Silkie/Polish Crested Flock
We introduced the Polish Crested Rooster to the white Silkie flock,

Just lost 6 of my little 2 week old chicks to some kind of predator over 2 nights. Only 2 surviving out of 9 hatched. Very sad. They were soooo cute - see my page.

They're a bit camera shy -...
I have had a lot of trouble getting my silkies to go up the ramp to the coop which is about 2 - 3 feet above ground.
When I got my first 3 silkies - 2 got the message straight away but the third took a week of persuaion at bedtime.
Being a novice - I never realised that silkies prefered to be...
My white silkie hens have now had little black fuzzy butts from my Black & White Polish Crested Rooster (3 years old)
Has anyone else got any of these?
Any pictures of what they look like when they grow up? Thanks
Yours are real fluffy!
Here's my new chicks - they are from a white silkie hen and Black Polish Crested Rooster - he's 3 and a half years old now and it's his first chicks. He keeps shakin' his booty and crowin' - I'm sure he's saying "whos's the daddy - I'm the daddy" !
