Hi, I have this silkie pullet and I don't know if it’s worth breeding her to this chocolate rooster. He is my only somewhat compatible color rooster. But he is not as good quality as she and I don’t know if the babies will turn out good. They are both 4 months old. Also what color the babies...
Hi I hatched some silkie chicks from bought eggs and I don’t know what color is one of the chicks. I thought it was blue but it has more of a brown undertone. I can’t really find this color online. Also it was completely white when it hatched.
Hi, I just finished my second incubation but it was a fail. Only 3 out of 23 eggs started to develop, one died around day 10 the rest was living when I last cancelled on day 18 but didn't hatch. I kept the humidity at 30-40 during the first 18 days then I increased it to 60-65. All of the eggs...
Hi, 2 weeks ago I put in the incubator 23 shipped silkie eggs but only 6 started to develop. When I candled on day 7 it looked like 3 died early with blood ring. Now I candled on day 11 and another chick died but it was pretty developed now I'm left with two but those may die too. I don't know...
Hi 3 months ago I hatched some silkie chicks in the incubator from shipped eggs and 2 out of 4 chicks developed crooked toes over time. It was my first time raising chicks without a broody hen and I don't know if it was genetic or cos I was using a heating plate and their feet got cold? Also...
HI I want to create calico silkies splash with red leakage I already have a splash hen but she has just a little bit of leakage and I was wondering If I mix her with this black rooster and her baby back to her will I get more leakage or should I try a different method?
Last year I bought some silkie hatching eggs from a breeder but the birds that hatch from them were not the same quality that I saw in the photos on his website. The eggs were quite expensive (over 100$ for 20) so I was expecting some better results so I ended up selling all the chickens except...
I hatched this little pullet from eggs I bought online. She is now 10 weeks. On the actual egg is was written that it was a porcelain color but I’m not sure is it actually porcelain cos it looks a little bit too dark. What color do y’all think she is.
I hatched my first silkies from eggs I bought online and I'm not sure if this little girl is in color splash or paint. She is 2 months and 2 weeks now but when she hatched she was completely white. Do yall think she is of good quality?
My hen is sitting on 5 eggs it's day 20 three of them are almost fully dark and starting to peep but the other two are only half dark and the other half is cleat but I can see some movement on the dark side but there's no way that a developed chick would fit in that dark bottom. So will it...
My chicken is sitting on the eggs it's day 18 and two of them looks like that in the picture but a lot darker and veiny but have a huge clear part so are there any chances of hatching from them
