I am needing quality black and paint silkie eggs or chicks or adults I live in southeast Texas not far from the Louisiana border. Anyone?????

This is so true!!! I let my flock of silkies out of their covered pens to eat grass and scratch in our pasture. I sit with them because of the hawks we have in our area. When I want them to go back into their pens, I keep repeating "Time to go up!" and clap my hands and they all run back...

Sorry, I do not have anymore left. I have not been on my computer in about a week so did not see your message. When I have some more babies I will submit another post. Have a good day. Leslie Martin

It is so hot now. We are having 99-105 degree temps here in Texas. I would really rather not take the chance of the babies dying. :) Sorry Leslie Martin

Have to make room for new babies coming! Have lavender cuckoo, blue cuckoo, black & white silkie chicks. About 2 months old. Located about 20 minutes from Beaumont, Texas .

First, build a snake proof cage a hen can safely raise her babies. Have lost many babies to stinking snakes. Use the small size hardware cloth. A medium or large animal carrier also is good. Tractor supply has some that are a little less expensive. If u leave her another 3 weeks on eggs make...

I just hatched 12 silkies today and the last 2 have problems. One chick just sits back on its butt with its legs out front and wobbles from side to side and cheeps almost constantly. I have tried standing it up correctly, but it just sits back down again. It's legs are not splayed. Can this...

Thanks to all that replied for a paint silkie roo. I found one in Louisiana which is about 40 minutes away from me so I did not have to drive very far. Now I have to get him a few more black silkie hens. My lone black hen will probably run away if I don't!

Same as Bethbug but I'm in Texas. Does anyone in or near Texas have a paint roo they would like to rehome?? Less shipping stress for the bird. I have tried shipped paint eggs, twice, and only got 1 baby---a little white roo with a yellow beak! LOL Thanks

Thanks for the information--will do that. I am trying to get my paint project started, but not having much luck so far. After only 1 egg hatched from the ones I bought, I prepaid for 6 paint chicks from the same breeder. But have not gotten them yet. Waiting... Luv your paint babies...

This was a breeder's auction. I checked out their website before bidding. Will this chick carry a paint gene? If so I could put it in with other paints couldn't I. The chick has blue skin, 5 toes, and silkie feathering--just a yellow beak.

I have a 'paint' question. I bought some paint eggs off ebay but only one hatched. It is about 2 weeks old and does not have any spots yet--and it has a very light beak, most cream colored. Do paint chicks hatch out with spots or do they develop as they get older? Never had any before...

Thanks Aschenfire for the genetics information. I tell you, color genetics in silkies is so exciting but also can be confusing. Sometimes you never know what you will hatch! My cuckoo roo is a beautiful sky blue or 'lavender blue' cuckoo from Canyon Critters. He has had some beautiful...

Lori--again thank you for helping me. So appreciate your taking the time to post my question in the american paint thread--I did see it a while ago. Glad to have an answer to what she is but now I have to ask another question---How did I get a splash from a white hen and either a cuckoo or...

I tried to post in the American Paint thread and could not get the pictures to upload or download or whatever you call it. I am just not very computer literate. Can do the normal stuff but that's about it. Oh well---so disappointed as I was checking my computer several times a day to see...

Oh wow! Thanks for the big pics! I'm so impressed--just don't know that much about computers--my age is showing! Grateful for the info on the cuckoo breeding. I have 2 beautiful sky blue cuckoo hens in this bunch of babies --I will put them in my white silkie pen with my big roo. Have a...

Found Them!! He put the other pictures of the chick in my album. He is a good boy! So I guess your friend could click on my info and look at them and see if she can make a determination from them. Leslie

Thanks so much for finding out the information for me! I know so little about the paint variation. I had so much trouble trying to get pics downloaded to this site. Called my son and he was only able to get only one downloaded and no more. So frustrating! I have other pics of the...

Thanks, I appreciate your help. Still do not know all the silkie color variations. Would be so excited if it was a paint baby but love the splashes too.

This chick hatched from a white silkie . It hatched out totally white but after several weeks 2 black spots appeared on its back and this is what it looks like now. I have the white silkie mom in a pen with a sky blue cuckoo silkie roo and was hoping for a white baby with cuckoo barring but...
