I am having the hardest time finding silkie chicks in Oregon this year. I’m in the Willamette Valley but willing to travel around the state for pickup.
I have a black silkie who went broody weeks ago. I gave her some eggs about 9 days ago. Her sister, the frizzle, decided she is broody too, but I kept kicking her out of her nest, and she was less consistent.
Fast forward to yesterday, I came home from work and found my black silkie with the...
I have a blue splash frizzled silkie rooster and a frizzled silkie hen (not sure what her color would be?) they are in a pin together and I’m curious about hatching chicks from them? I know you can’t breed two frizzles? But I’m having a hard time finding info on the ‘sizzles’ breeding. I’m...
Thank you so much for this info! What do yours look like! I’m very interested, and pet quality should be fine. I’m not breeding them, they are just pets for me and my daughters :)

My 5/6 month old silkie has been struggling with this goopy eye since I brought her home. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve done terramycin several times, I tried Neosporin (non medicated) all my birds went through a preventative round of corid. I clean her up all the time and I don’t know...
Thank you for this information! It is very helpful.
Not all my chickens are silkies but I do have a handful of them and they are all fine!
She’s the only one acting like this.
Is corid for worms? I’ve been monitoring her poop for 3 days now and haven’t noticed any.
...no blood in her poop.
I checked her all over for injury, her feet look great, and crop feels empty.
My other 22 chickens are completely fine.”
***update, she’s still alive but about the same. She did eat, but has gone back to not. She’s regularly pooping so she must be sneaking food and water...
