    6w old silkie gender based off comb method?

    This baby very much gives off roo vibes just based off of the insane straight stand up posture they always seem to have. I have another silkie who’s much smaller, but from the same hatch. She doesn’t stand up near as straight as this guy. What are we thinking based off of the comb?

    Silkie color breeding

    So I have a black silkie rooster, a white silkie hen, and a buff silkie hen. I know that when breeding my black rooster with my white hen, the chicks will all come out black because the black is dominant and the white is recessive. But, when breeding my black rooster with my buff hen, what color...

    Adult silkie with splay leg

    My little black silkie hen has splay leg. IDK how she got it, since I got her as an adult, but she seems to have trouble walking. Can splay leg be treated when they're adults? Would binding the legs together help? She can walk on her own, but she seems to have a lot of trouble. For the most...

    3 silkies, hen or roo

    Hello all, I ordered a batch of chicks back at the end of September last year. In that batch I ordered 3 cuckoo silkie hens that were gauranteed hens, or I'd get a refund. One of the chicks ended up being the wrong color and I was given a refund for it already. Since they're about the age...

    Curious what a pilkie x pekin bantam looks like

    Hello, I have a hen who is a silkie x pekin and a rooster who is a pure pekin. My hen, daphne, looks like a pekin but with a silkie bowl-cut hairdo. I was curious if anyone has had this combo before and how the chicks ended up looking? I feel like they would look just like a pekin. 🐣 Thanks!
