I have 3 smooth silkie roosters. Less than 6 months. A cuckoo and two shades of blue. Need homes fast. I'm in Napa

What makes it a boy? We have two that I'm trying to sort out gender on. Thanks

What's a crow collar?

Our Elvis started out as Matilda, but as her crest kept growing she just made us think of Elvis more and more. So if Elvis was a chicken, I'm sure she is it!

I'm happy to say while raking tons of leaves we found two silkie eggs today! Yay! I will send some photos of their little combs, Tomorrow, the girls are all asleep. Pattii

The black one is Elvis pictured at 4 mos ,maybe a cockerel , because of feather shape and the grey smooth is also 4 months here. The two silkies are Chewbacca the darker tan and lays but not least the " lavender" one is Valentina at 6 months. Two months later no eggs or crowing. They tend...

I'm just curious how old your baby is as I'm trying to figure out what I have. Thanks

How old are they? I have two silkies that are9 months and two sizzles 6 months, the silkies have small combs, no streamers, the breeder said they were both girls. The other two have single small combs. One a bit pointier neck feathers and tail, but not a pretty flashy rooster tail . We have no...

I would love to hear critiques on my birds as they are my first.

It has been a month and a half since we had our flock reduction and everyone is quiet. Ida called for about a week in the morning. Lays fewer eggs it seems now, 2-3 a week but she is a good gardener and for that I'm happy. As well as a companion always comes to see what's up. My silkies are...

Me too, I don't think I ever met Fred, but I saw him in all the magazines. I had the same lines of afghans. I love my two silkies and posted a photo of the "bluer/silvery" one yesterday. I got two cute sizzle chicks last weekend. They are the sweetest things. Now we are 5 an apparently gender...

Our Cochin hen who's egg laying has recently dropped to a couple a week, has started trying to crow in the mornings! What's up with that? A gender confused hen? We know its her, I snuck out when the crowing started and she was the only one awake. Our other four chickens are all babies.

They also have a covered 5x16 foot covered coop with and attached hen house

She is not crate trained. She grazes around our yard with our other silkie and a big Cochin hen. And now two baby sizzles

This is my 4 1/2 month old silkie Valentina. She has the black skin, blue ears and five toes. She is my first can you tell me what is good and not so good about her. Do you think she is show quality? Can you tell from this phot? Thanks, just trying to learn as much as I can. Pattii in Napa
