What happened to lil' Ida? I have a silkie that is now 10 weeks old that is the same. I don't think she has grown since she hatched. She weighs only 2 oz. But she is the spunkiest sweetest thing and can catch a grasshopper almost as big as she is.
I have a silkie pair, 2 lavender orpington pullets, a Rhode Islande red and a barred rock hen. I also have 5 silkie chicks 3 turken chicks and 6 bantam cochin/frizzle chicks.
I'm relatively new to chicken keeping. I started out with 3 hens as pets for my children and eggs as a plus. Now I have more than that :) and truly enjoy the entertainment.
