    Silkie pullet or roo?

    Oh yikes, sorry to say but with the updated photo, I am leaning towards roo!! The picture from the side I couldn’t tell how large the comb was.

    Mottled (carrier?) expression in chick down

    Thank you so much! I had no idea that was possible! I did have one chick from my “mottled project” shipped eggs, that had more mottling as a chick but she lost almost all of it as an adult, but kept a few white feathers here and there. She also retained white skin, so I wasn’t actually sure if...

    Mottled (carrier?) expression in chick down

    Thank you for sharing! I really know very little about mottling and would like to learn more about it! @MysteryChicken do you know much about the mottling gene? @NagemTX maybe?

    Silkie pullet or roo?

    Does her comb look very wide and/or bumpy if you look at it from the front?

    Silkie pullet or roo?

    At 17 weeks I would guess pullet with a small comb like that. She isn’t bearded so it can be normal for her to have wattles. Maybe she is approaching the point of lay and that is why she is maturing. If you want to take photos of the comb/head straight on, and some standing side photos that may...

    Mottled (carrier?) expression in chick down

    Wow that is so interesting! What beautiful chicks! So I wonder if I am seeing a completely different gene entirely that is causing the head spots? With the babies that have some light spotting, they tend to grow in completely solid. So I always assumed that they were mottled carriers. (It came...

    Mottled (carrier?) expression in chick down

    Hello! It has been my understanding that chicks who carry the mottle gene, will have some light random spots on their head. I have seen this in my flock - I don’t have any mottled, but I do have at least two mottle carrier hens, and some of their chicks exhibit a light mottled look at hatch...

    Slipped tendon? Please help!

    Thank you so much! What a hopeful story about your little one! That is wonderful! The chick that my friend has seems to have a will to live, so I told her to splint the legs, as I would split with splay legs, so that the leg is brought forward and held in the right spot. I think it will take a...

    Slipped tendon? Please help!

    How did your chick do with treatment? I have a friend who has a chick with a dislocated hip joint right now.

    I know I’m probably going to upset some ppl, but I’m genuinely confused..

    My guess is that those making YouTube videos are using click bait titles to get more views. That seems impossible to me as well. Especially if they are in a contained area or a nest box. My bet would be they are saying it for attention or clicks/likes/views.

    What color is this silkie?

    It kind of depends on what you are hoping for when breeding your birds. If you are going for show quality birds, then you’ll need to study the standard of perfection and breed towards that. But if you are breeding for yourself, or for other people to have beautiful pets, then you should ensure...

    What color is this silkie?

    I believe she is a very cute Mille Fleur Satin Silkie. Lovely!!! 🥰 As for breeding prospect, I am not the expert, but I feel like her tail set could be a little higher, and wings could be tighter. Also you may want to research which colors to breed Mille Fleur to! The only thing I think is that...

    Naturally Hatching Eggs!

    Oh yeah, the fact that she is solid black and none of the others are… will make it more difficult for mom to recognize her as one of her babies. Darn it!

    Naturally Hatching Eggs!

    If there are scabs or blood on the chick, then the mom will probably continue to peck there. Maybe you could take one extra chick from mama to raise with this one inside a brooder. Does the youngest chick look different from the others in color? If not, then you could raise two chicks in the...
