    10 week old silkie bantam- hen or rooster?

    I have a silkie bantam that is about 10 weeks old. I'm pretty sure it's not a rooster but I just wanted to make sure! I low-key kind of want a rooster lol but my husband would be relieved if it wasn't.

    Broody hen, temp too cold?

    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...

    Sexing a 3.5 month Bantam Silkie, Pullet or Roo?

    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...

    Anyone want to take a guess on my silkies?!

    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...

    Silkie guessing game!

    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)...

    Bantam silky Jersey Giant cross

    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...

    Black bantam Silkie. Hen or Roo?

    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.

    What Color Are These Silkies??

    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...
