The broodiness of silkies is of interest to me. though I've heard it's very hard to sex them. I hope I manege to find some nice girls using the useful info above. 1 tiny question: is it possible to cross breed them?
Thanks!
The legs are feathered. It is much smaller than the usual chicks (bantam?). Its father is probably a Japonset. I'll post more pics when a bit older. Thank you!
Thanks for the response! Well, I can't call the last-minute haphazardly-put-together things for her a brooder. From what I see in your links, mine is superbly inefficient. Will soon get a wooden box. Got the lamp already.
Hi All!
I've got one little lonely chicken (born 20 hrs ago). Do you think it is possible to raise her? Of yes, how? Someone suggested using a mirror. I don't know if it would work. Would appreciate it.
