    Is this a lavender silkie?

    Hello! Can anyone share their thoughts on this little silkie chick? Do you think it will be lavender or too early to tell? I don’t know what either parent looked like unfortunately. It really doesn’t matter, it will be loved either way! Just curious :) Thank you!

    Boys or girls?

    There are six chicks altogether . 4 are polish, one is a cuckoo and one (I'm pretty sure this ones a rooster) is a lavender. They are now 4 weeks old. I'm convinced 2 are roosters but unsure with the rest. Don't have much experience with this. I do know it's still difficult to tell but if anyone...

They gave us this chick, and he/she has been developing much slower than the other girls, feather development is not as quick. Just this week the chick got feathers around her neck which has made her...

    Lavender Orpington chick color question...

    Hi all! Just curious if anyone who has LO's can help me. We've bread from our Lav roo and two Lav hens a few times, but this is a first for us. Is it normal for some of the chicks to be black?? It's a lavxlav so it should breed true, right?? Am I missing something? Or will they lighten up over time?

    Why is my hen not laying?

    Hi there, back in April I had found a breeder that bred lavender Ameraucanas and purchased one that was a week old, she is now 39 weeks old but I have yet to see a blue egg, I am starting to get a bit concerned that there could be some sort of underlying health issue. Could she be egg bound? Or...

    Spiky Mikey The Silkie

    Our Lavender Silkie named Spiky Mikey :love Even though he doesn't like to be picked up, he sure does love to follow me around the yard. Unfortunately the older chicks don't like him so he can't really bond with them and we can't put him in with the older flock as they will kill him. I bought...
