Hi, I’m looking for more information on congenital loco - stargazing chicks. I’ve hatched 26 silkie chicks this weekend from 2 breeding pens. 16 from my paint pen and 10 from my blue pen. From the blue pen, 3 on 10 chicks were stargazing. Last hatch from the same pen also one stargazer...

This egg came from a staggered hatch and I’m letting it hatch in the incubator with another one since the hen wasn’t sitting anymore and the eggs were cold. I had some trouble getting the humidity up, but it’s at 63% now. Yesterday around 4pm this one pipped. See photo, it didn’t look like it...

Hi everyone! I have broody that is sitting on 6 eggs, 3 have hatched over the course from yesterday morning until now and one is zipping. If I counted right today is day 22. There are two eggs left which I candled, they are definitely alive but haven't even pipped internally yet... I...

Hi everyone, We found this canary in one of our friend's garden. But something seem wrong with it.... It can't stopping pecking / bobbing his head? It also seems like he has splayed legs? He can't sit on anything, can hang though. Can someone help me with this bird and tell me what's wrong...

Had a small panic attack this evening. I had a broody silkie sitting on 14 eggs (took away 6 on friday to put in the incubator because 14 is way to much) and had 6 chicks that hatched earlier under another broody who apparently wasn’t ready to be a mom so we kept them in the brooder. The...

Hi everyone, back again with another question! And it's quite complicated so bear with me :') So I have one partridge silkie hen with 4 chicks that are about 2,5 weeks old. My partner made a 'chicken maternity ward' and it was our plan to move broody hens our 'maternity ward'. The hen with the...

So, two questions: I have 7 Silkie hens in different pens and only one hen has become broody for the moment. She actually hatched her first egg this morning! 1. When will my other silkie hens become broody? They have all been laying eggs for a good 1,5 month / 2 months. I kept collecting all...

So, I have this rooster and I like him very much. His body type looks nice for my untrained eye, to much hard feathers to my liking but he's partly EU silkie. But, does anyone have a guess what color he is? He was born a partridge with the chipmunk markings, so I'm guessing he's a partridge...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum but I have been through almost all the threads regarding silkies, silkie colors and injuries. So I'm what some people call, a lurker. Unfortunately I now find myself in a position where I need some help. My weimaraner got into my silkies' coop Tuesday...

Hello from Belgium! My name is Flo and I'm a proud silkie mom. I've been an avid lurker and read a lot of silkie threads. I have a flock of 7, started last augustus. Faith decided to give me four roosters and 3 pullets. I'm looking to rehome 1 or 2 roosters, but for now all is well in my...
