I have three chicks, just about 2 months 2 look like males, 1 definitely looks like a pullet., but I'm not sure. Come from a sq paint silkie mother...thank you!!
Only one egg is fertile and growing in my incubator, I'm thinking to put the egg under a broody, there are two reasons I'm hesitant, one is that she is very mean to the other hens and I don't know if she will be a good mother. She screams and does not make normal hen noises, even when she is not...
This is what they were all like..
There is a bulls eye.. I have no idea what I did wrong.. I use a brinsea mini eco ( forced air).. Mh temp is 99.5-100.2 .. I would atleast think they would form.. My neighbor got results just fine from her broody.. I have 2 thermometers ... My humidity is...

I bought an expensive pullet and she is so darn cute. She is a paint silkie and she has a black comb, five toes etc. She has grey earlobes with blue specs, They are not fully turquoise . I was wondering If She is show quality. Thank you so much!!

A silkie that I bought this week ate a egg. :he. She was very expensive and she is the cutest little thing. Giving her away and culling her is obviously not an option. I put white goofballs in here cage and she thinks they are eggs. She won't stop pecking the goofballs. Do you think she will...

I just bought a beautiful paint silkie, but just realized her earlobes are black. Is this normal, are they supposed to be turquoise? Is she still show Quailty? Thank you!
My chicken became mean... Idk why.. There was a hawk attack, but she was okay after that ... Is she broody?She screams at anything that comes near her, when she is on the nesting box. And even when she isn't on the nesting box... She is a buff Orpington .
I want 2 silkie hens (4 weeks or older) to add to my small flock. I was wondering if their are any breeders in Massachusetts. Preferably show quality. Thank you.
Well I made an incubator today for fun.... When I tested it out the eggs had water droplets on them from the humidity and the temperature was above 105... I have a 40 watt bulb in a styrofoam cooler...how can I fix these problems? Thank you!!
So Annabelle has been squatting for 2 1/2 weeks! My youngest pullet ( a brahma) beat her in the first egg race. What the heck!!!?!?! Is this normal? What can I do... All of my pullets are laying, but her.
