    Keeping Guineas away from the Chickens

    Hello, I have a friend that has a bunch of free ranging chickens along with a few guineas, but has been having problems with the guineas being very mean to the chickens, even to the point where the chickens stay in constant hiding. Is there any possible way other than just to...

    Silkie thread!

    Sometimes silkies will get "leakage" in their hackles which is just off coloring, not solid coloring usually just ticking, for example black's sometimes will have gold leakage in the hackles. Hope this was of some help :)

    Silkie colour question :)

    There is absolutely no telling, it all just depends what "hidden" genes these birds may carry.

    breeds & silkies

    Quote: From the way you formed your question its almost like you don't really want them. I don't suggest anyone choose a breed just because a bunch of us lunatics are addicted to the breed.

    breeds & silkies

    My silkies usually start getting them in the fall when it begins to cool and then usually they go away in the spring, but I don't know it this is the same case for others. When I notice some mites I give them a couple squirts with Adam's Flea and Tick spray and they go right away,

    breeds & silkies

    In my opinion silkies are not any harder to take care of. You just have to watch for mites as they LOVE to hide in all that fluff, and if you're showing just have to keep their feathers in condition. But as far as just having silkies go, they aren't very high maintenance ...........IMO anyway

    Quote: Is it the lighting in the pic, or does she have silver in her hackles and wing? The off coloring is just from the lighting she has no leaking or anything.
