    This Silkie, is she mottled or calico or Partridge or something else?

    Check out this really interesting silkie from my flock. Below are pictures from day old until now.

    What color/pattern are these silkies?

    Definitely not the chocolate. Her eggs were not fertile. Funny that you mentioned red silky because Rufus, the grandpa rooster actually came from a red silky project breeder. And Archie, my current rooster has red leakage and comes from Rufus. I guess it isn’t super important, just wanted to...

    Found her on TikTok and contacted her through there. I am not on FB. They do have very similar pattern/coloring to mine. Thanks!!

    What color/pattern are these silkies?

    Yep, Archie (black silkie roo)and either black hens, black/white cuckoo or white splash. My previous rooster is also pictured, he passed so not a possible parent, but was grandparent to these.

    I'm going to sell this duo. What color/pattern would you say these are? I was thinking Buff and Blue, but when I searched the results do not look like these 2. They're a about 4 months old. Also, anyone what them? SW Michigan/Michiana :)

    Swollen Vent 7 week old Silkie chick

    Thanks so much Debbie! This baby seems to be feeling better at the moment. I will give her some coconut oil soon just in case she is constipated. She is still crying from time to time, breaks my heart. I'll get some prep H for my first aid kit and will try that.

    Swollen Vent 7 week old Silkie chick

    I don't have cortisone cream, so will need to get that. Coconut oil is in the freezer. She is running with her mama and siblings in the yard, still not 100% but at least trying to keep up. Thank you for replying. I have had so many issues this year and have had chickens for 25+ years. Stuff...

    Swollen Vent 7 week old Silkie chick

    Yesterday I thought this chick was attempting to crow, but now I'm not sure, maybe the little thing is in pain. Today I noticed the vent is swollen and was a mess. I have cleaned it up using warm water and dishsoap at first, then used saline solution and a q-tip because it looked like it was...

    Spring 2025 Silkie hatch, what colors/patterns did we get?

    Rooster is black with gold leakage carried down from Rufus, who was sort of buff I guess (he passed, he's in the snowy picture). Hens are black, black/white cuckoo, and white paint.

    Spring 2025 Silkie hatch, what colors/patterns did we get?

    I do a hatch each May or June. Sometimes by incubator sometimes by broody hen. This year I had 5 broodys, so no incubator needed. Seven hatched and they are being raised by the Queen Mother of my flock, Isabelle. At this point I think she has raised everyone that's out there! Best, sweetest mama...

    Chick with goopy, crusty eye and what I pulled out of it

    Ran out for supplies. The eye looks surprising good. Its been a few hours since I messed with it earlier this morning. Brought her in and cleaned her up and put the ointment on. I checked to see if there was anything else in there, difficult to tell, but I don't think there is. I'll check on her...
