It took some coaxing but I was able to get a video of both my boys crowing. To be fair, they normally crow first thing in the mornings for about 20ish minutes. The rest of the day they may crow hear or there, but it is not constant. Personally, I do not mind crowing, I love it. I would rather...

I house my silkies with my bigger birds. I have 2, a rooster and a pullet who is taking forever to lay. My rooster will be 3 in May, he was hatched out and broody raised. I also kept his larger hatch mate Marans rooster. The 2 of them have always had a wonderful working relationship. Truth be...

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Silkies are so hard to sex and waiting this long I was starting to second guess myself. I am still kicking myself a little bit for jumping the gun and selling one to my cousins last summer. I thought girl, then at 4 months old she started to look like my Ezzie who I thought...

Hey everyone, I could really use some opinions and reassurances. I bought a silkie pullet back in October. She was supposed to be 5 1/2 months old. It is now April and she is 11 months old and still no egg. Everything about her screams pullet to me, but, I have been wrong before when I first...

It's time to introduce my new silkie Poppet. I have had her just over 2 months now. She was supposed to be 5 months old when I got her so that would put her at 7 months currently. I am a little iffy on that being her actual age because she arrived tiny and for a month still had the young chick...

Hi everyone. It has been awhile since I posted. I am excited and anxious as I finally have quality silkie eggs being shipped to me. They are due to arrive Thursday and I have my fingers crossed they arrive safely. I have never had shipped eggs before so huge learning curve and I am reading up...

That is a very nice picture and a pretty chick.

Thank you everyone. Ezzie's rich color scares me just a little. Ezzie acts like a hen, walks around like a hen, but I'm starting to silently question myself. Either way I will love love her just the same. I'm sorry, until I hear a crow I have to keep referring to Ezzie as a her. My favorite boy...

Hi everyone. It's been awhile. Ezzie is now over 4 month's old and I'm still guessing on if she's a girl or a boy. She walks around and has the posture of a hen, no wattles and with a single comb still pretty much has nothing. I've also thankfully heard no crowing from her or the other 6 of her...

Like mother, like daughter. Little Ezzie is quickly developing the cheeky attitude that earned her momma the nickname Cheeky Chiquita.

Thank you, I'm quite fond of her coloring as well. I'm pleasantly surprised with her. In the mad rush to get her mother I did not realize that partridge could be a color option thinking she was Buff. Ezzie's colors are so soft that to me they scream girl. I soo hope I'm right.

Ezzie turns 6 weeks old tomorrow. Today is the first time she and her sisters get to spend outside. They are having a blast. I know it is still too soon to tell, but I keep hoping she's a girl.

What did Ezzie get for her 1 week birthday? 6 new sisters. Picked up 3 Buff orp and 3 Cinnamon Queen siblings this afternoon for her.

Unfortunately the 2nd egg that was pipped passed in the shell. I also candled the 3rd egg this morning and did not like what I saw, I did a egg-topsy and sadly I was right. The chick must have passed around the time they went into lockdown. The surviving chick is very strong and was moved into...

I'm leaning that way at the moment. It's back is taking the longest to dry and fluff up. I need to see if there is chipmunk stripes or not. She already has attitude hours old. Every time I peak in at her she sticks her beak up in the air and gives me a "what are you looking at?' look.

This is the best picture I can get right now until I can move it to the brooder. It's partially dried off but any color guesses?

The first one is here! The black skin threw me for a second as I thought how the heck did you hatch out black. As she's drying she has yellow/gold fluff all over her.

Congratulations on the little cutie.

In the last 30 minutes, 2 out of the 3 Chiquita eggs externally pipped!!!
