Figuring that a coyote or dog would get them since they were not...

    Unusual silkie chick?

    Hi, I just had a silkie hatch and a couple of its toes are not totally black. Does this mean it is not 'pure'? I also had a chick I bought a while back whose beak was not totally black. Is this an indicator or anything? Thanks!

Shouldn't they be going all the way around the egg and be out by...

    Inbreeding/linebreeding

    Is there a general rule about how long it can go on? Ie- to improve a certain trait a father rooster can mate with his daughters or sisters. If the practice is continued deformities are bound to happen...or are they? All of my silkies came from one place. I have whites, blacks, blues, and...
