greatly depends.
I have 5 silkies atm who I handraised from day-olds. None of them are cuddly. But I had a silkie hen in 2021 who was the sweetest girl. And all my friends' silkies are so friendly. I think silkies are usually very docile, calm, and loving. Little bantam breeds like d'uccles are...
So my five little silkie girls have started squatting as of a week or two. I was quite suprised, as they are only 5 1/2 months or so. I can't be sure of who pooped the beautiful nugget, but i know it was one of them. Lulu (my duccle) lays rounder, creamier eggs.
Although it wasn't completely...
It's BEAUTIFUL. I was surprised to find a new eggy in our nests today. No clue which out of my five silkie girlies laid it. (I saw little fleur investigating the boxes tho)
They are only 22 weeks 😮 which is not unheard of, but very young for a silkie. They've all been squatting for a couple...
can anyone explain some basic colour genetics in silkies? i understand blue/black/splash. but buff, white, partridge, paint etc are harder to find info on!
ps: i literally have the cutest silkies in existence, prove me wrong, I DARE YOU
look. at. that. beard.
simply IN LOVE with these boys...
I'm sitting with my fav little pullet right now 🥰
I feel so blessed to have found bearded silkies. They are extremely rare in victoria.
She had wry neck a few weeks ago (pixie did too when she was very sick)
She is recovering so well but it's been lots of work.
