I have a flock of 14 layer hens currently with no rooster. They are fed mainly Dumor Organic Layer Pellets. They do get some grazing time, dried black soldier fly larva, organic veggies from time to time, and I feed back their egg shells to them as well. I usually get my pullets from someone...
I’m now remembering why I don’t buy from this one specific feed store. 😂
The last time they sold me 2 pullets a few years ago I ended up with 2 rooster. I bought 4 pullets recently and I’m wondering now if I’m getting more roosters. 😂 They are about 6 weeks old. Here are my 4 little ones. 💕
Just showing off my adorable little hen. She is a product of my Silkie Rooster Johnny Cash and my Naked Neck Hen June Carter (who has since passed). I’m very surprised with how dark she came out! She has the Silkie toes and black skin, and a walnut type comb. She ended up with her mom’s smooth...
So I’ve been calling my Guinea Fowl “she” since she was a keet just because she has been raised with my layer hens. Lol
Now she, who is named Temperance (Tempy) is 21 weeks old and I have no idea if she is in fact a she or not. She is very quiet for a guinea I’m thinking because she is the only...
I know silkies are really a wait and see for hen or rooster BUT what would y'all's guesses be for this silkie hatched back in February. I have two Roos and I really don’t want to end up with a third but it’s so pretty! 😂
I have a Silkie Roo and I am just curious to know what his color would be called. Is he still considered Blue? I have two blue hens but they are a lot darker than he is.
I have 15 young silkies at the moment. A couple have very obvious wattles and combs coming in already and these chicks are only 4-7 weeks old. Is there a chance these chicks could still be hens?
This little is 5 weeks old.
This is Larvakite. She/He is a 4 month old Silkie. I know it’s early to tell gender and I usually DNA test but I have so many young ones right now so I decided I’m going to play the waiting game. I just thought I’d see what y’all’s opinions are.
Also the other silkie pictured is Onyx a DNA...
I have 2 beautiful hens (sisters) that I love. I have had them since they were 3 days old. They are so sweet and loving and my little shadows when they aren’t in their coop. I’m wondering if they look like a specific breed to y’all? The person I got them from said Jersey Giants but although they...
I have a 3 month old Silkie and a 6 week old showgirl Silkie. I know it’s too early to tell the gender but I thought it would be fun to see what y’all guess. I will be sending out their DNA samples this weekend so I’ll be finding out their genders within the next 2 weeks. 😁
I decided to make a thread to post my Silkie chicks as they continue to grow! 😁💕
Opal (paint) and Onyx (black) are both DNA proven pullets and 6 weeks old. They were both hatched here.
Larvakite is a 2 month old chick who I will be having DNA tested soon. I do believe Larvakite is a Pullet...
Hey y’all! I have a blue paint Silkie Rooster with 4 hens. Two of my hens are Blue, 1 is Buff, and I have 1 white Satin hen with him as well (an offspring of his off a satin hen). 1 of my blue hens is broody along with my buff. I’m pretty sure I know what I can get from my blue hens but what...
Mom is a Satin Hen and Dad is a Silkie Rooster
pictures are from 6 days old to 3 weeks Old
In the group pictures it’s the chick with the grey tint to it.
Incubated my Silkie/Cochin Hen’s first 8 eggs. We had 3 successfully hatch. The rooster is a paint Silkie. Can’t wait to see how these babies turn out!
I have these 2 silkies that are 8 months old. Out of 5, one is a for sure hen and two have been crowing for months now so my question is are these two roosters that just don’t see a need to crow yet or could they possibly be hens?
I have 5 silkies that are 6-7 months old. 1 is definitely a roo he’s always been bigger and now already crowing, 1 I’m pretty sure is a hen, my older roo has started mating her recently plus she has always looked like a hen to me. Then I have 3 that look like in between the two others. Why do...
