I think it's a cockerel but I still am hoping it may be a hen and I can keep her. Can you help? Thank you!

My little frizzle Silkie rooster had all but one of his tail feather torn out by the bigger Silkie rooster... Some of the others are missing, some seem broken off at the stem. Will Frizzle grow them back? How soon? I'm rehoming the other rooster, so the abuse will stop soon. Attaching a pic...

Hello, I have two uber cute 5-6 weeks old chicks: a frizzle Silkie and a Mille Fleur d'Uccle. Silkie roosters and hens are apparently hard to distinguish, but this guy looks, well, like a guy. Please, tell me I'm wrong! :( Adding the Mille pics as well, in case I'm calling her 'she' incorrectly :)

Hello Friendly Community, I have an issue with another one of my chicks. First time owner, 6 Silkies, 4 weeks old, in a cardboard brooder at home. He is my favorite, and I noticed 2 sneezes yesterday. Today morning, he sneezes every few minutes. He eats, scratches, maybe is a little bit active...

Hello, I have a Silkie, 2.5 week old, mail order, that has me a little worried: -he eats less than the other chicks - spends time sleeping away from other chicks, when others are scratching or eating -he is breathing faster than normal, compared to other chicks in the flock (all same age) -he is...

:) Hello, Everyone! I'm Marta, and I got my first few chickens a week ago, after learning that I will be working remotely for another few months. Silver linings! They are baby Silkies, in a range of colors. It is the first time for me, and I have a lot to do, and to learn. I have a yard that I...
