I have two young silkies and I noticed them acting lethargic and relished it was 91 degrees and they are five weeks old. Then I saw some bloody poop. This is my first time owning silkies ever and the first time in a long time owning chickens. What could this be.

...wiped, not pull, the poop away. One piece was so hardened, I cut it off with scissors. I was so nervous, but it turned out ok. (The black silkie) This is my other pasty butt, a white silkie. Her vent is cleared but I couldn't get this stuff under her vent off. I blow dried her and noticed it...

Hi everyone! Instead of vaccination is there a natural way I can prevent my silkies from getting mareks disease? Something I can put in their water or a type of food? I just wanted some information since I can’t find any online.

Breeder said he’s “pretty sure” this is a pullet. It’s a silkie mixed with a satin I THINK. I’m thinking roo 😂 what about you?

I have hatched a showgirl silkie chick that will be raised with old English bantam chicks. We started out with 6 naked neck silkie eggs and ended up with only one hatching. That being said, I was surprised by her markings. What color would you think this little one is going to be? Thanks...

Butter and Scotch are approximately six weeks old. I know it's probably too soon to tell but just curious your thoughts on pullet or roo for the heck of it. I did go ahead and order gender testing for them. The one that has me thrown off is the single comb. Pretty sure the other is a boy. I also...

Need a home for two corn-fed Silkie Roosters. They are brothers and are in need of a coop with hens. I am getting ready to travel and am looking for a home for them, hopefully with someone who loves to raise Silkies. I am in San Antonio, Texas.

Hello, New to community but have been reading tips for a while. We started hatching Silkie eggs a few months back and have had two good hatches in an incubator. We are now doing our third batch but things arn't going the same. For the first two, they pipped and zipped and hatched very quickly on...

hi! I’m on day 21 with 6 silkies, 3 pipped earlier today and are chirping and moving, the other 3 are still rocking but no pips. 2 of the 3 pips are facing downwards, is this okay? They're within the air sac, just facing the floor of the incubator, I can’t get any good pics.

Hey guys! I bought this silkie mix from Rural King. It is the grey one in the photos. I bought her/him the day after I bought my other chicks. She/he is around 3 weeks old. It is way smaller than my other chicks. Rural king could not tell me how old any of the chicks were. I am pretty sure my...

I have been collecting what looks like a silkie egg in size and colour steady for the last several weeks. However I do not have a silkie hen. I did hatch a batch of eggs last fall and I have a Silkie Roo as well as an EE Roo is it possible one of the hens from this batch was sired by the silkie...

I have 4… 8-9 month old silkies with scaly leg mites and I can’t find the proper dosage for ivermectin pour on anywhere. I posted on Facebook and one person commented and said a few drops per bird. Is this correct? I don’t want to overdose my chickens.

I am 100% new to silkies and have so many questions. I can't be the only one 🤷‍♀️ So if anyone has silkie questions please feel free to add them to this thread. So I will start by asking, are there different body styles for silkies? I have 2 sets of silkie chicks about a week apart in age, so 1...
