It's a silkie and I know they are almost impossible to tell until they crow or lay an egg, but this one that I kept seems to be growing pretty fast, and is flying and jumping around his or her temp cage quite a bit. Maybe you know or can take a good guess to what gender?

I hatched three eggs that hatched early this morning ( paint silkies) and one actually hatched black with white streaks through his or her feathers. He or she has a white chin so I was wondering if that could have any bareing on it's gender? So far it seems to be the calmest chick out of all of...

I have three turkens that hatched, and I believe one is a female but I'm not sure about the others. Is there a way to know with this specific breed? They hatched this morning. Also, they hatched on the 19th day , with the 20th day being at 5 o'clock today. Should I have seen pips from the other...

How big are turken (naked neck) eggs? i heard they are big, but how big would you say? such as the width and height? i cant seem to find this info anywhere!! Also, How big are they when they hatch usually? again, cant find this info anywhere. Other than those two questions, do you have any...

For almost 2 years now, all ive been wanting is a pet chicken, not just any chicken, but a Silkie chicken in which i would keep indoors with a diaper. Theres only one problem though--My mother has no clue! Im not out of high school yet, but will in a year. Thats not the half of it, because im...

I was trying to come up with some ideas, because i have a month old chick now and im deciding on what sort of things are a good daily treat. I know there is a certain amount or certain food groups that should be included. So here is my post to ask all of you what (and how much of it) daily...

Hey everyone! i recently purchased a Silkie chicken from a local farmer, however it was straight run, so im no sure whether its a hen or rooster. I do live in a neighborhood where i cannot own a rooster, so im hoping its a hen! Im keeping her as a pet, and so far within the 2 weeks of owning...
