This egg that I have in the incubator I think is past its due date. It has weird circles in it as if there's a couple air cells. I don't see a lot of movement either. But I think I see a little breathing, maybe a chest breath. I don't know what to do with this egg. Maybe i will leave it another...

I have 2 that look alike except this ones wing feathers are rounded and slightly curved forward. Her feet have the same coloring of feathers and curved. She has a few black marks on her head and body. I am thinking a splash frizzle? Or is this just a genetic mix.? My other frizzles feathers are...

is this a blue silkie? Colors are "gray" and black. skin beak and feet are black..would the white one be a splash or paint? Just a few blackish spots.

what colors do i have???

Hen has the same feathering this chick does.Just to add, I do have a satin silkies also who could be the mom. Rooster has regular silkie feathering. So in my research this would be a sizzle?

its due to hatch today but i see no movement. Possible blood ring. I have seen this before and have had a healthy chick hatch.

I just wanted to share... my hatched chick is talking to the pipped eggs in the incubator. I did read that they do this but its just really cool when you hear the pipped egg churping back.

Is she most likely partridge, splash or just a wonderful mix. Please chime in with your opinions. update: pink feet, black and pink body. so bummed. There...

My cute little silky chick has splay leg. I googled on how to wrap. I went with the stretchy medical bandage. Her legs were spread eagle beside her. As soon as i wrapped her legs she was standing up. She was only about 6 hours old. Hopefully in a few days she will be standing great on her own...

So i have 10 3 week old leghorn chicks in the brooder. They are skiddish and jumping up to higher levels already. So I just put a day old silky in the brooder. At first they rall ran away from her. Bunch of scardey cats. Now the silky is nesting up with them and they are treating her as part of...

Adorable black silky. my second of the season. She went from pip to zip in 4 hours. Took her 1/2 hour to fully zip. Follow along photos below. I know its said not to mark eggs with a marker but these were under a hen and the pencil kept rubbing off. i put them in incubator the last few days.

This is our first silky hatchling of 2023. So happy it all went well. It still amazes me how this little breed comes out of such a small egg. I love this breed. Very friendly.

1 week old leghorn chicks roosting already. The roost bar is 6" off the floor. I am amazed at this. My ISA browns and my silkies didnt roost for weeks. Is this a leghorn thing?

Si we have a huge sparrow problem. Our runs have a roof. The fence has plastic on them but not all the way around. We have tried netting but they always find a way in. We have tried hanging the owls with the metallic backs, they do nothing. Now that they have found a great food source they dont...

So I found one of my 9 month old black satin silkies broody. She took the 2 eggs that were laid today and decided to sit on them in the middle of the coop. I thought, I will be nice, move her and her 2 eggs to a nice nesting box, that is about a foot behind where she picked her spot. I went...

I have a 6 chicken silky flock . I put a 10 week old and a 6 week old in the run with them. I sectioned the newcomers off for about 4 days. bringing them in at night. I removed the fencing thinking it was time to integrate fully. The 10 week old is being bullied and the 6 week old is doing...

Does anyone elses silkies not roost? I go in to check them and 1/2 of the flock sleep on the shavings on the floor. There is plenty of roost space.

Are these white chicks called porcelain or just a mix? Is the dark one just a partridge? The big golden one is my rooster. Mothers are partridge and one white. Grandmother is white, grandfather was a dark partridge. I know anything can pop up genetically.
