    Help with my silkie, please.

    She is at least enjoying all the attention, she's always been the most people friendly of our silkies.

    Help with my silkie, please.

    She is 5.5 months old. Hatched July 13, I think. That's the best I could get of her mouth, she was not happy with me. The last is just a random patch of skin. I don't see any evidence of creepy crawlies. Normal poops.

    No, they have been healthy, I have them in a brooder in the house. It's been too cold for mosquitoes. But, I have kids and it wouldn't be unheard of for them to have snuck in to visit and not been as careful as I am with trying to avoid transferring things.

    I was out in the run when I noticed she was standing by herself. Both sides of her face are like this. She's wrapped in a towel because I gave her a bath so I could see better what was going on.

    Silkie 6 weeks old, cockerel or pullet?

    This is Uo at 6 weeks, I was convinced until a few days prior she was a boy. DNA results came in at 5.5 weeks. Girl.

    Gender and mix guesses?

    Confident our guesses were correct unless either of the golds ends up being a very slow developer. The silver is 3 times as big as his sisters and nearly as tall as his mom. I wish I knew what their dad was. They are all feathering out so prettily!

    The True Truth: How to tell an Easter Egger from an Ameraucana. Even if you think you have an Ameraucana, do check!

    Yes. She is a remarkably pretty bird, her name is Queen Anne. She's kind of tall and skinny. The Ameraucana (Diana) is fluffier and heftier and just larger over all. They look enough a like though that the Ameraucana genes must be strong. The baby Green Queen im raising now is nearly...

    I think they are more likely to lay green, it's just not perfect. And marketing.

    From the description when I bought them they can lay anything from 'sage to aqua' so about as accurate as any EE.

    I've looked at them as a variety of Easter Egger. Like a more designer mutt. Lol.
