Thank you. That’s what I thought too. I can’t have a rooster and am so sad to part with this beauty!

can anyone help me sex this 3 week old Favaucana? Thanks!

these dudes need a new home asap! Crowing up a storm and waking my entire neighborhood! I have 2 pure Silkies Roos and a Polish/Silkie cross roo. They are all sweet, friendly and don't mind being held. I live in Bedford NH and I would be happy to drop them off anywhere in NH. If I can't find a...

Check out my Fresh Eggs Coop! https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/fresh-eggs-coop.72949/

Sexing help please. it's still early, they are only 8 weeks old. They all look like cockerel's to me but I'm hoping at least one is a hen!! They're so cute with their Mama!! I could watch them all day!

Silkie's are the MOST AMAZING MOTHERS!!! I hatched 6 chicks about 3 weeks ago and I have a very broody silkie who was sitting on nothing for over a week. I slipped the 3 silkie chicks under her wings in broad daylight and she accepted and loved them immediately. I thought for sure they were...

Can anyone tell me what color this little one is considered? She has the most beautiful champagne colored feathers. He/she is the product of a white Silkie roo and partridge Silkie hen. Thank you!!

Did you end up breeding these two? Can you post some pics? I'm planning on breeding my white Silkie roo with my white crested black polish hen this spring.

Need some help sexing two of my 12 wk old silkies. This is my first time with this breed. I hatched them in my brinsea mini advanced. I hatched 4 total and I have one definite roo (already crowing) and one definite pullet. Mystery Silkie #1: Very small comb and wattles but the streamer like...

I have a Silkie egg that pipped the wrong end of the egg! There is a very small tear in the membrane and it hasn't made much progress in the last 18 hrs. This morning I picked it up using a warm washcloth and gently flicked off a few pieces of shell that were loose. It hasn't seemed to help. I...

Help! I'm a first timer and its day 22 and I have no pips, no rocking eggs, no chirping. I'm using a Brinsea Mini Advanced and its held temp at 99.6 except for the daily cooling period. Humidity is 75% right now and I'm not sure what it was for the first 18 days. I only bought a hygrometer...

I'm using the Brinsea Mini Advanced incubator. I am on day 19. Put the eggs in lockdown last night and filled both water reservoirs. I'm using a hygrometer from a pet store and this morning it's reading 93%! I lifted the dome for a couple of minutes during the cooling cycle to release some of...

I have a 2 yo Polish hen who does this. IT IS SO LOUD and its an obnoxious squak like she's yelling. It goes on ALL DAY. I work from home sometimes and if the windows are open it really makes me insane. She survived a hawk attack last winter and she had a large in jury to her neck. I'm...

First teeny eggs from our beautiful Easter Egger Cybil. My kids were so excited!! One question... Do pullet eggs taste "eggier" than their mature size eggs? I made the kids scrambled eggs from them and my kids gobbled them up. I had one bite and they had a very strong taste to me.

Before I re-home him/her I want to make sure. I am not allowed to have a rooster in my neighborhood and really don't want my neighbors complaining. I heard someone crowing this morning and went out to check and sure enough it was Edith. She has been the most aggressive one in the group and does...

I have 2 polish pullets that refuse to go into the coop at night. They roost in the run and would stay there all night if I didn't go out and escort them to the roost inside the coop. I've been doing this for about a month now...so I feel like I have "trained" them to wait for me to put them...

Thanks everyone! She's 8 weeks old.
