Im buying chicks from this breeder and i was wondering if the yellow in this chicks beak was normal? will it darker overtime? i would love some opinions
Broken? loose wing? i contacted the breeder and they told me its a loose wing but in october it didnt look like this, not sure of how he couldve broken it and im very worried for him
darker pictures-october lighter pictures- now
how can i help him?
I decided i want to switch my silkie cockerel out for a amerucana cockerel and also add an amerucana pullet to my little flock, will my other 2 silkie pullets be okay with this change?
not a great picture, this is fresh from a bath but would his comb, waddles, and face color be considered a Defect or a DQ?
also just a random extra question is it normal for black silkies to have “blue” skin instead of pure black black?
i got them from transportation 2 days ago and just thought they needed to recover from there trip untill they didnt and 2 started doing this.
the other one recovered but didnt sound as bad ad this one does.
i first started treating with liquid b-12 because i didnt have anything else on hand and...
There both not perfect, but which one would be a better option to keep?
cockerel 1 has horns and his back toes are slightly connected and red-ish waddles
cockerel 2 has this weird red color on his face and red-ish waddles
both don’t have very tight wings
BOTH 18 WEEKS

Does anyone know any silkie breeders that breed these types if silkies?
i believe there called pencil laced satin silkies but im not sure
(Not my photos)
im not sure if this is the right place to put this post, but shed smaller and less fluffier then my others at this age (15weeks)
does she just need time?
is she a runt or something?
her middle toes don't have feathers too
Hey, i got this chick from a silkie breeder back in march and supposedly its a blue silkie but it kind of looks like a splash to me. Any Thoughts on what color she may actually be?
The first photo is when i first got her and the 3 other photos are from different days, angles and lighting.
