    Silkies :)

    This is mostly just for fun. 😉 They are only 5 1/2 weeks and 3 1/2 weeks The first two pics are of the 5 week olds. One is a crossbeak and is probly why she is smaller. The 3rd pic is the 3 week old which I'm sure will be super hard to guess what it will be. I'm gonna be doing gender testing so...

    Silly Silkies - My Babes

    It hasn't been very long with these silly babies, but I have had so much fun with them! I had to give away a white roo because he was attacking our other one, and I lost a black showgirl to a raccoon. The losses were really hard and I miss them so much, but the babes I have now are beautiful and...

    My little chicken coop friends :)

    My silkie chicks are growing up so fast! The rooster (The gray one) is crowing like crazy just because it's fun, and my hen is very active. Cookie is the gray showgirl silkie, and Peanut is the buff bearded silkie. I love them!

    4 week old silkie sexes

    Hey there I realise the general consensus is that silkies are notoriously hard to sex, however, we have a clutch of 5 chicks that are now 4 weeks old. Two of the chicks have been consistently chest bumping and easing their wings at each other since week 2. The rest of the flock have small...

    Silkie chicks about 10 weeks old

    Hello, I have had chickens in the past but I’ve never been good at sexing them, I have wanted silkies forever and I decided to get some. I realized afterwards that they weren’t pullets, the issues is that my town doesn’t allow more than a single rooster. And I’m afraid I’ll have to get rid of...

    Sexing silkies

    I have a beautiful bearded Silkie who I'm guessing is around 4 months old. I haven't seen any major rooster like behaviour and no crowing. However while drying in front of the fire today I noticed they are developing a rather upright stance and straighter tail. They are also bigger than the...
