Hi guys, I've been breeding and selling chooks for 3 years now.
On Saturday a couple came and picked up 2 - 5 month old Silkies from me, today (Wednesday) they have sent me a message saying 1 has died.
I have not had a death here in about 6 months or have a had someone tell me this happened...
Hi, I am currently away on holidays and my pet sitter has just messaged me a photo of a baby Silkie who looks as though she has a skin tag on her bottom eyelid.

Hey everyone, I have some 4 week old silkies, parents are a blue roo over splash hens.
Out of the 8 chicks from this hatch I have 2 that are solid white, a few of their siblings have already gotten their splash colouring. I'm just wondering if it's possible that these two will stay white, or...
Hey, I have someone coming to collect roosters from me tomorrow, want to make sure I've rounded up all my suspected Roos.

Hi guys, I've recently just brought a new rooster into my flock, he is a Silkie around 6-7 months old.

Hey everyone, a few months ago I bought a trio of white silkies, after I got them home I noticed that they all had 1 of their toe nails on each foot was upside down, would this be a bad idea to breed them?
Hey, I have a 2.5 yo Brinsea 56 EX that has been used a handful of times, I've just gone to clean it out and it seems like the screws in the lid have seized to the plastic, I'm only able to get 1 of 8 screws out...
