Breeding pairs, trios, hens, roos, uns*xed juvies, and uns*xed chicks. Entire flock of blue/splash silkies. 12 adults, 7 juvies, and 13 chicks under 2 weeks old (more are hatching, some are getting picked off by a snake).
Video isn't of all of them. Some are sitting on eggs and/or chicks.
Three hens are on eggs which go with them.

High breeding quality. If I were willing to take the risk of showing, they'd be show quality.
Please pm for info.
Northwestern Goochland county, halfway between Richmond and Charlottesville.

"Wee" has dropped his train. Last feather fell this morning. Which makes it the perfect time to transport...no broken tail feathers!!!
For twin Ben Franklins, you can have him!
Northwestern Goochland county, can deliver within reason for reimbursement of mileage.

He is black shoulder india blue split to white, and a proven breeder in his prime. His train (when fully grown out) is over 6 feet long. He was born in July of 2013.

I've come to the decision to let go of my silkies and my peafowl. I just don't have the strength or energy for them anymore. My back is worse, my memory is worse, and I just can't handle the number of birds I have. I'm going to downsize to just a few large fowl hens and a rooster, so that I can continue to get a couple of eggs and to help keep the tick population down.

I will be working out the numbers over the next day or two. I'll get counts, and decide on pricing.
