I have 8 boys looking to fly. There’s one photo for each one, feel free to message me any follow up questions since I’ll have a little bit of free time the next couple of days.

I’m located in South Florida, these are for local pickup currently as it’s too hot for shipping.

Hey everyone, I currently have a handful of Mille Fleur and Red Mottled boys that can fly the coop. I think one would even work great for a Blue Laced Red project. Some are full mottled and some are split to mottled but all have at least 1 copy of the mottling gene.

I don’t currently have any girls available at this time.

I’ll be posting pictures later this week so let me know if you’re interested!

Hey everybody, it’s been a long time since I’ve last posted.

I want you all to know I’m still here and I’m still breeding, I’ve just cut back a lot. I’m currently finishing up nursing school and while I want to keep up with my hobby, I’ve had to cut back so that I also have plenty of time to study and focus on school.

I currently only work with Silkies at the moment, and only in three colors. Chocolate/Mauve/Mauve Splash, Black/Blue Mottled, and Red Mottled.

While I hatch and grow out a handful of chicks every now and then, it’s nothing like how I used to. So I won’t have a ton of birds available. I’m in the middle of redesigning my breeding pens so I don’t really have eggs available at this moment either. Though hopefully I will in the future.

Thank you everyone who continues to support me! I hope by next year I can be back into the full swing of things and working on my birds like I used to.

Happy new years!

Photo dump of my Mottled growouts! They’re starting to look good at almost 3 months.

Here are some of the charts I made a bit ago. I gotta find where I saved the other ones.

I’ve been trying to make different charts for different genes and posts about the genetics of birds and how I’ve been working with mine.

Didn’t realize how similar to these two look 😂. I think her name should be Pinecone.

Sorry I haven’t been replying to messages and questions. We had to deal with the hurricane down here, even if it was minor. I ended up losing a couple birds because of a freak branch.

I’ll get back to everyone shortly, but it’s possible I’m no longer going to work on my Wheatens as I lost my rooster and don’t have a male for them.

Some adorable little Mottleds that hatched these past two days. Still have a few more coming! Can’t wait to grow them out.

This is the youngest male I currently have in a Chocolate pen. I don’t even have a name for him yet, I’m open to suggestions.

He’s about 7 months old now, and is Black split to Chocolate. I currently have him over Chocolate and Mauve pullets and hens.

I’m really excited for a lot about his type. He has an amazing cushion, nice height to it. A great crest, good toes, nice foot feathering. And his bone structure seems to be growing good so far.

Honestly his only major concern are his wings. But I have him in with my nicest winged girls to try and fix that. Hopefully he’ll bring plenty to the table with his offspring, though it might be a short while until he’s fully ready to go.

I’m in love with these two! I can’t wait to see what they produce. Of course, their flock mates are beautiful as well. Such an exciting project.

Trying to get a photo of all these girls was impossible, so video it is.

Loving how they look and can’t wait for them to begin laying again after this heat wave. I’ve got a fan in there for them right now.

There’s something so nice about a well bred bird.

I love all chickens, but there is something so different and beautiful about a bird that’s been bred with precision and hard work. They have beautiful type and gorgeous pattern, and they look leagues better than their hatchery counterpart.

While mine are not yet at the point I would like them to be, I’m seeing amazing improvements each generation and it pleases me.

So even though my regular laying chickens are pretty. The ones I’ve worked hard on and watched improve on mean so much to me.

These birds are ones I’ve produced using that hard work. And to see where I started and how far I’ve come. I’m incredibly happy. Still more work to do and I’m excited for what’s to come.

These gals look like they’re having some pretty intense meetings. And are upset I’m butting in 😅

I have two pet quality pullets looking to sprinkle.

1 Chocolate Silkie
1 Mauve Satin

Both have straight combs and kinda messy wings.

It’s too hot to travel at this moment but should be good sometime next month.

All my Chocolates and some Paints out running together while I finish up a project that is going to change a lot of things.

So excited to be almost done in this Florida heat!

I have six older chicks available, 8 weeks old.

These are all pet quality as they either have incorrect combs or less than 5 toes on both feet. They come from my test breeding of a Blue split male over Chocolate females.

2 Mauve Satins
1 Black Silkie (little silver leakage)
2 Chocolate Silkies
1 Chocolate Satin

Chicks are straight run and for local pickup or 🚢.

Pm me for questions.

Are you more of a white spots on black or black spots on white type of person?

For me it’s both! I’m loving these two pullets from my Mottled and Paint pens. They’re growing up so different, and that Mottled is slow to grow in her spots, but they’re so cute together!
