Cotton's Silkies

Eggs are in lockdown and I am impatiently waiting, as usual, for these little fluffs to hatch!! I'm like an eager beaver 😂.

Every hatch is just as fun as the first and this hatch is my last until spring. (I say that now, but watch me end up doing more 🤷‍♀️, it's my addiction).

Getting ready to ship out this ornament I received an order for. For those of you who don't know, I have an Etsy store that I make and sell these. Believe it or not, I've only made 3 of these since making my first one.

I added more details to this one than what was posted, originally it didn't have the ice or as much detail on the feathers. I was feeling a little creative last night and said let's see how this goes. I hope my customer likes it, what do y'all think?

Thank you Janie for sharing a pic of your babies you got from us! Janie actually won our giveaway a while back and got to come and pick out some chicks. These are just a few of the ones she got from us. Look at how beautiful they are growing up to be.

I am so very proud of my silkies and satins for producing such lovely babies!! ❤️

Thank you so much Kimberly Feddon for sharing the photo of the baby chicks you got from us!! ❤️ Look how gorgeous and fluffy these babies have grown to be.

We are so proud of how our breeding is coming along, the strengthening of the bloodline, the beautiful dark skin, the crests, beards, combs, eyes, toes, wings and cushion have improved so much since we first started. With every hatch we get closer and closer to our dream goals of being SOP. We will get there, but like all things hard work,dedication and practice will make things perfect in time.

Haven't posted in a bit, but I've been EXTREMELY busy. We added two new members to our flock! Welcome home Brooklyn and Austin!! We are so excited to have them home. Brooklyn was my daughter Samantha's 4h goats this year and Austin was her good friend Hannah's. We decided to bring them home and save them from the meat locker. This is what we do over here, we save animals in need of loving homes.

My wonderful hubby built their stall in our shed by hand with no plans or blueprints. He is so incredibly talented and I am the luckiest woman alive ❤️. Oh, and he built that hay feeder too; using scrap wood and fencing. ☺️

I've also been working my butt off with two shifts a day on Amazon, plus caring for the house, the animals, and my family. If I haven't responded to messages yet, I will get back to you today, I promise!

Meet little cheesecake! Cheesecake is a beautiful mottled satin who is absolutely stunning from my breeding of mottleds. I've been working on trying to darken the skin and beaks and I'd say this one is absolutely a step closer! ❤️

Oh little cheesecake, you are only a few weeks old and sooo beautiful. I cannot wait to see you grow more! ❤️
