    Did you buy sexed Silkies from MyPetChicken.com and....

    I read somewhere else that perhaps they DNA test. People were arguing that it would be too costly but if they have it set up so they pay their own to do it I would imagine it would keep costs lower.. Or they just have really experienced sexers!

    My white silkie that was supposed to be a roo crowed for the first time today. I had a feeling it was a roo from the get go. Seemed totally different than all the girls.

    Here are my Silkies from MPC. The white one is supposed to be a Roo and is already acting like one. Although I am inexperienced since I've never had a Roo. This one flies up in the air and comes down almost on the others, acts like it's in charge and making sure everyone knows their place. In...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Silkie

    My 3 Silkies often pile in a nest box to sleep, sometimes only one will be in the nest box and two will roost. Typically 2 are in the nest box and one is roosting, but then all of a sudden out of the blue, they all were roosting last night. Go figure.

    Sad to say I lost one of my girls recently. Not sure what was wrong with her. I suspect she had a prolapsed vent at one point and then she got slow and walking funny while keeping her rear low to the ground.

    My chicks are due june 13th. So we can keep our fingers crossed together! I am not supposed to have roosters here either. I already ordered a No Crow collar fron My Pet Chicken. I am hoping it works out and if not that my neighbirs are tolerant like yours!

    Oh and I have had the same experience with the girls getting soaked in warm rain in evening with below freezing temps over night. They did fine for me as well.

    It is unclear where in China the Silkies originated however China can have winters down to -20 in fact I saw this today. "Chinese residents embrace coldest winter in 30 years as temperatures drop to as low as-47.8C. China is bracing itself for a week-long cold wave that has seen temperatures...

    I see this is an old thread, but I wanted to post my experience with ordering female Silkies from my pet chicken. I read everywhere that it was not possible to sex Silkies but figured I was better off taking the chance since everywhere else near here wants you to order 25 straight run. My girls...
