    Silkie chick colours

    Hi all, I hatched some silkies a week ago, the father is white, with white, splash and black hens. Just wondering what colour the chicks will turn out. Also, are silkies meant to have feathering wings? The hens were with other roosters around 3 weeks before the eggs were layed, and I am slightly...

The gasping one is laying (22 weeks old), the other is not (13 weeks old). I just gave them some apple cider vinegar and garlic. We had...

    Infertile rooster???

    I’ve cracked a couple open but I can’t tell, they could be too fluffy. I don’t think it’s the incubator because I am putting same age Plymouth Rock in at the same time and getting nearly 100% fertility.

I have put all of their eggs in the incubator (at seperate times) and so far none of the eggs in any of the batches were fertile.

    Is this egg fertile?

    I just got my first egg so I decided to crack it open. The pullets are in with A LOT of cockerels. I can’t tell if it is fertile or not, I have attached a pic.

    Sexing 6 week old GL wyandottes

    Update: Looks like there are two roosters. Number 1 and 4. Any other opinions are more than welcome. Also, I have to chose which rooster I will keep.
