*Fav’s are sold*

I’m going to do one more clean out of birds before winter! These will be anything left over from the color pens I no longer breed, eggs I held onto and hatched, pretty birds I kept as pets but really don’t need…..

Here’s a list of what I will be posting, i will try to get pictures of individual birds and post. Understand that birds sell very fast so if you wait for pics, someone else may have already bought that particular bird! I go in order to be fair to everyone. I try to keep track of people looking for certain things but it’s very labor intensive so im just making this post. Please pm if you’re interested, birds are in Westminster Maryland so have transport arrangements in mind if you cant pick up. Birds are nicer than pet quality so if you are looking for an affordable girl as a pet- these are not the birds for you.

PAINT PAIR- yes, I’ll be letting ONE pair go this winter. One older laying pullet(has shown) and one paint cockerel with khaki leakage. She has outstanding wings and feet, dark eyes too! Hes young but has everything going for him to make a great breeder. He just has too much khaki leaksge to stay in my program😊

BLACK/LAV SPLIT PAIR- Black split pullet-gorgeous all around no defects and beautiful type! Had placed before multiple judges proven show bird-not cheap! Hes a black split boy with good everything EXCEPT comb. I wont lie, it’s ugly but you be the judge. The pullets comb is great!

BANTAM SALMON FAVEROLLES PAIR(S)- I’m parting with 2 pairs this winter. Both will consist of a hen(1.5 yrs), and a cockerel. Hen will be right out of my breeding pen which made the show birds from this season. Those offspring won multiple times including best trio, champ featherleg, champ bantam, reserve champ of show! Best of breed at Ohio nationals! I don’t sell many males so this is a rare chance to get this rare breed. I will continue to mentor the purchaser if they desire to set up a program and show.

OLD ENGLISH TRIO- cockerel and two pullets. Acclimated to living outside and not feral! Girls were raised indoors and are affectionate. Boy was raised by mom but was still handled. Girls are mauve and fawn silver duckwing. Boy is Silver duckwing with leakage. I will no longer be breeding or offering OE.

SERAMA PAIR(S)- Cockerel is a mauve mottled frizzle, girl is a beautiful choc/mauve mottled pullet. Currently living together. This is a flashy pair that will make beautiful babies and come from good lines. Will not be cheap. Potential to make a second pair with an exchequer cockerel if enough interest. I absolutely will not sell a lone female. I just dont have enough for myself right now. This pair is absilable because i was going to breed for tabletop fun colors. I have too much going on to focus on those.

CHICKS/Juviniles- Not sure colors and sexes yet. Most are straight run but i still need to sort them. Various ages and colors.

I’ve got too much on my breeding plate and have taken on multiple leadership positions with both the Silkie and Faverolles breed clubs. In addition I’m a state poultry tester and I continue to do seminars and mentor 4H families. Please be respectful of my time and dont reach out if you do not have the $ and transportation respurces for these birds. Ive had people drive 6 hours one way to pick up their birds in person! Trust me, they’re worth it❤️ You could easily walk into the show hall next spring with some of these birds 🏆

Some pics of actual birds, others of parents….

Update: Found a family!

Blue silkie cockerel looking for a family to spend Christmas with❤️

He’s such a good boy, currently lives with two outside other boys and is friendly.

He’s vaccinated, has ABA legbands, and good type. His comb and wattles are a little large, color is great. He needs some ladies in his life 🌲

There are no words to express how deeply saddened I am to hear of your passing Liz💔

You were a feisty lady, I loved our chats! So glad I got to see you in Ohio, you were in great spirits even making jokes! You gave me the keys to my paint program and have been so supportive over the years, taking the time to mentor me when I was a newbie. Love ya girl, there will never be another like you in this hobby😢. Rest easy with the angels

**Update: All are sold!**

Due to some issues with USPS, the Whites I posted are available locally.

They are great type, no DQ, some have shown- placing BV. I would like all 4 to go as a flock. There are 2 hens, 1 pullet, and 1 cockerel. Once cockerel goes i would be willing to seperate girls.

MUST be willing to pick up or have a transport lined up! I do not hold birds, first one to commit gets them. This means if you have questions and want lots of pics/videos, someone else can still purchase.

Absolutely no shipping! Must be picked up in Westminster Maryland, or be using a transport.

Gotta love Facebook! I typed out all the results from the VA Poultry Breeders Show and with one click it was gone😔. Lets try again:

Had a great time this weekend at the Virginia Poultry Breeders Association - VPBA fall double card show! Almost 200 silkies, the competition was fierce! 🔥 It was cold and rainy but it was nice to see so many friends in one place!

Best placings…..(not typing every placing again- it took forever)

Paint Pullet(s)- BV both cards 🏆
Blue H- RV White card
Brd Blue NN K- BV both cards
Non-brd Paint NN P- RV Blue Card

I also took black and splash, almost everyone got placings 1-5❤️

Salmon Trio-
P - RV Blue card
p
K - BV Both Cards, BB White Card

Display P - RV RB White Card
K - 1 Both cards
H- 1 Both Cards
C - 1 Both Cards

*** I was dissapointed Blue card show was not judged for BB and RB in the Salmons, an oversight I think😢. It happens I guess. Sucks because it affects my display points and I worked hard to meet the requirements and bring 7 consistent birds from my breeding. This is the part of showing that forces you to be humble and stay professional. I see so many popular breeders critiquing judges because their birds didn’t win, or trying to blame the judge. The judges are human, and sometimes shows make mistakes or coop cards are wrong, or birds are not organized properly, or the clerks weren’t updated on changes by the show….it happens. We need to show some grace and set an example. Or better yet, volunteer to help the show next year! Just my thoughts😊

Salmons earned several special awards for rare breed with the SPPA!
