How do I know what is my silkie
I got the same ones I love them they're cool 😁
When the world gives you lemons, buck up and make lemonade. Ride with the color leakage. It's unusual - and that makes it desirable. Besides, it's lovely. Viva la diferencia!!
Breed them and call the offspring Toasted Marshmallow Silkie.
I like yours better lolz
Ooak sells for much more money!
One of a kind = ooak
Love the Toasted Marshmallow name!!!!
I’ve got a grey silver silkie and a buff one.
I love their coloring, actually.😊
Yes! Definitely toasted marshmallow silkies! They're so unique and the orange leakage is beautiful
Yes! Toasted Marshmallow all the way - plus, it'll be less apparent when they're dirty!
Haha. I hadn't thought of that!
Brimwood Farm where can I get some of these from
@@mrstk8985 I got my silkies from a store called tractor supply but murry mc murry is an online place it's good and look at cregslist
Yes - I love the colour ! 'Toasted Marshmallow' -- a great description and really cute - I would buy them ! why not try something different, don't always go down the same route - boring ! please don't cull Barry- he is such a character.
Frugality from Weans Frugal World he really is. And as someone pointed out on Facebook, aren't these mistakes sometimes how new colours appear?! So I think I'll give it a go and see what happens!
Yes - you have produced a new colour ! this time next year, you could be a milionaire !
Keep breeding them. Love the color! This is how new colors are made.
Totally love the color. I love the description "toasted marshmallow" silkies. Great name! Beautiful birds.
In my opinion, that whimsical rusty color adds more character to them and I personally think it is a gorgeous breed all on to itself. Always be grateful of Mother Nature's moody twists and turns...nothing is perfect in nature, and that's what perfection is all about! Let it simply be.
I would be thrilled if this happened to me. Always looking for something different.
+Karen Bauman I'm looking forward to see future generations.
This is the reason new colours come about so I think you should keep them and keep on breeding .You can always cross in a 100% white hen into the flock if the brown colour takes over too much but from what I can see in the video the colouration looks pretty unique and I can't say over seen it before on other silkies
Thanks! Yep - I've not seen it either.....and I'm actually not sure I LIKE it. BUT, other people seem to so I'll persevere.
I really like those colours.
I love this color line....with my silkies I have ended up with black silkies with brown streaks throughout their entire body.
I've been looking up Silkie chicken videos all day and I think I'm obsessed over how this line develops lol. Future goal will be to start breeding myself down the line and stumbling onto a new variation is my dream. I think they are unique! Toasted Marshmallow is a great name and seems really marketable for the pet Silkie fans in my opinion.
+Jimmy Humphries thanks Jimmy. I'm excited to see how they come out!
Jimmy Humphries Yep!!
This reminds me of how the jewelry industry re-branded brown diamonds as "Chocolate diamonds" and made a basically low value item into a high demand product. Try the "Toasted Marshmallow" line and see if you have a market; you can always cull later.
It's too bad that's not a desirable trait, I think it's a lovely coloring! So unique, I've never seen it! I would love to have one for myself, so cute. :)
I think it's so unique I bet people would like to buy them!
I hope so!
im_actually_planning_to_buy_silkie_cause_they_look_cute__can_you_help_me_where_to_buy?
I think they are BEAUTIFUL! Bowie hair styles!
Love your chooks. All white silkies are almost common here in Western Australia and I find a bit common( still love them all) Much harder to find buff and speckled etc.
I like the color. Have always preferred chickens with multiple colors instead of solid ones.
I love the toasted marshmallow color! Thanks for the tips!
I like this color. This is how new colours come about! I hope you continued with this line. It's very appealing.
Definitely don't cull him he is beautiful and worth keeping, a new toasted marshmallow strain of silkies sounds very exciting to me. If you do decide to cull him please let me know first and I will come get him as long as you are in the uk I'm in portsmouth btw xx
+lucy hart definitely keeping him and going to spend 2018 breeding a new colour line!
Brimwood Farm cool I look forward to seeing how it all turns out! X
+lucy hart me too! I'll be picking out the hens to breed early next year so look out for a vid. :)
Love the colors together!
Thanks!
That color leak looks very cool!
I have never had that problem with my silkies but I'm so glad to learn this from your video. You have beautiful birds and you're right, he is loud for a Silkie, lol. Great video. Thanks for posting.
He's very loud! Thanks for your comment. :)
I do like the toasted marshmallow color!! And thanks for the info!
awesome color on the head 👍🏻👍🏻
it’s not just color-personality size etc etc
Love ❤️ that “Toasted Marshmallow”
Love 💕 💗!
Beautiful colors!! Keep it for such a different rare silkie color. Love it!!❤
I love the color! Gives personality
I love your chickie babies and him insisting on putting his two cents into your video kept me giggling. I HEAR YOU BARRY! 😍
Hahahahahhaha I love how you have that hilarious expression on when he crows and you have to wait for him to finish! On our farm we have roosters, peacocks and turkeys, who do that to us constantly. Thanks for the laugh, I enjoyed this vid and subscribed :)
I liked the look of the hens and the rooster was nice, anything different is valued so I'm sure you are going to do great selling them!
I spend my life waiting for him to finish. 😂😂 would love turkeys one day!
Love the look!
Barry is so proud! I also think this would be a popular new colour!
Thanks Sarah!
Very cool! They are the ginger/buff version of paint silkies. Wow! I think you are on to something.
+JJ Miller Thanks!
This is amazing brother 😊
I am just seeing this video now. I hope you chose to keep the line going. I would love to have a toasted marshmallow!
Love it! I would buy one for definite, this could actually turn into a new color line thingy
I would love to try and turn it into a colour line...that's the idea. Lots of chicks this year so I'll see how they turn out.
I love Barry's color and he seems to like to talk to just like one of my roosters. Love my chickens. I have 5 silky roosters so I am on the hunt for some females now.
FIVE of them?! LOL. I find Barry loud enough on his own! Good luck finding some girls. :D
I have it too, it’s a Puerto Rican and Irsh. It makes for a beautiful mix keep them and love them soo cute
Very interesting coloration. I like!!
I think the colouring is GORGEOUS! Especially the fluffy red top on the hens....Barry reminds me of a Hoatzin bird with his long coloured streamers....he's SO handsome.
I'm in the process of building a coop and run so I can have some chickens (well, I'm doing the research on caring for chickens and sketching designs and hubby Neil will be building it all LOL) and I'm 99.9% decided on Silkies as the ideal breed for us. I never knew about the colouring either - though, for now, don't have any plans to breed my birds.
Keep up the great videos....I've just discovered them on TH-cam and I'm really loving them.
Gill xx
Thanks Gill. I love him too...have some more babies about to hatch. I'm excited!! Good luck with your coop and birds :D
I love these so much.
+Daybird Aviaries they're growing on me. I'm still not convinced but everyone else seems to like them. Least it won't be so hard for me to sell them! 😂
That color is amazing. I love it
I like the color a lot! Keep it up!
I like that color very much. Seems a new silkie strain is beginning to show up.
I think they are beautiful...I love this color variation
Oh interesting video, I didn't know about this. I have a cockerel that's about 2 years old pure white and thought maybe he's a bit old for breeding but it's actually an advantage! Thanks. I think they're cute!
Those chickens are gorgeous!!
Am I the only one who loves the orange on the silkies I think it's lovely :)
You're not! I know others do to :D
Brimwood Farm they are gorgeous :)
❤the colour. Very unique
😂😂😂 such fun!!! Love the video! Love the rusty markings 😅
I like them. Cool different color. Keep breading them. 🥰
Toasted marshmallow- love it!
Nice breed of chicken, thanks for sharing🥰
Barry and his offspring are beautiful and unique!🥰❤
I like the color it gives them more character
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw them was. Wowwww, they are gorgous. I think you should try breeding more. The hen with the darker brown creat looks amazing!!!😍😍😍
My husband thought the exact same thing, kinda cute, different. Go w it!
Love the color!
I am actually so upset you talked about him in that manner 😂🤣😅 I think he looks stunning and very honestly I would buy him at anytime over a completely white chicken. They look amazing 👏😍
I like the silkies with the brown! I won’t mind having some of the brown! Much less call it a disaster!
I respect how u actually listen to ur hens 😂
I been looking for some of these
Did you end up breeding Barry? The colour is AMAZING!!
Its looks very nice and unique
I would love to order this colour over here 😍I love it
I find it looks quite nice!
That is awesome color. Especially how it’s only their crowns mostly.
I love his coloration.
That orange is absolutely beautiful.
I love breeding mixed breeds together because you never know what your going to hatch
A toasted marshmallow, I like. New breeds often start with a mutant gene. You can’t show, no breed standard. But for a home business the cute toasted marshmallow is a good way to stand out, pet chicken, not a breeder
+bayfire totally! As pet chickens go people seem to go a little mad over colour mutations in silkies...certainly here in the UK.
Gorgeous!
I do love a silkie!
Your silkies are beautiful….i love the color leak..just adds to the beauty of them..
Thank you :D
Just found your channel and I just adore the color and I think Toasted Marshmallow would be an amazing color line! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Beautiful chickens i just got my first chicks last week 2 are white one healthier than the other i like the brown marking
Love them!
Id say keep mr toasted marshmallow. Establish your color. As a backyard pet. Awsome. Looks nifty
I love the idea of Marshmellow silkies, BUT what you may end up with is a beautiful Buff flock.
I agree - that might well happen!
The hens are absolutely adorable with their orange/brown tops.
Thanks !
Love the colour
That brown looks beautiful
They are beautiful!
I LOVE them!
Absolutely love color
Love the colour ❤️
YES , I LIKE THE COLOR
Love the toasted marshmallows.
Love the marshmallows!!!
I think the toasted marshmallow look is cool. my flock is all about cool and unique looking chickens though.
lovely birds.
I kinda like the look of the red/brown head poof on the hens. Might be interesting inbreed a little to get it nice and solid. Then outbreed to higher quality whites, and tests for splits to improve the stock.
+Diq fur great advice! Thanks
That rooster is killing me lol 😂😂😂
Gorgeous!! Cafe Vienna Silkies.
I like the color. I think you should try to establish a new color pattern. This video is extremely helpful. Thank you.
Lol. I would love to get the darker redheaded hen. I would name her Lucy. Lol. Too cute
I don’t think it would necessarily work as a competition standard but yes, they are beautiful and I like the “Toasted Marshmallow” phrase to describe the colouring. I actually considered marking my white silkies with a small spot on their heads to tell them apart when they were growing (trying to work out how many roosters we had, if any). I thought it might also look quite stylish!
The main issue with Barry is actually the excessive crowing, in my opinion. Silkies are meant to be rather quiet (as far as I know) so having a fiesty rooster who is that vocal might continue in his male offspring.
Do you have any options to find a quieter, calmer rooster to breed with the hens? The toasted marshmallow ladies will still carry the dominant gene, so a standard white male with the calmer temperament might create a better bloodline. Also reduces the risk of genetic abnormalities from inbreeding the flock.
I love him I think they look really unique ❤️
