    Silkie colors - Buff over Blue and Black

    I can't buy a different roo, or have 2 different colors. I live in a neighborhood and only have 1 small coop. I have a NICE buff roo and hen then the other colors that are in there together. I am hoping to hatch a few, but probably not many. Also, if the rooster is way too loud then he will...

    Silkie colors - Buff over Blue and Black

    Will I just get a random off color out of a buff/blue or buff/black pairing, or will I get an actual color? I have a buff roo (maybe, still not sure) in with a 2 black, 1 blue, and 1 buff hens. Amy

    are silkies delicate?

    Ok, I have some silkie questions as well, and this seems like a good post to ask them in. My silkies are 6 months old. What are signs of mites, what should I look for? Also, how do I treat mites if/when they get them? I live in western Wa and our winters usually don't go below 25 degrees...

    When to start my silkies on Layer's feed?

    I still have my 5 month old silkies on chick feed, but I ran out of feed and I am going to go pick some up. Should I keep them on chick feed for longer or start them on layer feed since they are 5 mo? Thanks! Amy

    Opinions on my buff silkies? How do these guys look?

    Aside from the color problems (which I am hoping will molt off) how do they look? Body type, feathering, comb on the boy, crests, etc? I am new to chickens and these are my first ones. Amy

    Opinions on my buff silkies? How do these guys look?

    Yay, some responses They haven't molted yet, and the lady had them seperated by color when I picked up my hatching eggs, so I am hoping a good molt will take care of any color problems. But Charlie is a very light buff, is that a problem? But they do look different depending on the lighting...

    Opinions on my buff silkies? How do these guys look?

    I have 3 buff silkies that I would like to get some outside knowledgeable opinions on. I would like to maybe start a small buff breeding program, do these silkies look good enough to start with? Also, is it asking for problems showing un-vaccinated chickens? They are around 12-14 weeks (I...

    Please help - Sick Silkie - I'm really worried :(

    What type of vitamins should I get to give him? Are there special fowl/bird vitamins or baby vitamins? I will pick some up tomorrow if he isn't doing better. Amy
