    20 Week Old Paint Silkie Gender Identity Issues

    Hi guys, I have posted about this particular silkie before and I seemingly had already established that it is female with some of your amazingly kind (and helpful!) wisdom. However, I am still perplexed because "she" is not crowing, but is starting to look a but masculine imo. "She" also bites...

    18 Week Old Paint Silkie Gender

    Hi guys, I've waited SO long to ask this question again as (like you've all said) sexing silkies- especially breeder quality silkies- are notoriously difficult. Can you guys help me out now that s/he has feathered out more?

    HELP! Isolating Bullies Together?

    Hi guys, I have a small flock of 10 bantams in an enclosed run (90 ft^2). Three of the bantams are seramas so they take even less space. Unfortunately, my two d'uccle pullets are getting bullied unnecessarily/unwarranted by my mottled cochin and EE bantam, which causes my silkie and green queen...

    Wry Neck/Gaping mouth in 5 week old serama girl

    I'm so sad today. My only pullet out of 4 seramas is exhibiting very strange behavior: she looks bloated and walks disoriented with her breast bone sticking up (like a fantail pidgeon or a true Malaysian serama [even though she is American]). Its almost like she can't use her neck at all, and...

    Has anyone bred a serama rooster over easter egger bantam hens?

    I was wondering if anyone had the outcome of this cross (Serama roo x EE bantam hen): would the resulting female progeny lay colored eggs? I don't want to start a new breed or ever sell these crosses, just keep as a project (and probably keep it F1 generation too).

    Alchemist farm month old silkie roo? Pic heavy

    I know its very early, but I was wondering if someone experienced with silkies can help. He is a paint silkie from alchemist farm, and just so cute and fluffy.

    Green Queen Bantam pullet or cockerel?

    I have an almost 4 week old chick from My Pet Chicken (sourced from Meyer Hatchery in Ohio) that I am unsure which gender or even breed s/he is: the baby is supposed to be a sexed female of their green queen bantam but 1.) It does NOT appear to be bantam (it's super tall and twice the size of...

    Hey guys, I'm about to move onto a rural area for the first time, and I KNOW for fact that raccoons, skunks, and opossums are present.

    Rats eating eggs and two hatchlings??!

    Hi guys, I think I have a rat infestation! I have been dealing with egg eating hens for a month now (and I caught some in the act that's how I know it's them) but this morning I'm not so confident if they are the only one. I have three eggs under a broody silkie and a helping Brahma that were...

    What chicks are these under my Silkie mamma!

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to what breed or cross these might be: my Silkie went broody for the first (and probably not last!) time, so I just let her sit on some eggs and hoped they were fertile. We have a mixed flock, and at the time the eggs were layed, the...

    Found her egg stash!

    OK, so I have two Easter egger hens that are sisters-they look nearly identical but vary slightly by personality and egg color. This is a story about Jumper (the green egg laying ninja hen). After wondering why she hadn't layed her first eggs like her sister, one day I caught her jumping the...
