    Questions about incubating eggs

    Hello everyone! :) My Silkie rooster is 6 months old and seems to be ahead of the curve in terms of physical maturity (he started crowing at 6 weeks and started trying to mount the hens pretty early, too). His sister started laying eggs, so I assume he’s also reached sexual maturity. We were...

    6-7 week old silkies possible cockerels?

    These silkies are all around 6 or 7 weeks and a few of them are giving cockerel vibes and not just because of some of the combs, can anyone confirm my suspicions?

    What's wrong with my silkie

    My silkie hen has this weird stuff on her head and face. It seems to come off a little when I wipe it with a damp cloth, but it's almost like something got stuck on her head and dried there. I have absolutely no idea what it is, or how it got there. It doesn't seem to be causing her any pain...

    Anyone an expert silkie sexer and want to take a guess on these 8?

    They’re all around 8-10 weeks. I got them from a local feed store and they looked to be about a week or 2. I’ve had them a little under 8 weeks. I know silkies are hard to sex.

    I just noticed one of my chicks has an extra toe, the lady I got hatching eggs from said there is some silkie crossed hens in her flock. All the eggs I got were unknown barnyardmixes and this chick can out of a bluer egg. Can I assume this chick came from one of the silkie cross hens or is this...

    6w old silkie gender based off comb method?

    This baby very much gives off roo vibes just based off of the insane straight stand up posture they always seem to have. I have another silkie who’s much smaller, but from the same hatch. She doesn’t stand up near as straight as this guy. What are we thinking based off of the comb?
