I received a message and nice pictures of silkie chickens on Facebook today from Deborah Silkies. Has anyone heard of them or dealt with them? Are they legit? Where are they located? Were you satisfied with what they sent you? Thanks.
I have been looking online for a reputable breeder to sell and ship me two healthy female silkies, a paint and a red, everynight for 2.5 months without any luck. I wish to buy now and not 4 or 5 months from now. I have had no luck whatsoever. How frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know...
In the past week I received about 7 messages from Florida Silkies showing pictures of available chicks. Now, today I saw on line a message that said that Florida Silkies was permanently close, but if that was incorrect to report it. So, what is the truth? Anyone know?
Hello Everybody! :celebrate
I am very curious who everybody believes is THE BEST silkie breeder in the USA!! 🤔 Opinions vary. 🗣️ I understand. But I would love to hear who everyone thinks has the very best show quality silkies. 🏆 Even if you have not bought any silkies from the...
I would like to buy more chickens but can only have 1 more due to County ordinance. I can not decide if I want a Chocolate laced wyandotte or a silver laced one. I know that I can view stock photos of said chickens but often they are enhanced photos. I would like to see realistic pictures...
The idea of mites and lice infecting your flock is so scary. It sounds as if it is easy to become infected and very, very difficult to eliminate it. I guess the best way of dealing with the issue is to implement a preventative measure. So, my question is........ what is the best product to...
I have 4 female silkies: white, splash, dark blue, and buff. They are generally 4-5 months old. I purchased them all from breeders as I thought they may have a better quality than hatcheries. I would like to purchase a nice quality female silkie that is red. Also, with a nice crest and beard...
I have 4 female silkies. They are within 3-5 months of age. Ever since I have had them, they have NEVER slept in their coop at night. Instead, they would always sleep underneath their coop which is elevated nine inches off the ground. Because cold weather is approaching, I want them to always...
Hello. I hope you can help me. I have a friend who wants to raise about 3 chickens but is out of work. Most coops and runs are extremely expensive and he can not afford that. Does anyone know of a company that sells a cheap small coop and run that he could purchase? I am trying to help him...
I might be wrong but I kind of think that my 1 year old buff orpington used to look more golden. Now, she certainly looks and acts healthy. She lays an egg almost every day. But she looks paler than she used to. Again, maybe its me. Is this normal? Is there anything that I can do to make...
I have read many messages from people who have sick chickens. Others tell them to give the chicks some electrolytes. What exactly is that? What is it supposed to do? How much to you give to chicks and also grown hens? How do you administer it? Where do you get it? Is it best to have some...
I am SO FRUSTRATED!!! I have done a google search for two entire days trying to find a breeder or hatchery that will sell me a started or juvenile female silkie that is crested and bearded. I have looked online all over the United States. I sent about 30 emails but no luck!:tongue I prefer...
I had 4 hens. I had a Buff Orpington, a Black Australorp and two white Amberlinks. Last week I saw that only my Orpington was left. Instead, a lot of white feathers were in the run. Also, a lot of white feathers were in my backyard neighbor's yard despite his chain link fence. There were...
Has anyone heard of Backyard Chickies Hatchery? Are they legitimate? What is your opinion of them? Would you recommend them? I am looking to purchase good quality silkies.
I am very curious as to which hatchery is the most respected and beloved. There are so many, and people have various opinions. I would like to hear which hatchery is your favorite, and WHY.
