    Sudden death of Silkie Rooster

    Hi, So this afternoon one of my silkie roosters wasn't looking himself. He was fluffed up and not walking around much. This evening, I went out to find him in the corner with drooping wings and he was breathing heavily. I picked him up and took him outside to check him over. When I put him...

    What colour will these be?

    These are their parents. All have the same father. I really don't think he's a true ameraucana, but that's what I told, his dad was the same colour as him and his mom was black I think. Can you not tell by the colour they are now? The one in the top-middle (group shot) should be partridge...

    What colour will these be?

    These guys are a cross between and ameraucana and white chantecler. Just wondering what they'll look like when they're older. Especially the greyer one on the right in the group shot..

    What was wrong with my young easter-egger?

    Yeah? That does make a lot of sense. Nothing we ever did for her made her better. Thanks for the input.

    What was wrong with my young easter-egger?

    I had an easter egger Suzy (about 4 or 5 months old), she died on Halloween last year and it's been driving me nuts as to what was wrong with her. It was very obvious there was a problem. Her whole short life, she had very ratty looking feathers, always had her wings down, always looked cold and...

    Bearded Silkies- What Gender?

    2:04 is a cockerel, he's been the only one to tell us what he is. So you were definitely right about 1! I hope at least one of the other two is a female.

    Bearded Silkies- What Gender?

    So I've got three 20 week old, buff bearded silkies. I know it's tough to tell the sex of silkies until they crow or lay an egg, but I've put a video on YouTube, with hopes that I could get some input as to what other people think of them. I know one is a rooster for sure because there have...

    Sick 14 week old Silkie

    Oh sorry, it was supposed to be 'week'. Got a little mixed up there. I fixed it. But yeah, it wouldn't make sense to use starter food at that age.

    Sick 14 week old Silkie

    He's all better now! I put apple cider vinegar in his water every day. And now he's looking great!

    Troubled layer

    I would say it would take at around at least 5-6 months. A lot depends on the breed, since some can mature slower than others. So I would think they should start pretty soon.

    Troubled layer

    Chickens are usually mature after 6 months right? So I would think, if she's just starting out, there would be some inconsistency in her laying at the beginning. Maybe she's just getting into the routine. If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless you see other unusual...

    How long will stay "broody" w/o eggs? Will they go "un-broody" on their own?

    My hens have gone broody every now and then. They're like that for a few weeks. But they will come out of it. They'll get up to drink and eat by themselves too. But yeah, she won't need anything special unless you want her to stop within the next couple of days. I'd say give it about another...

    Are these hens safe to buy?

    What breed are they?

    Feeling like a fool - what sex Silkie?

    I would say definitely a pullet. It's usually not accurate if you only look at one characteristic. I think the crest is the most reliable, and the presence of streamers, but if you say it's showing female behaviours too, then even more likely a pullet. I've got silkies that I'm still trying to...
