I am far from being an expert on silkies. We have a silkie that was sold to us as a black..but ended up having some partridge in it. He is solid black, but gold necked. Since it came home with a group of young large fowl birds, it has always blended well. It has taken over the role of...

Okay, guys...I am SUFFERING! My main flock is kept in one large run with an enclosed coop--these are MY egg birds. I had not had one problem out of their health. I had added some newbies back in October. No problems. Then just over two weeks ago, two of the newer little guys died. I...
