blue silkie

Hi All, our little blue silkie chick was hatched 4/20 and is 4 weeks old, purchased at a feed store. She is clearly a runt and growing and feathering at an extremely slow pace, in the beginning I had to keep her warmer and feed her extra on the side. But my question is on her feathers, do I need...

Hi, so I’m thinking my blue silkie is a rooster. We only have one silkie so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but from what I’ve read online I’m leaning towards rooster. BUT compared to my other 3 chickens, who are all obviously hens, my silkie is very shy & the hens all pick on them too...

Howdy BYC! Tonight was hatch day for the last set of shipped eggs for the year. I won an auction I didn't expect to win for some bearded silkies and, after using HatchBright liberally almost every day when I opened the lid, I had a perfect hatch in my incubator, my very first ever! I am so...

I just jumped on the Silkie train and I’ve been absolutely LOVING the Silkie life. I know the sexing of them is difficult, but they’re starting to show more of their nature and I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thinks the genders are? Check out the attachments! I have: 1 large...

I'm looking for some Bantam eggs. Of blue,red and paint to start up my desired flock. I thought I would ask here since I've had not a lot of luck.

I was told by the breeder that I got these two silkies from that they were both blue silkies. One is 5 months old (first three photos) & one is 6 weeks old (last two photos). I am very new to owning chickens and really don't know much about silkie coloring. But...aren't these white and not blue...

Just letting anyone raising any blue or black silkies in southern New Hampshire this year that I can home a rooster when you find out the gender. Currently my chicks are less than a week old (5/20) so no rush. I did not buy any black or blues as will plan to acquire one when someone wants to...

Hi there, I received some day old chicks from mypetchicken.com on the 20th of August, so they are about 17 days old. I ordered one black silkie, one Mille Fleur d’uccle, and one blue silkie. Now I know the blue silkies are a mutated color so they can turn out blue, black, or splash, but mine...

Hi everyone! I have 3 (possibly 4) supposed silkie cockerels to rehome. They’re all from Meyer Hatchery and are vaccinated for Mareks. I’m in CT, but I would be willing to ship. There are two blacks, and one or two blues. If there’s any interest, let me know! :) Number 1: Number 2...
