Not high quality Silkies!
I have 2 with a skinny comb, does that automatically mean ROO? Or has someone ended up with a Hen having such an odd comb at 12 weeks?!
4 Silkies…. Black has crowed and he is the BIGGEST!
2 grey/blue have straight comb
webbed feet?
It never seemed to bother the poor baby but I noticed the last few days it is more hunched over and not as active
I see it eat etc but just doesn’t seem like it’s normal self
I might be overreacting but can it still manage and live with feet like the picture?
HELP!!!
Will this baby make it? 15 weeks old and webbed feet? Always seemed good but I guess now that it is gaining weight she seems more in the back and hunched here and there…. She eats a bit but I’ve noticed a difference!!
My favorite and I’m heart broken!
Selling some of my Silkies and I just want to figure out if this is a hen or roo?!? I know it’s early but I’m hoping it’s a Pullet! On the smaller side but idk
OOO Please tell me my little 12 week old CocoPuff is not a Roo??!!!
On the smaller side out of the rest , fro is looking rounder , but is that wattles starting to grow? Or can this baby still be a hen?!?!? 😬
I went to check on the babies and one was tangled in Silkie moms feathers the little wing was caught I got it unstuck but I can tell that wing hangs a little bit lower than the other. Well it’s the tip feather that I can see but on the good side you can’t see the tip feathers if that makes...
Never hatched these colors before and I wanted to see your opinion.
Would the first one be a solid black even with the light under chin and 2 grey/blue/lavendar?
Also, I never had such a light colored partridge before!? Any idea how it’ll turn out?
Ignore the last white one! That one is...
I know it’s early but any guesses on the sex with these comb pictures?!
New to this…
Top 3 male?
First bottom 2 female and last two no clue seems like a single comb?!
Anyone ever had success adding new chicks under Momma hen with her 2 week old chicks?
Momma Orpington hatched 7 silkies and they are 2 weeks old!
I have 2 newly hatched Amercauna chicks to keep warm.
Would I be able to slip them under with the others during the night?
Any pointers or success...
So they are in a brooder box Mom and 7 new baby chicks!
She literally buried them when she scratches and covers the food and waterer! Sometimes accidentally kicks them while scratching
Other then that she cuddles them and shows them food etc
I do plan to give them access to outside but the...
How long keep them in brooder? They were hatched NYE!
Mom is being a good Mom but you can tell she wants out but then clams sits back with them then gets up looks around like where am I!
She’s poking at wall and scratching! Guess normal behavior now that she’s up moving around!?
Baby rolled out the egg and this was still in it?! This means it didn’t take in all the veins? 😭 does it have a chance to live?
Mom is still sitting still have 4 more to hatch! Hoping it’ll be okay!
Do I remove the empty egg shells or will mom move them when they all finish hatching?
