Hello, I need to re-home my pair of buff silkies:( It is one male and one female. The male isn't a huge fan of their roommate and I think they'd like to just be together. They're super sweet. No shipping but we can work something out. Let me know ASAP!

This one is very sad for me, I am struggling to part with one of my favorite chicks: my Dutch Bantam Rooster who is about 2 1/2 months old. He has been quite the snuggler from day 1 and he would do great with kids:) I can't keep roosters so I have to find him a good home. Please let me know if...
I have a 2 1/2 (approximately) old Silver Laced Polish Rooster who I have hand-raised and pampered since the day I got him, but unfortunately I am not able to keep him:( He is beautiful, healthy and pretty quirky with his "side swept" crest of feathers:) PLEASE let me know if you can take him! I...
Hello!
I have a super sweet rooster who I desperately want to keep, but I would need to have him caponized. Anyone aware of someone in PA who does a reputable job? Obviously lots of farmers in my area who I'm sure could, but worried about the safety and stuff like that. Please let me know!!!!!!
Hey everyone!!! Today my mom and I picked up six assorted bantams from our local Tractor Supply. I already know two are buff silkies, but could you help with the other four?
I don't know where they get their chicks from, but maybe I could find out if need be. I just want to know what our babies...
Hello all! Thanks for taking the time to check this out. Next year I'll be up at a summer camp/ranch that my cousins live at, and they said I could donate some chickens!!! This means I could get a rooster and whatever breed(s) I want!!!!:D Well I am looking for a good free ranger, very friendly...
I received 15 chicks from My Pet Chicken on Wednesday. One died in transit which was sad but expected. That night, a buff orpington, a Silkie, and a Cochin died. Today another Silkie died, and four are not looking good. The last two Easter Eggers, a Mille Fleur, and the other Cochin. They have...
Hey everyone! In advance I do want to say I've checked out other threads on this, but I'd like to explain my particular case and hope you can help! I brought my two girls inside due to the horrible cold these past few days, and one of them has been sneezing every once in awhile. I've watched her...
Help someone!! I have two hens out in my coop, both with average sized single combs. The windchill is supposed to get down to -20ish. Their coop is warmer without much of a draft at all, if any, but their combs are looking a little pale and maybe discolored at the tips. I know you're not really...
This past Sunday I got my first egg!!!!:) I just got my two girls (who were already mostly grown) about a month or so ago, and now they're laying!!!:) It's so exciting and one of them has laid each day:) So proud of my sweeties<3
Hey everyone!
I only have two girls right now, bantams with feathered feet, would getting several Silkies be a bad idea for them? They're both really sweet girls, they do like to be "in charge" but there isn't really a pecking order that I've seen in the recent weeks. Originally one of them...
I have two gorgeous girls from a friend's farm, they aren't any breed in particular, just a bunch mixed together:) Do you have any crazy mixes? Let's let 'em shine here!! Post pictures and stories, whatever you want!
Hello everyone! I joined this site a couple weeks ago, and originally I had (what I thought was) two young pullets. They actually turned out to be roosters (thank you for helping me identify them!), so I gave them back to my friend and got three older hens instead. One was a bully and very loud...
Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I am getting some new chicks (happy birthday to me!!!), and I was wondering what your choice would be between Mottled Cochin Bantams or Silkie Bantams. Both look great. I'm looking for just a small backyard flock (3 or 4) with friendly hens who like...
Hello everyone!!:) Well I've wanted chickens for several years now, and was surprised with two young ones for my birthday!! Best birthday ever!!!! I wondered also if anyone could help me identify at least one of their major breeds, they're from my friend's farm so they are very mixed I'm sure...
