This is my favourite little naked neck. Im not sure what colour she'll be.
Here is my little blue naked neck.
And this is the unknown black chick.
I was very surprised, as I didn't think any of the eggs would hatch.
I have 2 silkies. A 6mo pullet and a 5mo cockerel. I just got them back from the state fair and put them in a cage together to quarantine them. I was just turning around when I heard a loud noise coming from my pullet. I turned around and thought they were fighting...It took me a while to relies...
I thought it would be fun to enter my silkies in the state fair, not thinking that they would win. I went buy a few days ago and everyone was taking pictures of my chickens. That was really awesome for me, as there were so many other chickens. Then I went by today to see the results of my...
It's official, my family become addicted to chickens. So much so that my father is thinking about buying a small farm and wants to start a poultry farm. What are everyone's thoughts on that? Is it hard to do? He wants to apply for a small business loan. So my questions are...
How hard is it to...
On Saturday, my whole neighbourhood was having a garage sale. I was supposed to sit out side and sell printers...not the most fun thing to do. I was so bored I went out back and got my silkie then went back to the front yard. He was sitting beside me and I was brushing stuff out of his fluff...
I read in a book that once you get a new chicken you have to quarantine it. How exactly does that work? I wanted to get another silkie because they are (in my opinion) the greatest pet in the world. SO if anyone could explain to me how this works that would be great.
Ok I have a 1 month old non frizzled frizzle chick. About two days ago I noticed she is balding. It dosnt look like ring worm because it is not swollen and red. She is behaving normally. What is wrong with her?
I was holding my 2 month old silkie who I think is a boy when I felt something weird on his leg. It was a bump just above its 5th toe. He had one on his other leg too. Are these spurs? And does that mean he is a boy? And my other silkie the same age who I thought was a girl did not have any.
My chickens are refusing to drink. It is 93* outsite and wont touch there water. They are just walking arround with there mouth open. They have plenty of water (watterbottle and bowl) and just wont drink. What is wrong with them?
My 2 2 month old silkies are spending their first night in the coop. When I went out to check on them they were doing the weirdest thing. Poppycock puffed his chest up and pulled his wings back and circled around honeybee. Thin honeybee did the same thing while poppycock was doing it and they...
I was wondering what colour this chick will be. I know nothing about colouring so please help me out. She is a 2 and a half week old frizzle chick. She is black and has yellow markings. Her feathers are just coming in and they seem to be black with white tips. What is that called? And also, how...

3. Are you suppost to groom silkies? if so, how obtain?
