Yeah, Im already wanting to keep everyone! I HAVENT started naming, jeez, i would die if i did that and then had to give them away, I had 2 chosen, both white silkies (because that was ALL that was supposed to be coming- 25 white silkies) And im sure im keeping the one! She's so sweet, but im not sure about the other one, she's now getting kind of skiddish.. so, i dont know who else im gonna keep, if not ALL of them! I dont wanna keep any of the mystery breeds, but I do at the same time, you know? They not at all what i wanted, but they're just so dang cute! I think for now, im gonna stay with the ONE i have picked out, keep working with that one, and handle all the other ones to see who works best for me. Oh yeah, and anyone have any insight about runny poop? I think i've got 3 with runny poop.

Oooh! Idea! Since im having the hardest time in the world deciding what color to keep of the silkies (besides the white one big_smile loooove her!) I COULD just keep 3 and have one of each color! Good idea? I think so! The only reason i didnt think of this before is because 3 is my LEAST favorite number.. it just feels like one's always being left out... sad

What do you guys think?

chickie how about 4? Or all of the silkies? The longer they are with u, the more attached you'll get. Oftentimes the roos are the 'friendliest' in the beginning 'cause they're a little bolder. I wouldn't worry bout the poop, just add a bit of regular oats to the feed, keep an eye out for pasting up.

Just sprinkle a fine layer of oatmeal (daily) over their food...this should clear up their runny poo and it will prevent Pasty Butt.

I agree with Spicoli ... I'd keep 'em ALL!

excited

big_smile Thanks everyone. I will try the oatmeal thing. And I would looove to keep them all.. unfortunately, i dont have room for THAT many silkies. sad I will try for one of every color though, i still dont like the idea of having 3 though. Illl give it a shot though smile

Jae, splash? What do you mean? And YES! The EE's are adorable! Wish i could keep some of them too.. but i cant sad
