Hey Guys, I have got this 5 mo silkie cock from a local breeder. It seems like silver partridge but I am not sure. The seller isnt also sure as he bought a multi-silkie lot from someone else. Can u guys confirm abt his color genetics if possible. Pics r attached, thanks.

She has died, she died this last week. I showed her to few of my friends and they thought it was Mareks. Others were on antibiotics and are all healthy and I hope they didn't caught it.

I havent seen her preening or scratching her feathers. I didnt see any lice or mites in her feather. Also i havent changed their pen, neither did I introduce any new birds in the flock. And they get plenty of sunshine during the day. U know the Vet said exactly the same thing, she being allergic...

Guys it s been more than a week but her condition hasn't improved. I took her to the Vet the other day & he suspects it is some kinda scabies, although I disagree and i think she has contracted mareks. She has this small bubbles almost all over her body and vent and has scaly feet. Vet has...

Guys thanks for help. Honestly I am a bit scared now. I have a small Brahma flock and i hope this thing isn't contagious. @Wyorp Rock I haven't noticed any sneezing or coughing. @azygous I have contacted nearest vet, they say that Tylan isn't available, needs shipment and could take upto 2...

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good. Guys I have noticed this kinda partial swelling on the face of my 4 mo Gold Prtridge Brahma pullet, her earlobe, part of eyelid and under chin are swollen. She is eating and drinking well but has been bit lazy since yesterday. Also I haven't seen her either...

Thanks @OneLostHen for your suggestion. I have got a hen who is bigger in size, would mate him with her to get better sized males.

Anyone else who would like to comment?

Thanks @QueenMisha for your kind suggestion.

Hey everyone! Hope all of you are doing fine. I wanted to ask for some suggestions about choosing the Silkie Cockerel for my breeding pen, So the thing is that I have got two Silkie males, Male-A 8 months old and Male-B who is 6 months old. Their photos are attached below along with brief...

Hey Everyone, I am new to this forum as well as Silkie breeding. Somehow I have managed to get a few pet quality birds and trying to improve them in light of all the info available on this forum. I have many questions to ask but for now I want to ask about the issue with the wing feathers of...

Thanks @nchls school, maybe I should wait. Many people have told me that silkies usually don't lay before 8-9 month old. Hens started laying too early, maybe that is why eggs weren't fertile...

Hey everyone, hope everybody is fine out there. Guys! I am facing some problem while trying to breed my silkies. So the thing is that I got 4 beautiful 5 weeks old silkie chicks at the end of January this year. My nephew named them according to his favourite disney characters; Simba (M), Nala...

Yes @wlantry . Indeed it is near the foot of Margalla Mountain Range. Surely summer is very hot but still almost all types of poultry survives the heat. But for the past few years, Winter has become a bit extreme. Mortality rate of some specific not-so-winter-hardy breeds like Polish, Fayoumi...

Thanks @drumstick diva for the welcome. I always had poultry. I started with Fayoumi Chickens few years back. Then I had mix flock of Red Sex-Links and Leghorns. Then I switched to Aseels. My new found love are SILKIES. Will post their photos soon..
