    Hi all! I have this beautiful what I believe is dun chocolate frizzle satin girl and not sure which boy to put her with. I have MANY colors of boys, but not dun. The showgirl with her is a mauve cockerel, but my memory is sucktastic and I can't remember what would happen if I bred mauve with...

    Introducing new pullets conundrum

    Hello! So I have an interesting self-brought-on chicken dilemma and could use some opinions on! The backstory: I purchased 5 chicks (notably 2 of those being silkies) all with a female guarantee, but of course 2 ended up being Roos that unfortunately I had to re-home. That leaves my current...

    Dead egg on hatch day?

    I have an egg from a batch of 6 that hasn’t hatched yet. All the other eggs finished yesterday and I’m just wondering if this one isn’t alive anymore. I finally decided to candle it this morning to check for movement and didn’t see anything. Any thoughts on if I should just call it quits or give...

    Genetics, This Is A Project. What Color Rooster Should I Pair This Hen With?

    So this is a project that I’m working on. I’ve got this beautiful Pencil Laced Satin hen and I’m trying to decide which color rooster would best compliment her color? I would like to produce more of her color pattern. I had one person tell me to pair her with a gray rooster. Thoughts?

    Pullet acting strangely

    Hello! I brought home a frizzle satin a few weeks ago. The rancher was unsure of her exact age, but suspected her to be about 5 months old- I think she may be younger based off her feathering. On Friday I noticed she started walking oddly. She always races around the coop and is hard to...

    Satin Frizzle Hen or Roo?

    Good Morning All! I got a group of satin/silkie chicks about 5 months ago. Of the 5, two are for sure roosters. They look like roosters, and they started fighting. However, I have a satin frizzle which I find very hard to sex. It’s not acting like a rooster, but that doesn’t really mean anything...

    5 months old, frizzled satin silkie -- what gender?

    Cutie is my daughter's chicken. I say Cutie is a boy. She said I needed to post on here to see if anyone thinks Cutie actually is a girl before Cutie goes elsewhere. Thoughts? Cutie will be 6 months old next week. The attached photos are from a week or so ago. No crowing. No laying. No dancing...

    Added 5 more babies (silkie/satin) to the flock!

    Added 5 more babies to the flock over the weekend! They integrated pretty quickly with my 5 hens (6 months old). They were raised in the coop and free ranging so they took to my coop/yard pretty quick. According to the person I got them from, they’re about 7 weeks old 😁 Anxious to see how many...

    Hen or Roo Satin Silkie

    Hello! I bought bird as a pullet - I didn’t get to pick out which one as the seller had these two already set aside. Once I got home I started wondering if this was actually a rooster? Thoughts? Hatched in March! Trying to decide if I send off for DNA testing since i can’t have roosters at my...

    Anyone want to guess my satin/silkie gender? 7 weeks

    Anyone up for a little gender guessing? I've got 2 satins and 2 silkies. All about 7 weeks old except the mauve silkie is about a week older. I am so very fortunate to know for certain the gender of THREE of these cuties! I have a guess on the fourth but it is not confirmed. I'm excited to...

    Hello 😊

    Newbie to BYC 😊 Here's a little bit about myself. (1) I've been raising chickens most of my life, so over 20 years. Not really sure when I officially started raising my own but I do know it was my mother's fault 😂 (2) Does it make sense that I don't currently know how many I have? 😅. I count...

    Sexing 3-4 week old Satin chicks

    I'm not sure when exactly Satins can be sexed. It's kinda hard to see though the wire, I apologize for that. If I need to take better pictures, let me know. Thanks in advance!
