Hello! I have this silkie hen (she doesn’t really look like a hen because she has no crest, but she does lay eggs!) and I have always just assumed she was a sun bleached black.

I have 10 silkie eggs in an incubator. 1 hatched yesterday which was day 19. 1 hatched early this morning. Day 21 is tomorrow. My question is how long can I leave the hatched chickens in the incubator waiting for the others to hatch? I don’t want to open it and risk the other eggs.

At what point does wry neck, likely caused by an injury, become irreversible? We discovered our silkie in this condition early today. We've been giving her vitamin E and egg, but she's immobile, lying on her side, kicking in the air, with her eyes fluttering and neck curled under. When we hold...

I got this chicken a couple months ago, with three other silkies. She has black feet, a black beak, and five toes. When she was younger she looked exactly the same as the silkies, and then lost the fluff. Until 2 months ago she had fluff on her neck as well. Does anyone have a chicken similar to...

Ok…first of all, don’t buy silkies from Hoover because they don’t seem to be at all “correct”. Granted, I impulse bought 4 chicks from my local Runnings and I only want them as pets, but c’mon… At six weeks…Three are mostly silkie-like. One has four toes, two have straight combs coming in, one...
