    Silkie Questions about Size and Feathers-possible Frizzle?

    That’s interesting! I wonder if some just have a more rapid growth spurt than others? Ah I see. We were surprised when the feathers started growing out like this, we sort of expected fluff. 😅 Hopefully we will get some feedback. 😊 Thank you!

    Silkie Questions about Size and Feathers-possible Frizzle?

    Hi everyone! My husband bought me a couple of Silkie chicks for my birthday last month. They were the same size at a couple days old when we bought them.

    We honestly aren’t sure. He seemed fine beforehand and one morning was dead in the hen house. 💔 No signs of predators or exterior injury. All of the hens seemed perfectly healthy. He was only around 7years old, he was with our first batch of chicks. I’m honestly not sure if that’s old for a...
