Can anyone tell me if it is normal for my two young Silkie roosters to be shedding so many feathers. Everyday I go out to the chook pen and there are loads of feathers on the ground, and I am wondering if this is ok, or are they not getting enough of the correct food. I am thinking they are...
I am new to this site and I live on the Sunshine Coast, please let me know where you are so I can contact you, as I really need a Silkie pullet.
Cheers

Ok here is my other delightful Silkie, and it looks just like the other one so I am guessing it is a Rooster also. Can anyone let me know.
Cheers

She/He is 4months old and I would love to know what the sex is. I only have the two silkies and got them as a gift and as wee chicks. I would love to be able to breed with them, but have no idea what they are. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Witchie.
I will do this with the mealworms as I so want to have them tame. I do sit with them and talk to them, and they know my voice so I guess that ils a start. I will check the breeds section and see how I get one.
Thank you for your reply.
Cheers.

I have only just joined BYC and am finding the site wonderful, though a bit daunting as there is so much to see and do.
I only have two silkie chickens, 4months old. I love them both, but would like
to know if I have a Roo and a Hen, I am wishing that is what I have, but I have my doubts...
