    Pullet or cockerel

    Will be 12 weeks on 9/22 (estimated) We purchased 4. 2 are pullets. One is a very obvious Roo. This one though…definitely resembles the pullets more, but the Roo is relentlessly mean to this one.

    Silkie Colors

    I just hatched 7 Silkie chicks that were listed as assorted colors. All of them are black or white except two. One is either a splash or a paint (not sure how to tell) and the other I have no idea. Does anyone know what color they'll be I'm? I'm pretty new to silkies so any additional...

    Adding Naked Neck (Turkens) into Breeding Program

    Has anyone tried (or thought about) adding some Turkeys/Naked Neck gene into their sustainable meat program? From what I’ve read, the NN gene carries so many benefits - easier plucking, more meat production (especially in the breast), more resistant to diseases, great mothers, good taste...

    How to find specific breed Breeders?

    As I’ve been researching which DP to get for meat birds, I keep coming across people saying to make sure to buy from a breeder. It sounds like some hatcheries are good, but breeders (breeding for meat quality) should be better. I’ve searched on other websites and here on BYC, on Facebook and...

    Showgirl Silkie chick (3 weeks) bumps on skin

    Can anyone tell me what these are? I have been worried its lymphoid leukosis but I’m not sure it would present this early. I’m new to showgirls but everything I’ve read said they are fairly hardy birds, some sites even say disease resistant (but being a microbiologist not sure I buy into that)...

    Hi from North Carolina!

    Hi y'all! The name is Katie. I have been raising chickens for two years now and have loved EVERY second of it. What started as an original flock of 5 laying hens I found on Craigslist turned to a flock of 17 in less than my first week. :D It's safe to say I fell in love with them. My husband and...

    Is this a Silkie egg?

    Is the egg that the red arrow is pointing to, a Silkie egg? It’s rather small, compared to the others. It would have come from one of these two chickens. I don’t know the sex of either one. I’m pretty sure naked neck is a roo because I’ve seen him crow. But then again, I’ve read on here that...

    Baby Turken with injured eye!? Please help...

    I’ve got a turken that’s almost 4 weeks old, I’m not sure if its a boy or a girl, but 4-5 days ago she started displaying issues with depth perception and was sleeping a little more. I made notice that she was babying the eye when I examined all the chicks, but I didn’t think much of it except...

    Female or male

    Hello! How hard is it to tell female vs male in a silkie? I have two silkies, they hatched may 11. I am just wondering if they should be laying by now or not if they are female. I’ve included a picture of my Naked neck, Ms. Frizzle😍

    Silkie chick genders

    I know that silkie chicks are more difficult to figure out the gender, but about how long do I have to wait until I will be able to tell? Picture of one of my newest flock members, A naked neck partridge silky named noodle.

    Anyone want an amazing Naked Neck rooster?

    Hi there! I just bought a gorgeous Chocolate Orpington rooster, and my current roo, a black and white Naked Neck, is not too thrilled. His name is Caelo (Latin for sky/heaven), pronounced Kai-low. He is the best rooster I have ever had. Mellow, good protector, amazing fertility (I have 20+ of...
