    Don't give up just yet. It could do a 360 and all of a sudden be a hen. Haha they are surprising sometimes. I ordered 6 from cackle and 3 turned out to be male. I ended up going and finding some silkies from a local breeder in hopes of evening out the ratio and got 7 more. Two of them turned out...

    Yes. I'd say almost 95% a male. Big crest and waffles forming. He is sure beautiful though. I love that color. I have 5 silkie roosters. 2 are with my flock of 10 hens and they get along great both with different jobs to do for the flock. Three of my roosters I had to make a bachelor pad for...

    Need advice/ solution to an injury

    Thank you so so much! She doesn't seem to be at all phased by it besides being bothered she can't be with her friends. My main concern at first was infection as I didn't even notice it probably till a few dats after it happened. It was tucked under her feathers and there was no blood noticeable...

    Thank you so much for your reply! I will try to get a better picture and post it bigger if I can figure it out! I am cleaning it daily and it is drying up.

    Need advice/ solution to an injury

    Hey guys! First off, I want to put a disclaimer for anyone thinking about giving me advice to put my baby down or "cull", not going to happen. She is my pet and I love her very much. Moving on, my baby is named Little Foot and she is a 10 month old sex link. She has an injury on her chest from...

    Wow 7 hens and 3 roos. This gives me great hope that my 3 roos will get along fine with my 15 hens. Mine also have lots of room. I've just been reading too many horror stories of what bad could happen I guess.

    Show Off Your Silkies!!!

    Wow, yours sure are beautiful! Mine are just starting to fill out and lose all their baby feathers. They are 2 months old, I have several that are a little older and I just love how gentle and sweet they are.

    Show Off Your Silkies!!!

    That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for your reply. How many hens do you keep with your 3 roos? I have a back up coop/ run I could use just in case mine don't get along and I need to seperate some, however, I'd absolutely love to keep them all together as that would minimize time/ work to...
