I have a silkie chick that has become lethargic but the only symptom I can see is his left eye is shut, it’s like he can’t open it. So I seperated immediately.
Today I came outside and my black silkie hen has her eye shut and it’s kind of swollen and cloudy. There is some Grey gunk on it. But...
I have two silkie chicks that are almost 12 weeks old. One paint (marked A) and a grey/splash (marked B). What are your guesses at gender? I’m think both girls.
I have a 2 month old paint silkie frizzle I guess? Not for sure what to call him/her. What do you guys think it is?
The little one next to him/her was hatched the same day. I’m not for sure why that one is smaller.
I have hatched out some chicks.
I have a Salmon Faverolle roo who I paired with an Olive Egger and a Cream Legbar. Would these babies be Easter Eggers?
I have three chicks, marked 1,2 and 3 in the photos. I think 1 is a hen and 2 and 3 are cockerels. What do you all think? They are about 7-8 weeks old now.
1 and 3 are purebred large fowl Cochins. 2 is a EE and Large Fowl Cochin cross.
Thanks!
It is now day 22, I have two silkie eggs in the incubator. Last night I could see them wiggling and hear them chirping today there is nothing. Are they gone? What should I do?
This is my first time hatching silkies and I’m freaking out.
I have the most wonderful rooster but he crows SO loud. He was waking us and our neighbors up at 5 am every morning so I brought him in the house until the shed was finished converting into a chicken coop. It’s brick and insulated, the best part is attached to my house. This morning while he was...
Is this lavender hen an Araucana? The lady I got her from said she was.
Also, what would the offspring look like if I breed her to my Salmon Faverolle cockerel?
Thanks!❤️
I’m wanting o start breeding programs. So far I’m wanting to breed silkies, Lavender Orpingtons and Black Copper Marans. Any others I should look into? Thanks!
A hatchery is helping to create a new breed (I guess) they are calling it a peppermint ameraucana. What breed (crosses) do you guys think went into making this chicken? Seriously y’all. I need one. ASAP.
I have a Salmon Faverolle rooster, he is almost 8 months old. I’ve posted this before and everyone said to wait a few more months.... we’ll 3 months later and he still doesn’t crow (I supposed that’s a good thing) but he also doesn’t make any chicken noises. I think he may have just noticed the...
My husband finally let me get some silkies! A co worker of mine is moving and can’t take his flock with him, he has a black hen and a brown one! I’m so excited as this is my first time ever owning them. Any tips?
HELP. I have two eggs that the chicks pipped at the pointed end rather than the fat end where the air sac is located. Will I need assist? Or will they hatch fine?
Thank you!
It’s day 18 for the eggs at my house, I currently have 10 all showing signs of life. However my incubator lid came off and I didn’t notice for about an hour. The temperature had dropped to 29 instead of the usual 38. When I realized what happened the eggs were cold/little warm. Did I lose my eggs?
