    ISO breeder of non-standard silkie colors

    Hi! I'm looking for reputable breeders of non-standard silkie colors (no white, black, blue, splash, paint, partridge please!) that ships eggs this time of year? I'd prefer if I could get more than one color from the same breeder if possible. Who has what this time of year? Thanks!

    Ayam Cemani - one is obviously a male, but what is the other?

    Hi! Ayam Cemani, 11 weeks of age. The left one is a cockerel, there's no doubt about that. He crows, and his comb/wattles are quite prominent. The one to the right, however, has me perplexed, and I have several like it. Out of about a dozen birds, 4 are very obviously male (and have been for a...

    8-week old Ayam Cemani comb, normal? And what gender?

    Hi - I've noticed that some of my Ayam Cemani chicks have a gap in their comb. Fully black, oyster tongue, from good quality stock. There are no side sprigs. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Does anyone know what causes it? And is this 8-week old a pullet or a cockerel? Thanks!

    Wobbly head, spinning in circles

    Hi - I have two silkie chicks that are showing odd symptoms. Chick #1 is almost 8 weeks old - for about 10 days now, its head is wobbly, spinning a bit to the side, a little unstable on its feet when it happens but otherwise good, almost like it has bouts of vertigo/dizziness. These bouts happen...

    Ayam Cemani X Svarthöna (Swedish black hen)?

    Hi - Has anyone ever heard of an Ayam Cemani crossed with Svarthöna, to try to add diversity to the breed once bred back to Ayam? It seems, at least in Canada, that many Ayams look like Svarts (Ayams that have more of a traditional chicken-type body, not really gamey) so I'm thinking quite a few...

    Failure to thrive in a 5 week old silkie

    Hi - I hatched 3 silkies almost 6 weeks ago. Two are doing great while the third, one that I had to help during hatch, has always been behind its siblings. Right now they're twice its size and are growing their adult "fluff" nicely, while this little one seems to struggle with feather growth...

    Lavender to Splash Orpington - who's done it, and what were the results?

    Hi! I just got a dozen of lavender X splash orpington eggs, setting them in the incubator tomorrow. I'm finding it hard to figure out which color the chicks might be - the breeder showed me chicks she had from the same mix and they looked lavender to me, definitely not black, but her birds are...

    Who's who?

    Hi - I hatched a few different breeds/varieties of chicks in the same incubator, and now I'm stuck guessing who's who. Here are the breeds I purchased (at least what I was told eggs were from): - Black ameraucana (black hens with WBW roo) - WBW ameraucana - Lavender Orpington This is my first...

    Black ameraucana hens with blue wheaten rooster - blue chicks?

    Hi, I have some eggs hatching as I'm typing this, from a few breeds (lavender Orps, Faverolles, WBW Ameraucanas, black Ameraucanas, Silkies). I'm able to identify the WBW, Lavender orps, silkies and Faverolles which are mostly yellow chicks. The ones that have me stumped come from black...

    Favaucana?

    Hi, I bought some hatching eggs recently - the hens are purebred WBW ameraucanas and purebred Faverolles, and all were covered by four different purebred roosters - Two blue wheaten ameraucanas, one wheaten ameraucana and one salmon Faverolles. My question is - will those fertilized by the...

    Incubation success rates - difference between refrigerated and fresh?

    Hi everyone! I'm going through my very first quail egg incubation - we're on day 4 or 5. I'm not sure if the day they went in the bator counts as 0 or 1, but they went in around noon on August 11th. I've candled the lot of 42 we have in there tonight - I was able to see really good veining on...
