This is my 3/4 Silkie 1/4 Old English Game Bantam hen that has just started laying small pearl white eggs. She has a pink comb but black skin, an extra toe and fluffly feet. She has a smaller crest than a full silkie hen. Shes about 8 months old and is the same size as her mum who is 1/2 Silkie...
Just sharing a pic of my Salmon Faverolles X Gold Laced Wyandotte hen. She's about 8 months old.
She lays quite a large typically brown shaded egg. She has a funny flighty personality like her Salmon Fav mum. Her dad was the GLW. I really like her feathering shes very fluffy and is quite a...
Thank you :) He is a really nice natured bird too. Was living with other young cockerals when I bought him. He's polite with the ladies and calls them for food bits he finds :) he's living amongst some of his chicks and bought day olds now.
We have a mix of about 13 different breeds of hen...
Hi, thanks for replying. We got him from poultry breeders. Heritage Farm in Waitakere Auckland, New Zealand.
Her show birds were giants! I can't remember seeing her GLW but I saw her SLW and the Rooster was HUGE! Like a bloody turkey.
I will definitely keep an eye on his size. He's still got a...
Hello, do I have a Cockeral here? We thought it was a girl but now I'm thinking boy. His name is Fruffy, I think he's about 16-20wks old?
Pics taken today, his comb is quite a burgundy colour. Also white type of Silkie is he? I have spotted 2 black feathers amongst the white.

Hiya,
Is my white Silkie a Roo? Pretty sure he is. He's about 3/4 months old I think. In the last few weeks hic comb has gotten quite large and are a reddish burgundy colour. One of my hens really doesn't like him but gets he on pretty well with the rest of the flock, including my main 1yr old...
Hiya. I was wondering if anyone else thought this chick could be a Hamburg cross? I wonder as it has quite large eyes. My Hamburg is silver pencilled I think. My Roo is a GLWyandotte.
As my Roo is Gold and the Hen Silver, would it be a pullet?
New to this thanks :)
Hi again, thanks for helping me with this chicken mystery. My mum has never really warmed to her and thinks its a lesbian lol. But I think she is gorgeous, especially as she looks pretty enough to be a Roo.
I have a few chooks that lay white eggs, but at the beginning we only had one light...
Hmmm, I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about lol... Still confused haha. So do you think my chick pictured above is a Faverolles x GLWyandotte? It can't be a Silkie, and Fav is the only other chook with 5 toes?
It appears more bearded than the other chicks.
I thought that was the case with the black chicks. But this chick has five toes. I only have 4 hens with 5 toes.
1 Salmon Faverolles
2 Buff Silkies
1 Black Silkie (has brown)
If not Faverolles, could the Silkies be the Mum? I thought they would...
Hi :) I just got really confused by a chicken colour calculator I played with. It said that my faverolles x my GLWyandotte would create a black based chick. I thought that these yellow ones would be white hens, but that was impossible with my hens. So I thought well maybe they're blue based as...
Yes I just have one Hamburg, we have had many days when every hen has laid an egg, which I thought included her? Especially as she/or he was one of the first 8 we got. Do Hamburgs lay white eggs, very white? And smaller sized?
I have never seen it try to mount a hen, but now that I think about...
But she lays, I've seen her nesting and she lays a smallish white egg?
I thought it looked like a rooster, but it lays, has never crowed, and doesn't fight with my GLWyandotte roo? Only displays hen behavior.
? Are you sure? Her comb is large, but she lays!
Whaaat?
