    Possibly Eggbound Silkie

    Silkie thread!

    So we are very new to the whole world of chickens so excuse me if I'm sounding dumb here. I have 7 chicks that we have had since there were a day old. 4 are Brahmas and 3 are silkies. They are now 14 weeks old. About 2 weeks ago we notice that our black silkie (Potato) was getting combs...
