Our silkie, Ziggy, is 10 weeks old now! What are your thoughts?

Can anyone tell me what I have here lol. Alice Cooper(Black) and Lucy (white).

I have two blue silkies that are almost 10 weeks old. Give me your best guesses as to what genders they are. BIRD #1 BIRD #2

I know these guys are hard to sex, but any guesses? I honestly don’t have a clue lol

Hi! This is a 2 week old silkie chick raised in an indoor brooder. I just took them off paper towels yesterday and noticed this as I was switching everything over. Is it mites or is it just dust and her (🤞🏻 ) feathers coming in? Also I brought them outside for the first time and noticed she...

Please help! I’m a suuuper nervous silkie mama. PLEASE SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM- STILL NEED HELP! I have 4 viable eggs (3 silkie, one bantam) in the incubator (a RCom 10 pro). (only 2 looking like there's movement) One egg has been extremely active throughout and has pipped (it’s day 20 in the...

I have six month old, Marek’s vaccinated white Silkie pullets available. Located in San Jose, CA. They are $40 each.

Hi! I’m pretty new to chickens, I have five 10 week old milies and five 6 week old silkie and cochins. I just got 3 paint silkies from a local farm 2 weeks ago and I lost 1 last week over night for no apparent reason and so I got another from him so they weren’t lonely just the two of them and...

I know 4 weeks is early, but any guesses on what this little one may be? It’s the only silkie we are keeping so I’m hoping for a hen!

Hi!! I’m a new silkie owner! A local breeder had some for sale and said this one could possibly be a pullet. And I know they’re hard to sex which is why we haven’t had this breed until now. Could anyone give me any educated guesses? They hatched 3/1 so he/she is 8 weeks.

This chick is one week old. I received her in the mail with 14 others. Two were unable To use both of their legs to walk. One was a slipped tendon that was repositioned and she seems to be doing good now. I suspected this chick had the same issue but I’m not sure and it has quickly turned into...

Hello- I have a flock of all different breeds, I would like to separate my silkie hens and roosters to hatch silkie eggs. Since the hen has the potential of laying mixed breed eggs at this moment, how long should I wait to know that she will certainly lay only silkie eggs? Hope it makes sense...

Hi everyone, I have a small flock of four Brahmas I got young, one silkie hen and one rooster (no idea what breed). It turns out one of my Brahmas is a rooster and he is HUGE. Albert the main rooster is much smaller than him but has been attacking the young dude non stop for the past two weeks...

We have two silkie hens who are currently co-raising two chicks together (also silkies). Yesterday I heard a chick screaming and ran in to find one hen walking around with a baby stuck to her, flopping the chick around as she moved. I grabbed him, ripped him off the Mom, and raced him inside to...

I'm trying to figure out if this chick is a silkie or silkie mix. What's making me think it's not a silkie is cause it hatched with light colored legs that have gotten darker over the past week. The legs are still a little yellowish green. The non-silkie hen I suspect might be it's mother is a...
