Here is my rooster that I'm thinking about putting in with my EE girls. His dad was a buff silkie and mom is an EE. What do you think I might get??
Here are the girls. The rooster with them is leaving. He's not very nice to people.
There's nothing new that I can tell,but with chickens you never know I guess. I feed them in the morning when I go and open their coop. At least when it's not too cold I open it. I give them water in the morning and usually in the afternoon as well. I do have electricity in the coop hallway...
I have five EE's and for some reason 3 of them haven't laid an egg in months. I have 3 in a coop with a rooster and the other two are in a different coop. One of the others was laying until it got very cold out. The other is a daughter to the 3 with the rooster and she hasn't started laying...
I have 4 that have the black and white coloring. 2 are girls and 2 are boys. I can tell you that dad was a hatchery buff silkie and mom is one of two EE's that we have. One EE is more of the multi brown coloring and the other EE is more gray and brown. That's the one I think is the mom. I will...
I'm so glad my EE hasn't lost her mind then. I was a little worried something might have been wrong with her. Although she sits a little sideways in the nesting box.
Can EE's go broody? I have one that I caught in a nesting box with eggs last night. I thought something was wrong with her because she's usually stand offish, but I could let her and she started "yelling" at me. I'm surprised I'm getting any eggs at all. I've got 5 broody Cochins, 1 broody...
Not sure but I'd like to know too. I have 7 EE/Silkie mixes right now. Curious to see what they grow up to be but might sell them do to space.
I have some. They are smooth feathered but some have the dark skin. I will have to get some pictures of them. They are funny little creatures though...
I have a quick question, I have some Easter egger/silkie mix chicks that I am looking to sell. Just wondering if anyone has an idea how much I should ask for them. I'm not looking to ship them so it's going to be local only , but I have no idea what to charge. Thanks!!
I suppose I should feel lucky. All my birds started around 16 weeks. Even my silkies started earlier than most. I guess that means I have happy chickens?!?
They are sooo cute! Any thoughts on what I could get if I crossed my EE's with a silkie or a cochin? I have a little partridge sebright too....wonder what she would hatch out if she was with an EE rooster?
Are there bantam EE's?? What about a silkie and EE cross?? I have some EE girls and was wondering about what would I end up with if they were in with my silkies or my cochins??
