    What color is this silkie? 13 weeks

    Thank you! I have never seen it and she looks so different from my other silkies…. Any idea if she has a mix of something else or is a different type of silkie?

    What color is this silkie? 13 weeks

    The darker one is 13 weeks and seems to be a pullet. But her color is unlike what I’ve seen before. I say she’s dark chocolate with ashiness but my husband says more black/salt n pepper coloring. She is beautiful and tiny and a little skittish. Always has been. Fairly certain she is a girl. But...

    Hen or Roo? Silkie mix… Please help!

    Please help me figure this out. Silkie mix. Hatched May 5 so almost 10 weeks old. Prominent bright red comb, wattles began to appear end of June! I can’t get attached to another roo as I already have to give away 5 in total already 🥹 just gave 2 away last week. It’s been heartbreaking. Not sure...

    Satin 4-6 mos: Pullet or Roo?

    Oh no :( I am scheduled to drive over to pick her up today. This is the only pics I have now. It’s about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic…. I’ll know better once I see her/him. I’ll try to post a pic here when I’m there & hopefully the timing is good and you can take a closer look at a clearer...

    For those who let broody hens raise chicks with the flock…

    How did it go? Do you have any pointers now that you’ve been through it? I have a broody hen who’s first clutch didn’t make it so I will be placing day old chicks from our incubator under her in a day or two….. I have never done this and am not sure how it all works but I’ve had success with...

    Satin 4-6 mos: Pullet or Roo?

    Yey! Hope so. It’s the same pullet. Just a few weeks apart (I think)…. About 4 months old now

    Satin 4-6 mos: Pullet or Roo?

    For those more familiar with satins - would you say this is a young hen or a young roo? About 4-5 months old in the first pic and a few weeks younger in the second pic. These are the best pics I have. Am going to pick this beauty up. The current owner believes it’s a female, but I’m never sure...

    Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

    Mahalo for this. I appreciate your insight. She seems to be adapting well. It’s been a learning curve for sure. I’ve reintroduced her (somewhat) to the group. She is safely separated from the meaner hens by a gate but they can all see/smell/hear one another. She now has her own little nursery...

    Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

    Okay this makes me so sad. I thought it would heal up. I’m so sad bc she is the absolute sweetest and kept everyone in line too. But the younger hens got bigger (and meaner).

    Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

    Thank you! There is no puss or anything obvious at all. No tears either. No swelling. Just closing like it’s irritated. But now it’s also cloudy. I will rinse with saline today after her off-egg moment.

    Should I let my hen hatch or not?

    Oh I’m so sorry 😞

    Cloudy bluish tinged eye, closing it, what is going on?

    My broody hen has been closing one eye and it seems cloudy almost like cataracts. She is just a year old. Does anyone know what it could possibly be? I thought maybe she got something in it and it was just irritated but it’s now looking cloudy and I want to help her. Any questions or advice...
