    Need to rehome 3 very sweet 3mo roosters...

    Hi, I'm in Grantsville, Utah and I am desperately searching for anyone that will take my sweet boys free of charge. We know we can't have roosters in our city and we've only recently confirmed that all 3 of them are roosters. Our neighbors have complained to the city about their crowing and now...

    Silkie with bad sour crop

    My 1.5 y/o silkie hen has really bad sourcrop. I have her inside and the smell coming from her pen area and near her is just completely foul. Her crop is so big and squishy. She’s having diarrhea that also smells horrid. She is just sitting and not really moving. I have only water with some ACV...

    Silkie hen suddenly acting sick- help

    I’m a bit stumped on this. My hen suddenly is acting sick. I noticed on the camera she had been laying around in one spot for hours so i went out and checked on her. She did come right up to me and come out of the run for a bit. But she is puffed up, feathers drooped, lethargic, bigish squishy...

    My Silkie’s feathers are not the same!

    I have had my Silkie for a year now and when we first got her she had a head full of feathers like a pompom and she was also alot fluffier. Now one year later her head feathers won’t grow back since i cut them many many months ago and they also shrank significantly. Even her body feathers are...

    A cross between a Silky and a Polish. No gender differences

    First of all, is it common to crossbreed a Silkie and Polish?I don't think so. So, I have the chick that I’m hopping to get soon. The fact that it is silky makes it difficult to determine its gender.Those of you with experience, what do you think?

    Do your silkies roost?

    Hi all! We have our first batch of baby silkies and I’m wondering as they mature what type of coop accommodations they will need. Will they walk up a ramp and roost along with my regular flock of chickens? Do they need a separate area to make a “cuddle puddle”? Do they need nesting boxes on...

    Does Silkie behavior indicate gender? Pics included!

    Hello all! I am estimating this chick to be around 8 weeks old. It has never been gentle, from the get-go has pecked other chicks, jumped up and kicked them, bumped chests, constantly stirring up my little chick group. Do you see this behavior as rooster behavior? She behaves like a dominant...

    Sexing Silkies

    Hi all, we have one lonely silkie and I’m having a hard time sexing them. They’re about 8 weeks old now. I know the photos aren’t the best, but I’m leaning towards female. Any guesses? Thanks!

    urgent—baby chick question

    Hey everyone, We have a chick that hatched a few days early. She’s a Buff Orpington/Silkie cross. The other eggs passed candling tests, so we expect them to hatch, but in the meantime, our current early-bird is distressed. I’m going to call local farm stores to see if they have chicks in the...

    Frizzled Bantam Cochin & Silkie - Boys? What to do about littles with the rest of the hens

    First time chicken keeper here. We have 6 hens from our local farm store, 4 standard/big girls (Cochin, Faverolle, Orpington, Easter Egger) and 2 littles (Bantam Cochin who ended up being frizzled, silkie) - all 5 weeks old. I'm worried that the bantam cochin is a rooster, which could leave...

    What about the sex of Brahma and Polish?

    Sorry, this is the only photo I have. The breeder sent me a Brahma and a Polish of unknown gender. Is it difficult to tell them apart at this stage?

    Are these mixed silkie chicks? (pictures)

    Hello I bought some new chicks from someone that said these weren't mixed silkies (or the very least they don't think they are) but one of them have odd (or normal?) feathering with barbicules that make me doubt the legitimacy. I'm not complaining as I didn't get them for breeding but I wanted...

    The good ole “help me figure out what gender my silkies are” post

    I have two silkies. One black and one white. I originally swore the black was a male based off of the stance it had always had but I’m not so sure. This white one is much smaller but the hair is different. It also has a much deeper cluck lol. My poor black one has pretty bad cross beak, but has...
