    Thank you! I was leaning towards Partridge after I did some searching online.

    Showgirl silkie chick question

    I have hatched a showgirl silkie chick that will be raised with old English bantam chicks. We started out with 6 naked neck silkie eggs and ended up with only one hatching. That being said, I was surprised by her markings. What color would you think this little one is going to be? Thanks...

    My Wimpy Silkie Roo

    I have a silkie roo that is 6 months old and just let me tell you that the fact that your “wimpy roo”doesn’t crow is great! Lol. Pecker, my little guy, crows all…..day……long. Nonstop. I thought he would be fairly quiet, as he was hand raised from hatch as a singleton, but started crowing...

    Brenda or Brandon?

    Yes, his hackle feathers are what made me start questioning him. They aren’t as obvious as my silkie but the girls do not have this new growth that “Brandon” now has.

    Brenda or Brandon?

    I am also thinking his/her legs seem a little thicker than the other hens. Oh well, what will be will be!If Brenda is now Brandon, that means I have 4 hens and 2 roosters. Not sure how that will go. Pecker, my silkie roo, has hit full blown puberty but hasn’t started messing with the girls...

    Brenda or Brandon?

    I was looking at this yesterday! All of a sudden, it almost seems like there are hackle feathers and possible saddle feathers. I guess she will remain Brenda until she tells us for sure! 😁

    Brenda or Brandon?

    Thank you so much for the info! You are correct, she is not laying yet. (None of the girls are) I honestly just figured they wouldn’t lay until the days started getting longer again based on everything I have read, or in the spring. She definitely looks the most mature of the group. No doubt...

    Brenda or Brandon?

    Thank you! That’s what I was hoping to hear. (What is POL the acronym for?)

    Brenda or Brandon?

    Good morning! I’ve had my 5 mixed breed girls for a little over a month now and they were born at the end of June. One of my girls, Brenda, is now officially taller than my silkie roo, so I sent a message to the friend that gave me the hens just as an update. I always send him pictures and...

    Noisy Hens

    Are your hens noisy or relatively quiet? Just asking for fun. My 5 hens hatched at the end of June, I am told, and I rarely hear them make any sounds. Occasionally, if they are irritating each other, they will make a little bit of noise but they are definitely not singing the songs of their...
