silkies

Ok. Picked up two silkies- I’m in love!! Tried to get the best pics. They are 4 months old. What do we think ?

Sorry, I'm just so excited that I had to share this somewhere. Just got 3 silkie hens today!! They're so cute!! This is actually my first time owning silkie hens. Last year almost all of my silkies turned out to be roosters and the 1 pullet ended up being killed by our dog. Sad... I'm not sure...

Hi! We make signs here at our farm and woodshop. You can find them on our etsy shop. Take a look! 🙂 Www.etsy.com/shop/willowacrewoodshop

I've currently got three almost-eight-week old Silkies living in a temporary pen inside my house, and I have two laying Silkie hens living outside in a coop. I'm thinking it's time to start moving the indoor trio outside, but have never introduced new chickens to an existing coop before - the...

Hi! I'm looking for silkie chicks! I'm located near Keene, NH. Willing to drive a reasonable distance, some parts of mass/vermont are close to me as well.

I'm sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place. Feel free to move it if it is. I have a black silkie rooster. I'm getting him 3 black hens this March. If I'm correct that should result in black chicks. Lately I've been thinking of getting him like 2 hens of another color so hatching chicks...

Howdy everyone! I'm getting ready to set my shipped Silkie eggs this coming week. I've previously used the approx 12% decrease in egg weight (per an article I found here a few years back). After brushing up on things here in preparation for this year's hatching, I've seen numbers as high as...

My two silkies are joined at the hip. The darker one grew streamers as a chick and was confident and assertive… then we put them in the coop and he did a gender bender and lost his streamers, had more of a “bowl” crest and suddenly became much more reserved… We were unconvinced about the white...

So I have 5 silkies ~2yrs old. All very sweet, and healthy. The one problem? Their TOENAILS They grow so long and so fast. I cut them today and some nails were nearly an inch long and corkscrewing in on themselves. I don't understand it. They have a covered run to scratch in, so that should...

Hi there, This week my silkies were totally fine, and now they are both dead. One dropped down out of the blue yesterday, and this morning I found the other one dead. They have been so healthy, so idk what's going on. The only thing I did differently was added a little ACV to their water and...

We have a black cockrel Paint, Partridge, Silver and black hens Can we expect to have majority black chicks? We would like to start a fun colour project. Suggestions on what colour to add?

We live in maine and have 3 almost9 week old silkie cockerels for free. They have proven over and over that they are boys and definitely are acting the part. If anyone is interested in them please send me a message. That we just got up and running, but I'm posting the pictures here too Thanks...

Hi there! I am trying to figure out "breeding pens" for my silkies. I currently have two buff roosters, a mottled roo, and what I believe is a blue rooster. I have several pullets. I will post a picture of. I am wondering from what I have how I would distribute the breeding pens and what...

I’m so confused what these are. Idk if these were “fathered” by my paint, recessive white, or splash rooster but I have these hens: Black Buff Recessive White Weird red pyle color Splash Paint

Hi guys, I have 5 x unsexed silkie chicks, that no longer require heat and ready to go to their forever home. I’m quietly positive that at least one is a rooster (grey head, white chest, we call him Ash), as he likes to jump around and play fights. The rest of the chicks are almost always...

Hi there! I have 7 6 week old silkies and I noticed this week that 3 have significant combs (like a finger print) and deep red wattles, and 4 have nothing of either. Now as my 4th chick flock, this seems clear cut that the former are boys, and the latter girls. But this seems too easy. From what...

My flock consists of a variety of different breeds. However in the past month I have lost 3 silkies with a 4th on the way. Its the same pattern of events. The bird will start to show signs of weakness and can't keep up with the rest of the flock yet tries like hell (slow movements, easily...

We have two 8 week old black silkies. We have no idea if they’re pullets, but are hoping so. Thoughts? These are two different babies even though they look the same haha
