    Pullet with a mullet? Silkie gender guesses please!

    Wry neck not getting better. :(

    Aww, I hope your chicks are doing much better soon! It definitely took some time with mine—and sometimes her head still droops, but she can quickly lift it and keep doing what she’s doing. She’s developed a taste for the vitamin E and the scrambled egg. :) One other plus is that she is super...

    Pullet with a mullet? Silkie gender guesses please!

    Hi- yes, they are almost 8 weeks old. I figured they were too young to tell. Just hoping there might be some Silkie seer here... Reminds me of when I was waiting to find out the genders of my own kids (all boys). 😆

    Thanks for the replies—she is finally getting a LOT better!! I’m so happy. She even has some feathers coming up on her head now. I think the oiliness of the vitamin E (which got all over everything including her head whenever I gave it to her) may have been slicking down her head feathers lol.

    Pullet with a mullet? Silkie gender guesses please!

    I’m wondering if two of my silkies are boys judging by their flat-top poofs. The white one also seems to have some longer strands. I know it’s early- they are only two months old. Can’t wait to find out, though!! :celebrate Any guesses?

    It’s been over a week. I’m going to add the D complex. Thank you! And I’ll just keep going. She is eating and drinking, though not a lot at all, so hopefully the vitamins will start to work.

    I’m thinking maybe my black silkie chick may have more than just wry neck wrong with her. I’ve been giving her vitamin water, vitamin E with selenium, and I’ve been hand feeding and giving water by hand four times a day. She is a slow eater and takes in very little. If I help her lift her head...

    Escape room for brooder

    I posted on the intro page about my 6 five-week-old chicks bullying/pecking my 2 three-week-old silkies. I tried the “see but don’t touch” method with wire dividing the brooder, but the chicks kept chirping to get to each other. I tried to put them together again, but again, the silkies hid in...

    Thank you! I tried the sod and it totally distracted them!! It helped that there was a big fat worm in it. 😆

    Greetings from New York!

    Hello, I live out on eastern Long Island and just got eight chicks: 4 Easter eggers, 2 silkies, and 2 light brown leghorns. I’m new to raising chickens. At 3.5 weeks old, the silkies are a week younger than the others and are much smaller. I got them three days later than the other as well. I...
