I bought four call ducklings and this one has eye problems. The seller didn't tell me that until after I had agreed to buy them, then I felt sorry for the poor little thing and brought it home with the other three. Seems to be completely blind? What could be the problem and is there anything I...
I've got two Silkie roosters and 3 Silkie hens. Barnaby is black with gold and silver leakage, Julian is dark blue with a little red leakage. Esme is white, Glitter is splash, and Chiffon is porcelain. I've hatched a bunch of chicks recently and got blacks, whites, blues, grey, partridges, and...
I have 2 silkie roosters, 3 silkie hens, and 2 hens that are half silkie and half cochin. Those two are smooth feathered. What will the chicks look like that are 3/4 silkie? Will they be silkie feathered? Thanks!
Thanks Wyorp Rock and Aunt Angus! She seems to be fine now! I don't know why, because I didn't do anything but separate her from the others and wipe her eyes. I thought she might die she looked so bad and then in a couple hours, she's fine. I don't understand at all! :idunno
But I'm so happy...
My 7 month old buff silkie, Chiffon, is sick this morning. She seemed fine last night. She has yellow mucus in her nostrils and her eyes seem stuck shut with dried mucus. I washed them gently with a warm cloth, but she still can't/won't open them. I can't get her to eat or drink, but she is...
I've got a hen that lays olive eggs, part Marans I think because of the feathers on her legs. I was wondering what color eggs her offspring would lay if she was crossed with a rooster from a white egg breed? (I almost typed "if the rooster lays white eggs, lol)
I know to have an olive egg, she...
I just got a beautiful bantam black Crevecoeur rooster. If I put him with my silkie hens, what would the offspring look like. I assume they would have a Crest? My silkies are buff, white, blue, and splash. Thanks!
If she is a blue cream and I put her with a buff roo, what would the babies look like. That might settle the debate! :thumbsup
*Edited because auto correct is a jerk...
I bought her from a lady who said she had bought them at Tractor Supply. I didn't mean to get an argument started! If I breed her, it will just be for more pet Silkies. I'm not going to sell or show them, so the color is really not that important. I was just curious. Please don't fight...
@HuffleClaw, so if I breed this hen will she produce chicks the same as if she was a "normal" buff? The genetics are the same, aren't they? :confused: I'm not that great with genetics, but want to learn. I appreciate your help!:bow
