bantam silkie

My silkie hen just decided she wanted to brood some eggs. My question is, will it be too cold once they hatch? Is it too cold for her to even successfully incubate? It’s and 35 degrees Fahrenheit here at night and 50 during the day. On another note I’m not even sure she can brood in the coop...

This bantam Silkie behaviorally I think is a hen. They are the lowest in the pecking order of a four chicken mixed flock (two Easter eggers, two Silkies) they are skittish, and don’t try to get to higher places like the other Silkie. Usually they walk more squat than the other Silkie (like...

I have THREE 4.5 week old bantam silkies. I’ll know eventually, but I was wondering if anyone would take a crack at it 😏 Bumble is obviously the white one. Rudolph theme continues with the black one named Yukon, or yuki as I say lol Then there’s my sweet Hermey, the only one that somewhat likes...

I have 4 adorable silkie babes and was wondering what colors they are and also (if it isn’t too early) their sex. #1 Garbanzo. I’m pretty sure he’s a boy but also 🤷‍♀️ #2 Waffle. Who is probably also a boy because he’s the sweetest and most curious. #3 Maple. ( #4 Fern Maple (L)...

I have a chick that is a cross between a black bantam silkie (hen) and a white JG (Roo) I know crazy right. She got out and I couldn't catch her for 3 days so she was with the big chickens. I collected her eggs from the yard and thought I'd try to hatch them. And sure enough she had been bred...

Hey! My name is Breanna, I'm 27 years old. I grew up and still live in a small country town in Northwest Georgia. Between four kids and school, I decided that I also needed a hobby. This hobby just so happened to involve my husband dumping his time and money into building a brooder for a small...

I'm looking for some Bantam eggs. Of blue,red and paint to start up my desired flock. I thought I would ask here since I've had not a lot of luck.

This little one is about 4 months old. Not crowing. Pretty round crest. Narrow comb, but fairly large waddles. Also, is it normal for Silkie wing feathers to be picked and ragged like this? We have 2 silkies. Both around the same age. Both have ragged wing feathers.

I was told by the breeder that I got these two silkies from that they were both blue silkies. One is 5 months old (first three photos) & one is 6 weeks old (last two photos). I am very new to owning chickens and really don't know much about silkie coloring. But...aren't these white and not blue...
