Hi! I’m curious how hatching went? Any issues? I’m in the same boat as you right now.

I have a black silkie who went broody weeks ago. I gave her some eggs about 9 days ago. Her sister, the frizzle, decided she is broody too, but I kept kicking her out of her nest, and she was less consistent. Fast forward to yesterday, I came home from work and found my black silkie with the...

I have a blue splash frizzled silkie rooster and a frizzled silkie hen (not sure what her color would be?) they are in a pin together and I’m curious about hatching chicks from them? I know you can’t breed two frizzles? But I’m having a hard time finding info on the ‘sizzles’ breeding. I’m...

Thank you so much for this info! What do yours look like! I’m very interested, and pet quality should be fine. I’m not breeding them, they are just pets for me and my daughters :)

Has anyone had a positive experience buying silkie hatching eggs? I am in Oregon, but I haven’t been able to find any local. I checked eBay but some of them seemed a bit sketchy. I’d love a recommendation for a reputable breeder. I’m only looking for 6 eggs right now.

I came home to find my roosters got in a fight. One has a torn waddle with a small chunk that’s hanging, but not a clean tear. I can’t get a picture yet. It’s dark now and I’ve separated them. He’s in his own coop with food and water, his face is pretty beat up but looks like it will heal. I’m...

Oh thank you! Do you think I should treat the whole flock? Or separate her while I treat?

No, not any of them! And she doesn’t show any other symptoms

Yes I’ll order it! Do you think it’s a respiratory infection?

It looks like it requires a vet prescription in all 50 states now.

I’m not sure, I can check with them. If not can order it? That’s an antibiotic right? Should I separate her and only give her the antibiotic?

My 5/6 month old silkie has been struggling with this goopy eye since I brought her home. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve done terramycin several times, I tried Neosporin (non medicated) all my birds went through a preventative round of corid. I clean her up all the time and I don’t know...

If she doesn’t have it and I treat her will the corid hurt her?

Thank you for this information! It is very helpful. Not all my chickens are silkies but I do have a handful of them and they are all fine! She’s the only one acting like this. Is corid for worms? I’ve been monitoring her poop for 3 days now and haven’t noticed any.

I posted the other day about my 4 month old silkie.. “My 4 month old silkie hen is puffed up, sitting in one spot for two days now, not eating or drinking and has watery poop. She hasn’t started laying yet, and when I put water up to her beak she’ll take drinks. Her balance seems okay but I...

Thanks so much! This is encouraging! I’ve been so worried.

About an hour ago it felt empty. But I just came down to check on her and she ate all her pellets and some cottage cheese. I’m waiting to see if I can see her drink, but she did take a solid completely normal poop. I’ll monitor her at least until tomorrow before I take her back to the flock.

She’s pretty low in the pecking order, they were combined with my older girls about a month ago, but she is my young Roos favorite so she doesn’t really get picked on. This is day two. However I just came down to check on her and she took a completely normal solid poop in her crate, she had...

My 4 month old silkie hen is puffed up, sitting in one spot for two days now, not eating or drinking and has watery poop. She hasn’t started laying yet, and when I put water up to her beak she’ll take drinks. Her balance seems okay but I haven’t seen her walk. She just stands, and will still...
