Updated photo of the roo. He does look like he has some partridge coloring in his feathers

Update. Four total have hatched and were found several feet away from her nest. I’ve had the roo with her and I believe he is the one kicking them out. I’m separating the roo today and will attempt to place the babies back under mom while she is sleeping tonight. Any other ideas?

I got him from my cousin, so you could be right about the purebred part. All of my hens I got from a breeder

Hello! I was not aware that black and gray silkies could produce a partridge silkie? I adopted my roo at two days old so I was unaware that it was a boy. I’ve only had silkie hens. He got to work quickly spreading his seeds in the flock lol

Thank you everyone. She had several eggs still under her, but none have hatched. I have three other broody hens. Maybe sneaking under one of them or wait on the other chicks to hatch and try again

Hey yall. I found one baby silkie chick away from the nest. I tried to put her back with mom, but she wanted nothing to do with it. She is still laying on several other eggs that haven’t hatched. Any ideas or advice please?

Thank you!

Hello chicken fam! I know that silkies are hard to sex, but hoping that y’all can help me with our baby that we adopted at 1 day old. He/she will be a part of our family no matter the sex ❤️

Thank you for this useful info!

Hello everyone! I’m looking for the best ingredients to add in my dust bath for my two girls. I’ve read several different options, but looking for the safest and healthiest things to add. Any advice would be a great help! Thanks in advance :)

Good evening chicken parents! I live in N. FL, and will be picking up two beautiful 4 month old silkie chickens on Thursday. I look forward to meeting many of you and learning lots of useful and great advice.
