My flock of silkies hated the layer pellets and they had to smash each pellet into the ground to crush up before they are it:/ made me feel bad so now all I feed them is the Crumble and I mix some scratch in with it:) they love it. I would say just try different things and whatever your silkies...
Yep he was on there lol I'll be posting him again because i didn't get any responses as to what others think his color may be, I think you're right tho maybe or most likely he'll be a shade of blue lol I love splash! One day I'll have a splash pen:) thank you for your responses:)
Oh My!! Your babies are ADORABLE!!! love them! We all hope for them to be girls and I love any type of splash :DI have one little guy that I'm not sure what color he will end up, he has baffled me lol he is only 3 1/2 wks old here he is, meet Smidge...
Your "blue" chick may be a splash as well and your cream colored one may be a Porcelain...I'm no pro but most all of the chicks I hatch are blue as adults and they do not look like your little one as chicks:] hope that helps :)
Oh wait:/ I believe they are called Silkie Show girls actually and not naked necks right? I don't really know haha all I know is that she is a Silkie w a naked neck :) and I wonder...can they get sunburned? I saw some little skin peeling from her tiny neck today lol
I hatched my little naked neck out from an egg I purchased from a breeder in Santa Clarita, Ca, to get naked necks I suppose you cross a Silkie with a Turken (a naked necked breed of chicken)and you are left with a Silkie with a naked neck lol I'm not familiar with the breed at all, this little...
This is my little runt named Smidge, he is 3 wks old already, can any of you guess what color he may end up?? His dad is a Porcelain Silkie and his mom is a pure black Silkie. He's a creamier color than my grey/black chicks that I have(they will be Blue/grey as adults...
And this is a pic of my...
Congrats on your first hatch:)! Your babies are so cute:) The chicks I have are 3 pure silks 1 tiny naked neck, 2 barred rock americauna mixes and 3 americauna Silkie mixes. They all are completely different sizes and all hatched a day apart from each other:) they all live together in an outside...
Thank you:) lol he just came out of his tiny egg and I said aww it's a little Smidge and it just stuck:) love the name Smudge too:) I received my showgirl egg from a breeder in Santa Clarita Ca and Smidge the grey one is from my chickens, I usually hatch out chicks that turn into Blue grey...
I'm familiar with the color blue splash but this rooster has very dark black splotches and patches all over so does that mean he would be considered a different color altogether? And if I breed him to my black hen, according to the blue chart they would just hatch out blue babies? :D just curious
first time outside today:} it was adorable to watch:> I'm officially obsessed! Haha. Our rooster was on high guard! Even sounded the alarm when the shadow of a big butterfly was overhead lol!!
