My silkie chickens Salt and Pepper are pampered, especially since having had a cold in their young lives. They've recovered (for the most part, Salt has always looked sickly) and are full of energy. I knew they were better when they started chronically knocking over their food and water bowls. They spend their afternoons outside in this tiny enclosure and I took these photos to show their progress.

They're growing and getting stronger by the day. I can feel it when I pick them up in the morning. They're just bigger and their muscles are more pronounced.

I'm a little attached to these birds to say the least. These are likely going to be bred and their babies sold once I've made enough for myself to be satisfied. This breed is also known for it's extreme tendency to go broody which means they love to sit on eggs, making them live egg incubators.

I still don't know their gender, but I'm hoping for a boy and a girl. The plan is to try and get more regardless, but still our sources are hours away and would require travel.
