Hello! I’ve seen in here that a lot of people have had trouble with silkies roosting, but my roo as well as my first girl always went straight to the roost whenever it was bed time. I wonder if having them with other chicken breeds helped with this? I also have 6 1 month old babies and two are...

So I got 12 chickens a little over 2 months ago, but so far the three I’ve shown pictures of on here have been labeled the wrong breed🙄.

Hello! I bought some chicks a while back that were labeled “assorted cochin bantam”, but from the pictures my girl seems to be a lot fluffier than the rest. Here is her today, is she a silkie or silkie mix? She also has the blue on the side of her face which I read was a silkie thing. Her name...
