These are my 9 month old silkies that I got from ideal poutlry. One of the white ones went broody and just hatched out a few chicks (from my silkie roo and a red sex link and a maran).
I hope so. This crazy cold weather needs to go away for good.!
We almost lost one of our silkies. I think the little guy was not smart enough to figure out the water bucket we have (it's from Atwoods and it has little nipple things they peck at to drink water). 2 days ago I decided to hold him...
So sorry! I keep mine in a brooder inside our enclosed porch or the garage until they are 6 weeks old and have all of their feathers. Then I move them out to the coop outside.

My silkies are here! They were shipped yesterday and we picked them up from the PO at 8am today. So far all 8 silkies and 8 mystery males are alive and well.
I just ordered 8 silkies in red, white, blue, and black from Ideal. I am somewhat nervous as to how they will turn out after reading this thread. I know they aren't going to be SQ and I don't care, because they will just be pets/egg layers, but I hope they aren't too awful looking. Lol they...
