    Silkie Chicks

    When I hatch out silkies, I always have some that are born with big "poofs" on their heads. Sorry I don't know what else to call it. Does that mean anything significant.

    Dry incubation???

    I just started a batch of silkie eggs and I read on sundown silkies that they use the dry incubation method. Where you only mist the eggs every few days then increase it only at the last three days. Have any of you used this method and does it sound legit?

    Marek's Disease

    When I got my 4 month old silkie rooster I noticed his eyes were a blue or grey color. It's been about a month and he's still like this. Could he have Marek's disease or could it just be a mutation
