Hello. So I know this is going to be really obvious for you guys, but I typically only have silkies and Cornish so I'm not such an expert at this. These are my Easter Egger whatever chicks. They are about 11 weeks old or so. Soooo do I have a boy and a girl or what??
Beautiful rooster hatched Easter morning. His mommy is polish, and his daddy is a silkie so he has an extra toe. He is a sweet bird; my three year old can catch and handle him with no trouble. I would love to keep him, but can't have another rooster.
I can meet you in parts of West Virginia...
I had two chicks hatch about 1 1/2 weeks ago. The daddy of both of then is a silkie (my only rooster). The possible mothers are bantam cochins or a silkie. So, both are at least 1/2 silkie. My questions: how and how early can you tell if the chick is going to be silkie?? What do you look...
I had 4 eggs hatch and I'm not too sure who the mommy is (not that it matters). They are 3 weeks old. Anyway, the daddy is my silkie Kevin. The babies could all be from different moms. Any guesses on what these little ones will look like when the get bigger?? Silkie?? Coloring??
Guess I...
My eggs will be going in the incubator tomorrw! Its the first set to be hatched from my chickens. I actually have a foster mom for them. My friend is hatching them as a project for her children, but the babies will end up back at my house. I'm soo excited to see my little ones. I'm not sure...
So, I just had to dig through 12+ inches of snow to feed and water my birds. We covered their run with plastic so there is no snow in there. I can't wait to see if they actually venture out of the run into the snow. I made them a nice path around their pen for them.
Anyone's birds enjoying...
I finally got an egg this weekend!! Actually, I got two! I was just soo excited I had to tell someone. I don't think my facebook friends really care I've been waiting and waiting. Not sure which bird they are from, but oh well. Maybe the other two girls will start soon.
Thanks for...

I'm looking to get two silkies of some sort. I want 2 hens that are between the ages of 12 and 24 months. Basically, I want young hens, but do not want little chicks. I want to pick them up, so I'm looking for something in northern Virginia, the panhandle of Western Virginia, or Western...
So, I have two chickens who had very bad lice when they were very young, and it wasn't caught until they were very near death. The chickens were treated & nursed to health. This was about two months ago, and other than being half the size of the others their age, they are fine now. Their...
