paint Silkies, I had another dream tucked away in the back of my mind: Mauve Paint. 💜🎨

Years ago, I was told by many people that it was unethical, that I shouldn’t pursue it, and that I should leave it alone because it wouldn’t fit within the standard.

So I put that dream away.

But sometimes you can put a dream on a shelf, and your heart still keeps reaching for it.

Mauve Paint still speaks to me. 💜

I know I show birds. I know what the standards are. I understand why breeders work so hard toward them, and I respect that process.

But I also believe there’s room in this world for something that doesn’t exist simply because it checks every box on a show standard.

Sometimes you can produce something over and over again that isn’t considered standard and still look at it and think:

“This is beautiful. This is unique. This is something I want to create.” 🥹💜

And that is exactly how I feel about Mauve Paint.

So I’ve decided I’m going to give myself permission to pursue this dream.

But this project will remain completely separate from my Chocolate Paint project. 🍫🎨

I have worked incredibly hard on my Chocolate Paint line. That project has my heart, and I want to protect what I’ve built. My Chocolate Paint pen will continue to be dedicated specifically to producing Chocolate Paint. That is the goal, and I don’t want to muddy those genetics by combining the two projects.

Because of that, I’ve decided to sell my regular Paint pen to make room for this new project. 🐔

And I’m also seriously considering letting go of my Mottled Split pen as well, simply because I need to make more space.

There are only so many pens I can keep, and if I’m going to take on another heart project, I need to be intentional about where my birds, space, time, and resources go.

So this isn’t me abandoning projects just because they aren’t exciting anymore.

It’s me making room for something my heart has wanted for years. 💜

I don’t need this Mauve Paint pen to be something I sell to other breeders.

I don’t need it to be a show project.

I don’t need everyone else to understand why I love it.

This can simply be my heart’s desire.

A little corner of Mother Clucker Silkies where I get to create something because I LOVE it. 🐔💜

And maybe someday there will be someone looking for a pet—not a show bird. Someone who wants something completely different. Someone who sees a Mauve Paint Silkie and falls in love with it the same way I have.

And if I can create those birds and place them with people who simply appreciate their beauty and uniqueness, then that makes the journey worth it to me.

Not everything beautiful has to be made for the show table.

Not everything unique has to fit perfectly inside a standard.

Sometimes, beauty exists simply because someone dreamed it, worked for it, and refused to stop loving it. 💜

People spend so much time trying to make everything fit perfectly into a standard, and I understand why. I’m a breeder and a show exhibitor too.

But I also believe there is something magical about creating something different.

Something you don't see everywhere.

Something that may not be considered standard, but is still absolutely beautiful.

So after years of putting this dream away…

I’m bringing it back. 💜🎨

🐔 The Mauve Paint project is coming to Mother Clucker Silkies.

It will be its own separate heart project, completely apart from my Chocolate Paint line.

I don’t know exactly where this road will take me. I don’t know how long it will take. I don’t know what genetics will throw at me along the way.

But I know one thing:

My heart wants these birds.

And sometimes, that’s reason enough to try. 💜🐔✨

🍃🌸 Honestly, I wish we could just skip the extremes! 😂

Give me basically ALL YEAR of spring 🌷🌱 with beautiful flowers, fresh green grass, comfortable temperatures, and that perfect feeling in the air…

Then give me 2 months of fall 🍂🎃 because I do love the colors, cozy vibes, and changing leaves.

But NO summer. NO winter. 😂❌☀️❄️

No sweating my ass off, no freezing my ass off… just flowers, cool breezes, pretty leaves, and perfect weather ALL YEAR LONG! 🥰🌸🍂

Now THAT would be absolutely PERFECT! 😍💯

🦆💙 RO###Y ANDREWS MISSED ME! 😂🥹

I walked in and apparently my boy had decided that I had been gone for WAY too long! 😂 He DEMANDED his walk AND his cuddle session immediately! 🥰🦆

Nothing says “I missed you” quite like a demanding Muscovy Duck following you around until he gets the attention he wants! 😂❤️

Ro###y Andrews knows exactly how to get his way—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🥹🦆💕

🐔🍫 ISO: DARK CHOCOLATE SILKIE ROOSTER 🍫🐔

I’m on the hunt for a really nice, DARK chocolate boy to bring into my breeding program! 👀🤎

The darker the chocolate, the better! 🍫🍫🍫 I’m specifically looking for a deep, rich chocolate male with good type, correct toes, and nice toe spacing.

This boy would be taking over for my current chocolate male in the Chocolate Paint breeding pen. 🎨🐔

I’ve been working SO HARD on this Chocolate Paint project for the past couple of years. There has been so much research, time, effort, breeding, and patience poured into this project, and I want to make sure the next boy I bring in is going to help me continue improving the line.

🍫 Deep, DARK chocolate — darker is better!🐔 Good Silkie type🦶 Correct toes & good spacing✨ Nice structure🧬 Good genetics preferred❤️ Quality over convenience

I’m not looking for just any chocolate rooster. I’m looking for the RIGHT chocolate boy for a project I’ve poured my heart into.

If you have one that might be a good fit, please send me pictures, age, genetics, and location. 📩

I’m willing to wait for the right boy. This Chocolate Paint project is too important to me to settle! 🍫🎨❤️

Hopefully someone will be willing to meet me in Albemarle nc
