    ISO breeder of non-standard silkie colors

    Hi! I'm looking for reputable breeders of non-standard silkie colors (no white, black, blue, splash, paint, partridge please!) that ships eggs this time of year? I'd prefer if I could get more than one color from the same breeder if possible. Who has what this time of year? Thanks!

    Ayam Cemani - one is obviously a male, but what is the other?

    That's what I thought, but was hoping for girls. That gives me 9 cockerels and 2 pullets LOL Thanks!

    Ayam Cemani - one is obviously a male, but what is the other?

    Hi! Ayam Cemani, 11 weeks of age. The left one is a cockerel, there's no doubt about that. He crows, and his comb/wattles are quite prominent. The one to the right, however, has me perplexed, and I have several like it. Out of about a dozen birds, 4 are very obviously male (and have been for a...

    8-week old Ayam Cemani comb, normal? And what gender?

    Hi - I've noticed that some of my Ayam Cemani chicks have a gap in their comb. Fully black, oyster tongue, from good quality stock. There are no side sprigs. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Does anyone know what causes it? And is this 8-week old a pullet or a cockerel? Thanks!

    Wobbly head, spinning in circles

    I had read up on that a bit, but most videos I'd seen showed chicks that were "stargazing", with their necks visibly twisted either so their head was resting flat on their back, or off to the side with the chick eye to the sky. I wasn't sure if there was a "mild" form of wry neck. Thank you very...

    Wobbly head, spinning in circles

    Hi - I have two silkie chicks that are showing odd symptoms. Chick #1 is almost 8 weeks old - for about 10 days now, its head is wobbly, spinning a bit to the side, a little unstable on its feet when it happens but otherwise good, almost like it has bouts of vertigo/dizziness. These bouts happen...

    Ayam Cemani X Svarthöna (Swedish black hen)?

    Hi - Has anyone ever heard of an Ayam Cemani crossed with Svarthöna, to try to add diversity to the breed once bred back to Ayam? It seems, at least in Canada, that many Ayams look like Svarts (Ayams that have more of a traditional chicken-type body, not really gamey) so I'm thinking quite a few...

    Failure to thrive in a 5 week old silkie

    I just gave it scrambled egg (had it cooking while I was typing my post for this thread lol). It's eating like it was famished, very excitedly lol even though I know it isn't starving (baby chicks aren't competing with it for food at all). I'll stop by our local TS for Nutridrench, I saw that...

    Failure to thrive in a 5 week old silkie

    Hi - I hatched 3 silkies almost 6 weeks ago. Two are doing great while the third, one that I had to help during hatch, has always been behind its siblings. Right now they're twice its size and are growing their adult "fluff" nicely, while this little one seems to struggle with feather growth...

    Lavender to Splash Orpington - who's done it, and what were the results?

    Thank you!

    Lavender to Splash Orpington - who's done it, and what were the results?

    Hi! I just got a dozen of lavender X splash orpington eggs, setting them in the incubator tomorrow. I'm finding it hard to figure out which color the chicks might be - the breeder showed me chicks she had from the same mix and they looked lavender to me, definitely not black, but her birds are...

    Who's who?

    That's how I've always seen it written - ameraucanas can be wheaten or blue wheaten (whereas the black in the wheaten is diluted), but in general people write WBW
