It also helps that the hen who hatched them is the dominate hen and she looks out for them occasionally still, not often but she still does it’s adorable. I’m not sure he would do as well if he wasn’t a Bantam the smaller size really helps
I know this post is old but I would like to add that my bantam roo Francis was born with a crippled leg and does fine with one. I would say it causes him problems but he is the fastest and hardest chicken to catch in the coop. Granted he is the only roo we kept and he was bullied by his brother...
Thanks! Yeah my last group of three silkies I had last year I thought for sure I had some roosters and they all ended up girls so figured crossed on these ones! I will post more pics in a month to show how they have changed! Thanks!
I have two silkie chicks that are about 9 weeks old. Any thoughts. I think the black one is a pullet and I'm not sure about the golden one. Also included pics of EE that I'm pretty sure is a puller as well her body color is just really unique!
I am glad I found this! Tea tree has been my go to oil for my girls. I use it to treat the very first sign of bumble foot (a red circle on foot) I use it undiluted. I may start diluting it now but man is that stuff powerful!
[/IMG]Hi! I have three silkie chicks that are 8 weeks old today. I am thinking that I may have at least one pullet one rooster and one I'm not sure on. Any help would be great.
Hi! Was hoping to get pic, but all are girls! The little cochin lays 4 or 5 eggs a week although she was late to start laying it took her 8 monaha but she lays almost the biggest eggs. The easter egger doesn't lay as often but hers are bigger. My barred rock lays the most but smaller ones.
