My silkie likes my granddaughters Barbie shades!

I have a cute little white silkie, Easter just passed and I am wondering about this color dying your chicken. First off, is it harmful to my chicken and I live in Florida, is it illegal to do this. It seems cute and cool, but don't want to harm my animal in any way. All input is appreciated.

I didn't know that, very cool, trying to hand train this little squirt! Beautiful goat by the way

No problem, thanks for the info, so it's official, my lavender is a silkie! Lol

Do they have feathered feet also

Sorry, did you say the chic looks like a mix because of the feathered feet. I thought silkies had feathered feet, she has 5 toes...

Lol thanks for that valuable information!

Hi, this is my lavendar from tractor supply, but I think she's a Silkie. I really wanted a silkie but have no experience with them.

I have an app called poulty pal. It crashes alot and loses information. Not impressed with its tracking feature either. Has no total egg count. Just wondering if there is anything better to track my eggs. Open to all suggestions

Just seems weird that she started laying and now its been 4 days with nothing. Worried something might b wrong. The hen is acting perfectly normal eating and drinking.. they have the ability to free range but im keeping them in today to see if she is hiding the eggs

My 21 week old hen started to lay, she layed 1 egg every 28 to 32 hours. Did this for 4 eggs, now its been over 48 hours and no eggs.Is tthis normal when they first started to lay eggs. Please help

New to raising chickens. Not sure what broody is and what it does to the chicken. Can someone please explain

Yes I want them to continue laying and thay was why I was ssking, but was afraid I was stressing them out by taking the eggs every day

I have 2 roos and 7 hens. They are all young and approaching laying age. One hen has begun laying. She lays one, skips aday, then has laid for 3 days consecutive, my guess is she will skip tomorrow because she layed it late afternoon. But I feel guilty taking the eggs as soon as she lsys them...
