Please can someone help me. I have posted this a few times without a reply.
Can someone tell me what colors I have here. moms were buff and white and dad was white. Genertics are tricky, so I am not sure.
No, they stay in the coop and pen, but I let them out every night for awhile when I can watch them. The dog house is actually for our goats. He is really cute and finding his maleness, starting to flirt with the girls. The big girls are beating him down!

Do silkies mature more slowly than every other hen I have the very same age???? Lol. I have 6 months silkies that are not laying. Seriously, do they tend to take longer?
It seems we are on a young male coyotes way home from his nightly party route and the chickens have now been spotted. The dobermans usually keep them away from the fence, but my male has Vally Fever and has been spending a lot of time sleeping. my Dob girl just can not keep the perimeter...
It does look like she has sores on the bottom of her feet, as well as having the living day lights pecked out of her before we got her...she is quarantined now. I soaked her feet tonight is Epsom salts and warm water and she fell asleep...lol. My husband asked what color she picked for her toe...
