Hello everyone! Connor here!
Completely redid my BYC page.
I raise blue, splash, and white show silkies, along with some other breeds(hopefully some bantam cochins in the near future) I am all about poultry and have always been fascinated with birds since I was little. I recently got into...
es, but i have 4 silkies.
(Popcorn)(Roo)-4 toes on each foot
(Sal)(Roo)-4 toes on one foot, 5 on the other.
Cinn(Hen)- 5 toes on both feet
Rootbeer(Hen)- 4 toes on one foot, 5 on the other.
All purchased from the same place. Same time.
... I wonder what the parents looked like
I'm betting on...
I would try and find a breeder nearby. Don't know what you'll get unless you see the bird in person. But $10 for those birds isn't bad in my opinion. But if you are looking for really good birds, they will cost a lot more. My birds cost $15 each at 3 weeks old and those are $10 each and look...
Hmm this is interesting, I forgot it was accepted! Oh well, don't think anyone near us has any, so anyone know how to maybe get some "gray colored birds" through crossbreeding? I know they aren't true gray birds and the breeding results can vary, but she wants pretty crosses. She has red, buff...
Ok, i have a friend who is not yet a BYC member(I think I have convinced her to join ) She really wants to breed some gray silkies, but doesn't know what colors to cross to get gray birds. I don't know anything about gray silkies, I just raise accepted colors right now. Thank for advice...
Sorry, but my silkie roosters love to get into crowing contests. They aren't as loud as my Brahma roosters, but I can hear them from the house when I am outside and their run in about 50 yards away. However, I think some silkies are quieter than others so maybe you will end up with quiet...
Ok, where do I buy ivomec? the oral kind of course. Will my feed store carry it? The reason is because my silkie roosters look like they are showing signs of scaly leg mites and i tried putting vaseline on their legs, but I can't get to the scales under the feathers on their feet. Which means...
one of my brahmas laid her first egg today! Oh my gosh, she wouldn't shut up this morning, squawking and squawking really loud sounding like she was being attack by something! She was like this for about two hours and FINALLY laid an egg Was very happy, even though I am selling her tomorrow....
