greatly depends.
I have 5 silkies atm who I handraised from day-olds. None of them are cuddly. But I had a silkie hen in 2021 who was the sweetest girl. And all my friends' silkies are so friendly. I think silkies are usually very docile, calm, and loving. Little bantam breeds like d'uccles are...
So my five little silkie girls have started squatting as of a week or two. I was quite suprised, as they are only 5 1/2 months or so. I can't be sure of who pooped the beautiful nugget, but i know it was one of them. Lulu (my duccle) lays rounder, creamier eggs.
Although it wasn't completely...
It's BEAUTIFUL. I was surprised to find a new eggy in our nests today. No clue which out of my five silkie girlies laid it. (I saw little fleur investigating the boxes tho)
They are only 22 weeks ๐ฎ which is not unheard of, but very young for a silkie. They've all been squatting for a couple...
can anyone explain some basic colour genetics in silkies? i understand blue/black/splash. but buff, white, partridge, paint etc are harder to find info on!
ps: i literally have the cutest silkies in existence, prove me wrong, I DARE YOU
look. at. that. beard.
simply IN LOVE with these boys...
I'm sitting with my fav little pullet right now ๐ฅฐ
I feel so blessed to have found bearded silkies. They are extremely rare in victoria.
She had wry neck a few weeks ago (pixie did too when she was very sick)
She is recovering so well but it's been lots of work.
