    First aid Help Please!!!

    Thank you guys for your advice. She isn’t really eating or drinking and is very puffed up(feathers fluffed). Any advice on what to give her? I’ve tried electrolytes and she won’t touch the water. Tried scrambled eggs and she won’t even eat that. Also tried a little raw yolk and she’s still...

    Recessive Cuckoo/Barred genes?

    Thank you!! Now that my wheels are spinning I have an idea of some of the possibilities. I don't have a "goal" in mind but knowing how the genes interact is so helpful.

    I am experimenting currently with different color combinations and currently have a Cuckoo Satin silkie Roo with 2 frizzle mottled silkie showgirls, a buff silkie(normal silkie feathering) and a partridge frizzle silkie.

    First time incubating silkie eggs

    Following because I also put my first batch of silkies in for the season, I started mine on 3/13 from my own hens. Last year we had low success with shipped eggs and my hens are finally old enough. Good luck can't wait to see how we do!
