Thank you!! I’m thrilled, I wanted grey/blue instead of black so I lucked out! And the buffs will be so pretty 🥺❤️

It is so weird watching them grow in… cause they’ll get those weird pin looking feathers, and now the fluff is starting to grow over it. Seeing silkies feathering vs regulars is so odd for my first time! Lol

Here’s my runt (who has grown so much since these pics a few days ago!!) and in the background of one of the pics you can see the others. The other yellow ones have a liiiittle bit of the stripes like the one I originally posted about, but are moreso all yellow like the runt I have here.

This is one of the dark ones, but all 4 of the dark ones look exactly like this. (Side note, will I ever be able to tell them apart? lol)

They came from tractor supply so I’m assuming not bred in any pure form lol. I got 5 yellow ones and 3 that I think are going to be black/blue, leaning towards blue because they’re a light grey now.

Here’s another picture where you can see the head poof, and it does have feathered legs, black skin (I’ve seen their butts lol)… is it really not a silkie? :(

This baby here was sold to me, along with 8 other siblings, as a silkie. Its siblings definitely are all silkies, but I noticed this one has some really interesting colors coming in on the wings… any idea what I’ve got here?

If I’ve really been lucky enough to get 12 chicks from Tractor Supply and they’re all pullets then damn I need to go buy a lottery ticket haha!

Hey all. So I’ve got two lavender orpingtons that I’m pretty stumped on. I know one is definitely a hen, but here’s my dilemma. The other one I was certain was a roo, because of the tiny tail and overall body posture. However they’re 7 and a half weeks old now and the combs are pretty much the...

Thank you! She is so gorgeous. Somehow I luck out with my birds!

Thanks! Silkie wouldn’t be surprising as the farm had them, but do you really think roo? I have another who is absolutely a boy and the comb is very orange/red, and they’re the same age!

This is my girl Kamikaze. She’s definitely earned the name and always dive bombing under the other girls since the first day we got her. She’s probably about 6-8 weeks old here? She’s very cuddly when I hold her, and loves to perch on my arm more than any of the others. I love my Kamikaze...

he’s walking on his tip toes which is making him lose his balance and kind of wobbly forward and back. He’s spending a lot of time sitting too so he’s definitely trying to rest it. He’s putting his weight on it and not favoring either leg. He’s just clearly in pain when walking, and he’s furious...

My rooster is wobbling all over the place and struggling to walk. Still eating and drinking. He’s been having issues walking for a few days and I’ve been trying different home remedies.. I’ve put poultry cell in their water, I gently scrubbed his feet and applied petroleum jelly in case he had...

Here’s an update on my girl. She seems to be in much better spirits! Comb and wattle still bright red, laying eggs still. Now I’ve gotten a better video of that hurt foot... anyone have any idea??? I brought her out of the coop to get some sunshine. She’s been spending her days in the coop but...
