A male and female. We will bathe them and then decide. Thanks for your help!

She has to take a hen and a rooster. So the buff roo and blue hen? The blue girl has very nice feathered feet and legs.

Here are my blue and white girls. White girl has watermelon stains. Lol

This is the girl we are thinking about taking to the fair. She is also a buff.

Yours are gorgeous! Had I known that hatchery chicks were not as nice as breeder chicks....oh well. Next year we will go with a breeder. Sh is also taking a female. I will post pics of them. Thanks for the response!

This is the silkie rooster my daughter is taking to the county fair. Can anyone tell me if his feathers are ok?I am trying to pick the best boy and girl.

Hi everyone! My daughter is 9 and is taking silkies to the county fair for 4h. We bought 2 each of blue, buff and white. The white one (one died) is bearded and very "showy". She would also like to take a blue one. My question is, is it ok to take two different colors? They told us we should...

Looking at all these silkies pictures has got me so excited to get ours! My daughter is in 4h and will be showing them at the fair. We ordered 2 white, 2 blue and 2 buff. I sure hope we don't end up with all Roos!

Oh my gosh! She is gorgeous! Her comb is o dark and I love her black spots. Tetra tints are such friendly chickens....we love ours!

Hi everyone! I am new to this thread. I just rescued what I was told is a silver laced wyandotte. She has the lacing on her but it is hard to really tell as she is missing a lot of feathers. Can anyone confirm that she is or is not a SLW? Her name is Lacy and she is 1 1/2 years old. I got...

I just rescued 3 chickens. One, I believe, is a buff orpington. I was told that she is 1 1/2 years. She is a pretty shy and a little skittish. Her name is Buffy.

Thank you for the information. I certainly hope I didn't make it worse! I am putting vetericyn on the foot that was swollen and also on the others feet that have the black spots but no swelling. My coop is on rocks (like driveway stones) and the chickens scratch at them and get them all over...

Reading everything about bumblefoot and how serious it is can really scare a new chicken keeper! I know that on the one chicken it helped....her foot was very swollen. On the other chicken, I should have just left it alone. I will make sure to keep them both clean. So, the scabs can just go...

How is your girl doing? Did her foot heal? This happened to me today too! One of my chickens had a big swollen toe so I looked and sure enough....bumblefoot. So I got everything I needed and I got it all cleaned out. Lots of pus and ickyness. Then I checked the rest of my girls. One had...

Yes, he was definitely a rooster! His name is ShellBOY and he is amazing! He loves to be held and now that he is separated fom the other rooster, he is crowing again! I just love this boy! :D
