My rooster is a splash. My hens are a black and a white (she has one black dot on her head, suspected paint project?). These both look blue to me but are different shades...
First pic dad and white mom
Second pic black mom with offspring
Rest of the pics are the offspring
Anyone have an incubator that you cant see inside? I'm borrowing one from a friend and this is the first time I wont be able to tell if theres hatching going on. Do you guys just let it go for a full day then peek inside? I'm so sad I cant watch this one!!
So I ordered some silkie/sizzles on ebay from a beautiful breeder. Hatched 3 of them. 2 have black skin but 1 has yellowish skin? It also doesnt have a pronounced hat on it either like the others. But they ARE silkies. Any explanation to this?
First two pics are of the yellow skinned chick. Te...
Im borrowing my friends incubator pictured below. It wont stop beeping!!!! First it was a humidity now it's high temp. I've literally messed with every setting possible to raise the alarm settings but it's still beeping. Sometimes it wont let me press the settings button to stop the beeping...
Can anyone give me some insight on this silkie male? The first photo is of a male someone needs rehomed. The second photo is of my silkie male. They look quite different. The first one has some very long hard tail feathers.
I have a silly question. Im looking to breed a few of my silkies together. They are currently in with a flock of 30 birds. If I created a separate pen for them, must they be in there at all times? Can I keep them in there during the day and have them in the regular flock coop at night (food...
Here is a maran mix chick.. about 6 weeks. Male or female? It got its red comb very quickly. But my Maran momma was very red early also. Last pic is of momma.
I'm pretty sure number 1 is a roo. But what about number 2 and 3? I'm leaning towards number 2 being a roo too. They're Americana/easter eggers. 8 weeks.
My friend has this gorgeous deep red bird. She was told it's a production red.. but from what I've seen, PR dont have white feathers. She kind of looks like a sexlink but is very dark. Thoughts?
Ok. Silkies seriously confuse me. Help!!
So NONE of my 4 silkies are laying or crowing yet. But in the first photo.. I was told the white splash is a rooster (bright red comb) and the black one is a hen. When I bought them.
The second photo is of mine that I raised from hatch. Based on their...
Hi all! I just hatched a couple bantams. The owner of the eggs said hen was a silkie and roo was a silkie cross. The babies ended up being 1 yellow with darkish yellow skin, 1redish with pink skin, and 1 black with black skin. But all of them have 4 toes. How does the black one have black skin...
I know a lot of you are great at figuring out breeds!! Here are 2 photos of my 7 bantam chicks I got from TSC.. also is it true that long wing feathers and feather on the rump mean pullet? Vs short wings and fuzzy rump means cockerel? I group the photos into those categories. Let me know what...
