Hi,
I have a splash silkie from show lines but I know just because the parents are show lines doesn’t mean the offspring is. I also know that not all show birds throw show quality chicks.
My splash silkie is 3 months old and she’s still feathering in some. I’ve read a lot on the silkie...
I’m always bird watching. As repetitive as they are, for some reason I find myself watching them for hours on the weekends and really look forward to it. I love talking pictures of them. And every now and then I get these funny silkie “pants” pictures. For example, in this pic it looks like my...
This is my 3rd (and updated post) for my same bird, Birdie. My older threads were long and when I update them people didn’t tend to check so I figured I’d make a new thread.
Birdie facts
-She’s a Sumatra
-5 months old
-My younger silkie (Fifi) whom Birdie grew up started crowing about 2 weeks...
This is Sparkles, my little splash silkie. Her breeder attached a wing band as a form of ID on her. The breeder said I can either remove it or keep it on her.

Hey guys, I posted a while ago about my splash Sumatra chick, Birdie. Since then Birdie has grown up quiet a bit so I’m wanting to know what you guys think Birdie is (pullet or roo) since she’s matured a little. Birdie is a little over 3 months now so I’m hoping it’s obvious.
Please excuse the...
Hi,
I’m part of a lot of forums. Kind of a forum junkie but this one by far has the nicest users which makes me love it even more (so thank you!). I know....silkies are notorious for being hard to sex. But I’m getting a little nervous soo early on! My Fifi is a little over 5 weeks old. Sheep...
Hi guys, first off I meant to make my username Birdie (the name of my first chick) but my phone autocorrected it without me noticing. Anyho, I’m brand new to raising chicks. I’ve spent countless hours on this forum though and have learned a ton! So thank you! I have 2 chicks, Birdie and Fifi...
