Well I got her in April this year as a chick. She has always been very quiet and kind of dose her own thing. I thought that maybe she just was too young but I have had them for a long while now and still nothing. Maybe it's the nesting? She is with my red hens and we converted a old wooden shelf...
New to RIRs I didn't even know I had them! I have silkies I keep as pets and my mother got me some laying hens from my grandfather so we can start getting eggs. I have 2 fairly old golden sex linked hens that give me an egg about 4-5 times a week. I also got 3 chicks with my sex linked that I...
Hello! I have had my 4 silkies for about a year now, I have 3boys and 1girl. I just recently got laying hens and have seperated my one female silkie from her boys because they were constantly beating her up. I have started to feed my laying hens some laying pellets and oyster shells to promote...
Thank you so much!
My hen is black, but I am afraid my black boy isn't full bred silkie. He has some greenish feathers on his rear and wings. Also where would you think I could sell or give away my other two?
Ok so I need some help! When I first got my silkies I got two black and two white. As they have grown and matured I have realized I have 3 boys and 1 girl.. It wouldn't be a problem if my boys wernt so protective and LOUD! Crowing all day non stop! And if I go to pick up my girl they come around...

New to silkies! I got 4little chicks two black and two white. I know there are different colors, but they are starting to get their big feathers in an it's hard to tell. I also don't know wich are girls, and wich are guys? Haha(:
Please help! My week old silkie chick has something wrong with its eye!? At first I thought he got something in it so I tried to see and couldnt find anything. Now his eye won't stop watering, and he seems to keep scratching at it with his leg. His whole side of his face is wet. And it's my...
This is the perfect thread for me!! I just got some chicks. And I think they are adorable!
I show cattle, lambs, and turkeys. So I thought HEY! might as well show silkies! But I don't know where? I live in Texas and our BIGEST livestock show is the Houston rodeo. Do y'all know if silkies show at...
Thanks guys! I really apreciate it!
I saw some dried worms and seed stuff at tractor supply, so do you think I should give them some? Will they try to eat the eat the shaving? Will it hurt them?
Dose anyone know what they are doing!? Every time I turn around my little chicks are kicking the shavings and pecking the floor. They are in a 35gallon tub with plenty of room to roam. Maybe they like to hear the knocking of the plastic?? I have no clue! I have also seen them manny times rubing...
