Showcase Silkies

12/25/2024

This double silver from Rustic Roost Silkies moved outside today to have a couple ladies of his own.
This Romeo stole the hubbie’s heart and they hung out together each day. Romeo must have been a falcon in his previous life as this is his favorite position and sits for as long as you will hold him up high 😁
Excited about the gorgeous and more balanced whites to come! 🤩🤩

Merry Christmas Eve my friends!
I’ve been taking some much needed time away and am healing following surgery.
Will be back in full swing in a few months in full hatching mode and excited to see how my new boys perform!

Quarantine life is so tough here 🤣

Devastation and loss hits especially hard this time of year.
Please consider supporting our sister in her family’s time of need.

It’s a beautiful day in Northern Michigan!
The snow has melted as quickly as it appeared, the sky is blue, and a few tiny tweaks to the palace are finished! 🤩

We installed a couple of LED grow lights for those days when the barn doors can’t be opened so they can still have some good light for a couple of hours.

Electricity is run, heaters installed for the grow outs, waterers all plugged in, and now lights.
We are ready for you, Old Man Winter!🥶

Are you ready for winter?

Last call to get your birds on transport!
New route for next weekend
I have 2 white chicks, a buff satin frizzle, and a buff frizzle, all off heat- almost 2 months old.

This dominant white is so sweet - from another breeder. No longer breeding this color.

Transport will pick up from me this Monday. You can still get on the current route, beyond stop 9

12/05/2024

These are all available again for transport next week!
We couldn’t make the transport work, so their loss is YOUR gain!

If you are beyond stop #9 and interested in 2 older white chicks (6 weeks and off heat but not outside) or either guy, let me know fast to make it happen!

Dominant white from paint and satin frizzled buff. They were in a boy pen. The buff was a bit rough with the other guys and is large and in charge or I wouldn’t move him along - hence the missing feathers.
The dom white gave me gorgeous paints with little leakage, which I no longer breed. Good wings, combs, and beautiful toes. I think they are both about 18 months old but will send dates on their passports.

🎁ALL HAVE BEEN CLAIMED🎁

These boys are available for the upcoming transport.

I had intended to utilize the buff, but he has not been suitable for my cockerel pen due to his behavior towards the other boys, resulting in him missing tail feathers. He possesses great coloration and well-spaced toes.

The dominant white, sourced from another breeder, has consistently produced birds with excellent type and color. As I am no longer breeding paints, I no longer require his services.

Neither has any faults with wings, toes, or combs.

I also have 2 white chicks, off heat, 5 weeks, that can ride 🚗
Still in the brooder, not yet outside, but probably by transport time!

PM for details!

My box that I won from CMH farm came today!

As soon as I cut the tape, it was like I had received a shipment from my spice company and not another farm! I had to open each bag and smell everything 🤩

As a nurse with an interest in holistic medicine, I’m super excited to learn how these will further benefit the health of my flock!

I’ve been watching this lost tracker off and on still, sort of enjoying its travels.

Those of you shipping through Phoenix may want to be careful - the tracker has been sitting there now 3 days and appears to have shuffled around the building.

What a beauty! 😍 Get in on this!
