Actually 3 Midnight Marans and this one plus 2 barred rocks. My daughter kept the barred rocks. The others in this pic are Americana Easter Eggers. This is the questionable chick a few weeks ago. Notice the white spot on top of its head. It also had white under its tail feathers. I'm pretty sure...
My daughter bought two barred rock and four midnight majesty maran pullets. However, this one doesn't quite look exactly like either of those breeds. Its comb is bigger than the rest. It also has white legs with black feathers down the front of its legs. Anyone have a guess? RK said they don't...
Warning: this may sound dumb. My husband found this tiny egg from one of our Easter Egger hens. They are all older. Our silkie roo is constantly mounting one hen in particular. If he was successful, would it be possible that it would cause the tiny egg size?
My main reason for sav-a-chick electrolytes and probiotics was from reading the forums. These two were late hatch chicks from an incubator that needs some tweaking. They were rambunctious and full of life but a bit wobbly in the beginning, so I gave vitamin B complex as others have suggested...

Sorry if duplicated. I wasn't sure if I posted in the appropriate place earlier. @Rural-urbanite Could sav-a-chick electrolytes & probiotics be used in conjunction with multi flock feed for silkie chicks? I am concerned about their getting an overdose of vitamins (especially vitamin E). See...

Early hours October 15, this chick was born. She is a silkie hatched in incubator from one of our eggs. The incubator has issues, which led to her hatching about a week late. She zipped the shell and hatched rather quickly with what looked like umbilical with little white matter on the end still...
Hi, we have had chickens for at least ten years. Right now, we have four hens, two silkie roosters, and two silkie hens. The roosters were acquired this summer, so we decided to add to our silkie collection. We have four thriving chicks that are about two months old that were hatched with their...
