Our Chickens



~ROOS~

Jack
2008 White Bearded Silkie Bantam Rooster

Jack came to us from C&F Bantams in Collins MO. When I opened the shipping box I knew instantly we had purchased a very special bird. Jack went Best of Show at the 2008 Nez Perce County Fair. He has an awesome crest, sheddy tight wings, excellent toes and foot feathering.

Sam
2008 Splash Bearded Silkie Bantam Cockerel

Sam is a young cockerel that will make his show debut this spring. Stay tuned for photos of Sam when he's all grown up!

 

~HENS & PULLETS~

Pretty Butterfly
2008 White Bearded Silkie Bantam Hen

Pretty Butterfly the least showy hen of our flock but she has earned her place as 1st in the line up because she was here first and is a wonderful little momma hen. Lays lots of eggs and she is broody, broody, broody.....she would hatch out crocodile eggs if you let her. She also is nice and small and has a short back, large eyes, and correct toes. So, she's not perfect but has her redeeming qualities.

Julia
2008 White Bearded Silkie Bantam Pullet

Absolutely stunning young hen from C&F Bantams in Missouri. Julia took a first at the 2008 Nez Perce County Fair and will be shown again in 2009. She is an exquisite bird.

Sassy
2007 White Bearded Silkie Bantam Hen

This pullet has a nice shot back and huge eyes. Nice full cushion.

Beth
2008 White Bearded Silkie Bantam Pullet

Another gorgeous young hen from C&F Bantams in Missouri.


 

Silvia
2008 Blue Splash Bearded Silkie Bantam Pullet

Very pretty young splash from C&F Bantams. I will show this girl in 2009. Thanks Carol and Frank for this gorgeous bird and her buddy Sam!

Jody
2008 Buff Orpington Hen

This young Orpington was bought from our farm supply store to keep "Smokie" company as a chick. She remained true friends until fall of 08 and now I see she has teamed up with "Buffy" (below). Well, you know the saying - "Birds of a feather..."

Photo coming soon

Buffy
2006 Buff Orpington Hen

Ahhhh the best for last. :-)  We LOVE this chicken. She is a very good layer but is also very friendly and will follow you around. We got Buffy from Sundance Stock Farm in McMinnville, OR. Thanks Steve and Terry!
