Aww, looks like I ended up with a roo then Thanks all for the help.

Thanks for the replies, they are both 11-12 weeks old. Managed to take a few more pics of them: The suspected roo is the one to the left Bit of a close-up on the roo (well, lets hope not) Another body-shot Hen is the one standing, possible roo is scratching around I'm sorry...

Hi all, I recently bought 2 little white silkies, wondering if they are old enough to tell their gender? Chicken A: Chicken B: Thankyou all very very much, your help is always greatly appreciated! :D

Okay thanks lots. I'll chuck her off a couple times a day and make sure she is eating. Thanks heaps :)

Hey chook-lovers, my adult silkie hen has lost heaps of weight from being broody, is it anything to be concerned about? I am buying 6 silkie eggs for her to hatch on the weekend, so I need her to stay broody! She is very light, there's nothing to her but feathers. She is eating, but not often...

Maybe post a pic if u can?

Hey chook-lovers! Just a quick question from a new folk, I have a 1 year old silkie hen and she and the other one want to get out into the grass during the day, but I'm not home from school until 3.

Thankyou guys for the help. I'll try the honey and drip water. The vet didn't say anything about not eating, as that's the problem. The prolapse injections helped her to keep it in. I still don't know how to get her to eat though!

My 1 year old silkie hen has had its prolapse falling out the last 4 days. I immediately took her to the vet as soon as the problem occurred. I know how to take care of the prolapse but she is now not eating, my main problem. She hasn't touched her food and her crop is empty ;( . Her poop is...

I'm really worried about my 1yr old silkie hen. Her prolapse fell out so we took her to the vet. He said push it back in and keep seperate from the flock. We are pushing it in every 3 hours but she is not eating and I am getting very worried. Her crop is empty and food mostly untouched. Please...

My 9 month old silkie hen is always let out and she eats the dirt. Is it good for her? Should I put her somewhere where there is no dirt?

1 failed egg out of 2 pullets! Was just the egg white Anyways first egg (sort of...) ever!
