    What color is this silkie? 13 weeks

    Thank you! I have never seen it and she looks so different from my other silkies…. Any idea if she has a mix of something else or is a different type of silkie?

    What color is this silkie? 13 weeks

    The darker one is 13 weeks and seems to be a pullet. But her color is unlike what I’ve seen before. I say she’s dark chocolate with ashiness but my husband says more black/salt n pepper coloring. She is beautiful and tiny and a little skittish. Always has been. Fairly certain she is a girl. But...

    Hen or Roo? Silkie mix… Please help!

    Please help me figure this out. Silkie mix. Hatched May 5 so almost 10 weeks old. Prominent bright red comb, wattles began to appear end of June! I can’t get attached to another roo as I already have to give away 5 in total already 🥹 just gave 2 away last week. It’s been heartbreaking. Not sure...

    Satin 4-6 mos: Pullet or Roo?

    Oh no :( I am scheduled to drive over to pick her up today. This is the only pics I have now. It’s about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic…. I’ll know better once I see her/him. I’ll try to post a pic here when I’m there & hopefully the timing is good and you can take a closer look at a clearer...

    For those who let broody hens raise chicks with the flock…

    How did it go? Do you have any pointers now that you’ve been through it? I have a broody hen who’s first clutch didn’t make it so I will be placing day old chicks from our incubator under her in a day or two….. I have never done this and am not sure how it all works but I’ve had success with...

    Satin 4-6 mos: Pullet or Roo?

    Yey! Hope so. It’s the same pullet. Just a few weeks apart (I think)…. About 4 months old now

    Satin 4-6 mos: Pullet or Roo?

    For those more familiar with satins - would you say this is a young hen or a young roo? About 4-5 months old in the first pic and a few weeks younger in the second pic. These are the best pics I have. Am going to pick this beauty up. The current owner believes it’s a female, but I’m never sure...

    Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

    Mahalo for this. I appreciate your insight. She seems to be adapting well. It’s been a learning curve for sure. I’ve reintroduced her (somewhat) to the group. She is safely separated from the meaner hens by a gate but they can all see/smell/hear one another. She now has her own little nursery...

    Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

    Okay this makes me so sad. I thought it would heal up. I’m so sad bc she is the absolute sweetest and kept everyone in line too. But the younger hens got bigger (and meaner).
