Glitz and Glam Silkies and Rainbow Eggs

09/21/2026

Been MIA because I sold all but two silkies and then all my rainbow layers ended up dying so I kept having to start over . This summer was rough for keeping chicks alive . Pic of the two silkies I held back for a fun pen.

Sadly fowl pox took most of my growouts and left me with ones that I don't plan on using for my rainbow layer projects . Thankfully I found a few amazing breeders and purchased some amerucauna eggs,whitting true blue eggs and some amazingly gorgeous olive eggs in all shades of greeñ

Getting my rainbow layers up and going is going to take longer than I expected, just lost 75% of my grouts to foul pox and I'm starting over with incubating amerucaunas,whiting true blues and some gorgeous backcross olive egger eggs.

Lordy when it rains it pours all my grow outs have fowl pox (this is not something I would ever cull for I live in South Carolina where the mosquitoes over the summer are insane and there is really no way to prevent it) looks like operation rainbow laying flock might be taken longer than expected a few of the younger ones just couldn't pull through it.

I did hold two silkies back after selling all my breeders , my husband told me I'd go into silkie withdrawal if I sold them all . So I kept these roos and this girl.

Will have two pens for 🌈 eggs pen 1 will be all my dark layers under a dark roo (not sure who the roo will be yet) Pen 2 will be all my blue green layers under a amerucauna roo.(Should consist of Americana aka Easter egger, amerucauna and salmon faverolla. Stay tuned(I did hold back a few silkies but am not focusing on that right now )

So I ended up selling off pretty much all of my adult silkies I still have some growing out that I'm going to hold back I just needed to restart and really focus on what it is that makes me happy and I want to do, right now I'm focusing on putting the Rainbow Laying flock together and I'm going to do silkies very very small scale ,they're just so incredibly hard and expensive to try to keep healthy and alive and most of the medications that I used on them aren't approved to use on birds who you are using for eggs so my husband was starting to get a little frustrated that we had chickens and we couldn't even eat the eggs 😂
