Can someone please help us identify these 6 ducklings from Tractor Supply. The workers told us they came in a bin that just said “assorted” and they didn’t know what they were. Any help? Sharing pics of 3 that look alike… another 2 that look the same and 1 that looks darker

Hi everyone! I noticed the first time I candled my Silkie eggs that this one looked different. I believe the air cell is detached or just abnormally large and I assumed the chick would at some point stop growing. But it never did… so I kept the chick in the incubator. Now we are on day 19 and...

Hi everyone! I’m in the beginning stages of starting up a Silkie breeding program to sell hatching eggs. 😊 I currently have two very handsome bearded white Roos, 2 white hens, a partridge hen, a black hen and two blue hens. I’m researching genetics and from my understanding... I can’t mix all...

Hi everyone! I’ve been a chicken owner for about 5 years now. I have about 40 chickens, all different breeds. I’ve been researching a good way to make $ off these chickens (so they can finally earn their keep... selling eggs for eating isn’t cutting it 😆) I’m very interested in selling Silkie...

My Swedish Flower Hen, Flora (orange and white) hasn’t been herself this week. She appears to be healthy and alert....she has an appetite and I watch her make her way to food and water each day. She will lay down by the water/food and eat/drink while sitting. She’s constantly sitting and her...

Someone is looking to rehome this pretty chicken and I’m hoping to be her(?) new home. Owner says chicken is not sexed and is 17 weeks old. Looks like a female to me, but I’m not sure....so... what gender and breed? Thanks!!

This is Becky. She was being kept in a dog crate in a basement for the past 7 months. Her previous owner’s didn’t know what to do bc her other larger chickens were extremely aggressive towards Becky and so she was kept separated from them for her own protection. I saw a picture of her and...

Hi all! My friend is a teacher and hatched these chicks in her class. She just found out the farm she planned on giving them to will eventually kill them. She’s now looking to rehome but was curious about gender and breed. They hatched on May 27th and are about 4 weeks old. I know the white...

My sweet Polish bantam hen was perfect yesterday and just noticed today she was standing off to herself. I picked her up and saw this!! Looks like something coming out of her vent. Please help! What is wrong with her and what can I do to help her?

Hi everyone, just incubated and hatched two Silkie/Polish cross chicks. One hatched early this morning and the other just hatched about 2 hours ago. So the chick is brand new...but should her legs be straight back like that? I’m new to this so don’t know exactly what to expect. I know she needs...

I got these 6 chicks from My Pet Chicken. They are just about 4 weeks old. They are so cute... growing fast and very healthy! I’m not very experienced with determining gender. I just want to be sure I got what I paid for...all females. Anyone want to help and make sure they are all girls? (Or...

Some of my babies are here! (Two more on the way) Dad is an orange/red Polish Silkie cross shown in pic...the mamas (also shown in pics) are black and paint silkies. One chick looks just like her paint mama, and doesn’t even look like a cross. (as of now) The others look more like a brown/black...

Hi all!! I have two broody silkies...a black and a paint. I gave them a few fertilized eggs to sit on....(from my white, paint, and black girls) Pancake is the Daddy. He’s a handsome Polish Silkie cross. (See pic below) What colors should I expect? Also, if Dad is 50% Polish and 50% Silkie and...

Hi all! I’m relatively new to chickens... I got my silkies last spring as chicks so I never hatched any babies of my own. I have a very broody Silkie and I finally decided to let her sit on some eggs. Every day I go out there and she’s usually sitting on a few that I take from her and it’s got...

Hi everyone! So I have 2 silkie chicks that I’ve posted on here before. One started crowing last week...so...it’s a boy! I’m still not sure about this one. I’ve posted it’s pic before and always get mixed guesses. Now that she/he is 16 weeks maybe some people could respond with more confidence...

Hi everyone. I have a young Silkie Polish Cross who I’ve been treating for wry neck. (Vitamin E, selenium, poly vi sol drops, Nutri Drench and prednisone) Nothing seemed to be helping and the weather was freezing so I made the decision to bring “Birdy” in the warm house while I attempt to nurse...

These are my friend's two white silkies who are about 15 weeks old. I've previously posted with pics of my two silkies that we got at the same time from the same breeder. Now she's curious what gender she may have. What do we think??

Hi everyone!! :frow I posted a few weeks back and now I'm posting again with some updated pictures. Hoping some of you experienced silkie owners could take another good guess at what I've got! The two white silkies are about 13 weeks and the little partridge is 7 1/2 weeks old. (I know... too...

Hi...looking for some opinions/advice. I'm new to chickens and just trying to understand the whole pecking order. Last week my black silkie Fern was injured from an attack. (She's about 7 months old. Has never laid an egg but also has never crowed.) She had blood and missing feathers on head and...

Alright everyone.... I know Silkies are tough to sex but I figured I'd make collages with a bunch of different angles and see if any "experts" out there could give me a good guess. They are both about 8 weeks old. The chick in the first collage with the bigger poof of feathers on its head has a...
