    Silkie thread!

    My little (hopefully) girl with the two fused toes on each foot is quickly becoming my favorite. I've been calling her cripple though, that's not very nice. Any suggestions on names?

    Silkie thread!

    I've been mostly lurking since I got my 3 week old Silkies 3 weeks ago. I have 6 of them, here are two. Oh and these are hatchery babies from Ideal so please don't tell me they're ugly Don't mind the baby hand, he's 21 months and he adores the chickens. I try to keep them away from the babies...

    Silkie thread!

    Thank you! I keep hand feeding them but I don't like picking them up and taking them from the others because they sound so devastated when they peep. I just hate to stress them out that much. I have to pick them up twice a day and move them from the coop to the run in the morning and back in the...

    I think I've decided to leave my poor little Silkie's fused toes alone since at 2 weeks, s/he's getting around just fine. Also, my Silkies seem pretty skittish. They're hatchery babies and we've had them for 2 weeks (since they were a day old). Every day I feed them by hand but they're still...

    Silkie thread!

    We have 17 hatchery chicks (2 weeks old today) in our backyard. 6 of them are Silkies and I noticed today that one of the white Silkies has two toes that are completely grown together on both feet. I guess I had been paying more attention to their butts since a few had pasty butt and didn't...
