I am a newbie here! Got four silkies about 4 months ago. I believe I have 3 hens and 1 roo (but obviously cant be sure, but I am 99% sure). We got 3 polish hens today. My question is, what is the best way to integrate the polish hens with the silkies and when should I do it? The chicks are...

I’ve been bouncing back and forth with this Silkie in particular trying to decide it’s gender. It is 6 months old. I’m leaning towards cockerel but not 100% sure? No crowing, no eggs (figured too young regardless). It does “call” the others over whenever I feed them though, if that matters...
Three adult silkie roosters - One gorgeous gold partridge, one black with gold leakage, one black with a little white leakage. Just tightening up my breeding program and don't need them in it. I am unsure how old they are, I bought them as adults, but I would say the oldest would be about 2...
please exscuse the mess, having 5 dogs isnt very glamorous and its cleaning day😝 id like to think that the yellows are silkies (i have 3, all look the same) i think the one with brown face/feathers is a BSL(?) but unsure of the black ones with white chests! i have two of the solid black with...
Hi there! Not super great at introductions but I'm dublinducks, and as I'm sure you can gather from that name, I love ducks! Last May we purchased six Ancona ducklings, and a few months later we rescued two special needs Pekins, Winky and Wonky (who are blind and lame, respectively). We really...
Hi all! I recently added 2 silkies to my flock and they have been wonderful. I would like to see if anyone could help me in sexing them early. I will be happy with either hens or roosters but I feel they are both hens but am new to this breed. I will post their photos and see if someone would be...

Please see the attached 2 pictures showing my LITTLE Silkie chick, which I've named "Tiny." She (I know I haven't a clue if it's a boy or girl, but since I take "her" out and love on her every day, I've decided that it's a she, just because she's so darn adorable!
In the first picture, you see...
If I’m looking to add a blue rooster to my silkie breeding flock (I’m new to this) and I have black, and splash hens how do I ensure I get a blue rooster and not something split to lavender (or is that okay)
I want to end up with blue, black and splash chicks. And ideally would find some blue...
I’m pretty frustrated and going back and forth on what to do with them. I purchased these chicks locally just for fun to add to my existing large flocks including layers, and several breeding projects I’m working on. The chicks have been isolated 100% in a metal brooder in my basement since...
I have been learning about silkie standards for the past year. I will judge all birds myself based on what I've learned about silkie show standards. I'm still fairly new to this, so just keep in mind that I'm not a professional. Contest ends in a week on the 24th. There won't be any prizes this...
I got my first silkies today and am absolutely in love! I have two black and one that’s a silver-grey color. I was told that one of the black silkies might turn out to be a showgirl-she has a name neck. I’m pretty sure I’ll be naming her Dahlia. I’m wanting some suggestions for my silvery...
