:fl everything goes/went smoothly with the doctor and eye work. Looking fwd to a glowing report once you're home and rested/recovered. Sorry to "hear" that your left ear is still not working.

Miss @B&B Happy goats,

Had to go out of town and just now caught up.

Thank goodness the operation worked for you! I have been quite concerned about you with your hearing problems and then your vision problems. As nice a person as you are, it doesn't seem fair to have all of these problems. But I am glad you are better vision-wise. Please take care of yourself. We all want you to live a long and happy life and be our ray of sunshine here on BYH!

Not to burst your bubble, but the pictures you showed of the "silkies" are not silkies; at least the one with the barred pattern isn't. It looks like a barred cochin maybe.... Silkies do not have discernable feathers like you see on that bird. They do have "feathers" on their wings but the body "feathering" looks more like fluff and is actually "shredded" feathering. They also have black skin and features, and have a "puff" on top of their head, like a crest. Red faces, wattles etc are total disqualifications. They can have beards or not, but their claim to fame is the black skin. They would remind you of several puffs of cotton, all stuck together; top of head, around neck, breast, back, tail, thighs, with feathers on the feet and legs.

I have several chickens of differing breeds that match your description when they moult. Especially Persephone, she is a now 6.5 year old EE.
