I had a silkie chick who was mainly gray and then feathered in white. This leads me to think she was recessive white. Here's a pic of what she looked like as a chick and as an adult.

I think I have your hens sister

So do they get attacked during the day or shortly before dark?

Do you close them up at night in a coop?

That's such a cute run! 🥰

3 months

What do ya'll think this little one is? Pullet or Cockerel?

I have a question; so in my recent silkie hatches I've been able to mark the eggs I put in the incubator by which hen laid them. My problem I'm noticing is that one of my blue silkies, Jewel, is not having any fertilized eggs. I don't think there's too much fluff back there because even when she...

I have a semi-emergency question, I went out to check my broody's eggs and I found one partially cracked. It is due to hatch Tuesday so it doesn't have that many days left. I don't even know how it got cracked unless it hit something hard in the coop. Is there anything I can do or just hope for...

I'm not so sure on this one 😂

I'd say the first two are males, the one in the last picture is harder to tell but having more pics of that one's comb may help 😊

So pretty!😍

Oh no! Definitely don't give up, you've worked too hard and you have such wonderful silkies. Hopefully you can find what's causing trouble so no more chickens are lost. :hugs

I now have a breeding color question...so I'm hoping to get some mottled chicks soon but I was curious what would I get if the hens are mottled and the roosters either partridge or buff.🤔

One of the roosters appears to be paint the other one I'm not sure off the top of my head. To get paint you will need a dominant white silkie crossed with a solid black silkie. Knowing if you have a dominant or recessive white silkie can be hard just by looking at them but getting a better idea...

I had always thought of naming one of my Silkies Dutchess

They might still lay but not as much as you probably want for breeding. I would wait for some younger ones to become available. 😊

My guess is male

Awww! So cute! 🥰

Such cuties! 🥰
