no, the silkie is from an older group...
was just wanting to know how much time i should give my unhatched eggs to hatch? i will do the best i can with my little solo chick...it seems to be doing pretty good so far...
Should i wait one to two more days?
when should i remove the little chick to the brooder? the closest thing i have to its size is a 4 wk old small meek silkie chick, but doubt thats a wise idea. i will leave it in the bater as long as possible to wait for more to hatch... not sure when...
i got two pekin ducklings around the same time as you at the tractor supply store. I bought my yellow bundles of joy march 1st, so assuming they were about one week when i got them, they are now around 11 weeks. I knew the difference between my two at around 5 weeks. i have never owned ducks...
i have two 10 wk old pekin ducks. they have been swimming in my pool since they were 6 weeks old. They love it!! they get to free range about 2 hrs a day 4 days a week. they get the option of going in the pool if they decide. they have a kiddie pool in their dwelling as well, but it gets...
i wanted to thank you for your post. so far i have lost two small, white silkie chicks. i find that they seem to be more timid and meek. i have a black and a partridge silkie chicks and they both are more astoot and seem very active, where as my last white one who appears healthy and happy...
I did end up losing that baby chick, such a shame. I ran right out and replaced it, with yet another tiny little white fluff ball that seems a lot more resilient, but after four days she died too. she had what seemed to be an umbilical cord still on her that was draining. I have 3 very...
Yesterday I bought 3 silkie chicks from a man who to me seemed a bit shady, but the chicks were cute and i wanted to save them, so i got the tiniest chick i have ever seen and two others. being a new chicken mom, i have 7 wk olds, 4 3 wk old marans, and now these guys. i new to check for...
im new to chickenry, but i am in florida and i too had my chicks in my house until i just couldn't bare it, being a first time owner i was skeptical. It gets warm here, high 80's during the day and as low as 49 at night. I had a rabbit run type of cage, and had them in it at 5 weeks outside, i...
I got this baby two days ago and already seemed to be in poor shape. The lady i got them from just had them in a large cold box, no heat, no food and a cap of water. they were tiny. She is a silkie chick, and i am assuming they are small in size since her sister is about the same size, but...
i too bought two little yellow peepers in the tractor supply and didn't know what i was getting into. but i have never loved a duck so much as i do my boy Milton and my girl Ollie. i would recommend the pekin duck also. what wonderful creatures.
