    Possible Mareks?!??

    So great to know! I’m so stumped why all would be green. Thanks for tagging. I’m kind of freaking out…

    Possible Mareks?!??

    Brighter poo. The only bright one I’ve seen. None have been runny. Flock is a mix of 10 month olds-3 year olds @aart any insight?

    Possible Mareks?!??

    Does Mareks start out light green poo? This is the only symptom. I found a bit brighter stool today I need to grab pic. This one is frozen. Flock hasn’t had greens lately

    ATTN: Silkie Gurus! Help me sex these 4 please

    More silkies is always the answer! 🤣 Does this pullet look “blue” to you? Or is she a different color? I believe the roo I thought was “gray” is actually “blue” and they look nothing alike

    ATTN: Silkie Gurus! Help me sex these 4 please

    Ha! True. the white and gray are hatch mates and get along great for the most part currently. Any idea if that will change once introduced to the ladies? I’m assuming I’d have to worry about over breeding if I have a 2 to 4 ratio?

    ATTN: Silkie Gurus! Help me sex these 4 please

    Well @LadiesAndJane was correct! I have four ladies and four roosters. Question for those who understand genetics: Which of my roosters should I keep to have the most color variations of chicks? Pullets: Splash Gray (?) Partridge Blue Roos: White Gray Black (2)

    Here they are! I had to show you the white roos chest. I’ve never seen one so big. He reminds me of a buff cartoon hero 🤣 Him and the gray are hatch mates. The blacks are the same age as the other 4 hens (hopefully) I posted up above.

    Any guesses on these 4?! 🥰 All are 17 weeks old. All different colors. Splash. Gray. Partridge & Blue ** These pics display only the 4 silkies in question. The other two of the bunch are 100% roos & have shown it for weeks now.

    What kind of coop for silkies

    I’m in the same situation. I’ll be building something like this but at a smaller scale outside my coop - within the run. I won’t be including stairs, I was thinking a wide ramp instead. Ideally I’d like coop to be 1-1.5 ft off ground so I don’t lose run space but I may have to lower it due to...

    Sick flock! Please help

    Thanks for the suggestion! It’s worth a try. I’ve been experiencing so many things within this coop I’m unsure if they’re linked together or not. Random shell less eggs, really rough egg deposits at times, diarrhea - the Poopy butt and latharic towards the end. No change in food besides more...

    Sick flock! Please help

    Thank you so much for caring. This site has definitely lost its ‘helpfulness’. Perhaps the knowledge left? It’s sad. I lost another lady today. I’m unsure of what to do. Again, thank you for giving a damn. I appreciate you!

    Sick flock! Please help

    ...red. I thought it was vent gleet. I bathed her yesterday, isolated her and she passed last night. Now I’m noticing another is doing the same. She just pooped what looks like egg white?! Slight poopy butt. Any insight?! EDIT** she just passed a soft egg. Still lethargic but eating and drinking

    Camper or Shed for our next coop?

    Thanks for your help! We chose CornishX this year because of a time constraint. I hope you don’t mind, I’m gong to message you with a few questions so I’m not totally hijacking this thread!
