    Elusive Mites??

    Good morning I’ve had an issue with my flock for awhile now. They constantly shake their heads. It’s like a quick shake, say, like you would to shake your hair out of your eyes. They also constantly scratch their heads. They have lost feathers ALL summer, like they are molting. They have a good...

    Day 18...Air Cell??

    Hi everyone. Well this is day 18 with my Polish eggs. I’m worried about the air cell. These pics are the same egg. Do they look ok? And the bottom isn’t filled. All the Polish eggs look the same and are viable. I have some Silkie eggs in the same incubator but they fill the bottom of their eggs...

    Help! Pullet Tries To Lay First Egg...But Membrane Is Surrounding It?!

    OMG! I just went through the strangest thing with my silkie pullet. She is 5 months old and laid her first egg. The problem is that the egg was surrounded by a very thin membrane, which was attached to her. The egg was right snug to her vent, being held by this membrane. Very thin and slightly...

    My Crazy Polish Pullet

    This photo makes me laugh when I look at it. It depicts her personality to a "T". I have a flock of Silkies and my one Polish. They are all calm and she is a spaz. I just love her. I didn't know what I would think of the Polish breed but because of her, I'm sold on them. I'm getting more...

    Wry Neck with my Silkies...Again!

    So I've now had three silkie chicks get wry neck this summer. The two in my blue, black, splash pen...I started to wonder if it was genetic. Then this past Monday my two month old rooster in my other coop wound up with it. He is Partridge, completely different line. He is in a coop with only his...

    What Color are These Silkies?

    Hi everyone I wanted to start a partridge pen, so a lady in town gave me this pair. I think they are around eight weeks old. The pullet looks more porcelain to me (love porcelain). And the little roo...his crest turned so red that one morning I thought his head was bleeding. It was just his...

    Silkie Gender at 12 Weeks?

    HI everyone These are my 12 week old beauties. For the life of me, i cannot figure out if they are Roos or pullets. I think the only hen is the black (or very dark blue) one. It's the pic of her by herself. The pic of the black with the splash is a different bird, that I think is a rooster. Any...

    New partridge silkie babies!

    Here are a few pics of our adorable babies. Two hens were on eggs and the one hen kept kicking the poor newborns out of the nest as they hatched! We saved all but one. One has splayed legs and is in our brooder in the house, walking now with her splint. :) The first pic is of a baby that...
