    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Thank you! I’m not yet, actually. They sent my information to the tester and said he’d contact me within two days, but a month went by until he did. I immediately responded, but he won’t answer and it’s been another month. I haven’t contacted the GDA again yet just because my whole flock isn’t...

    Chocolate mottled x paint silkies

    I’m sorry to hear that! They have been giving me a lot of good advice and have endured my many questions. That one crossing must have hit an odd nerve though. I don’t think I’m on the main silkie page, there hasn’t been any drama that I have seen on mine. Most of the breeders have even being...

    Chocolate mottled x paint silkies

    Thank you! I wasn’t exactly wanting to make them express the mottle and paint at the same time, but to have the mottle split and put back with the mottled rooster for just plain chocolate mottled chicks

    Chocolate mottled x paint silkies

    Thank you! I am really curious, but I’m getting a bit slammed for it🤣 innocent new breeder me. I wasn’t considering it just because I want a chocolate paint (I do want that though;), but I was curious if it could help the mottled breeding

    Chocolate mottled x paint silkies

    Thank you! I asked in a silkie group and I was kinda slammed for even thinking of doing the crossing. I was curious with the splits because breeders do seek out for them. They look darker, so closer to SOP, and they can help with the mottled projects to prevent hyper mottling, which people...

    Chocolate mottled x paint silkies

    Can someone please gently explain to me exactly why crossing a chocolate mottled rooster with a paint hen is so looked down upon? I’m new to this, so I’m just trying to understand. From what I have found from someone on a thread here is Paint hen x chocolate mottled roo 25% chocolate...

    Please help chick with something in its eye!

    My chick has a bubble or something that looks like another eye next to her eyeball! I don’t know what to do with this, please help! I currently have Tiagard, VetRx, and amoxicillin on hand. Would any of this work or do I need something else? Is there any hope for her?

    Silkie breeding questions!

    Thank you! I will keep trying to figure out the calculator! That’s so cool that they are sex link! I guess I will need to make sure the rooster isn’t split to anything, and to find a way to tell which eggs were from the other non chocolate solid colored hens since I will still be keeping...

    Silkie breeding questions!

    Thank you!! I thought only a solid chocolate rooster got the sex linked and didn’t work with chocolate mottled? Unfortunately the calculator is in a different language, so I can’t figure it out

    Silkie breeding questions!

    My chocolate mottled silkie eggs are about to hatch, and I am preplanning what I want to do in my new silkie pen! So question: If I kept a chocolate mottled rooster and got a blue hen, would all of the offspring be mauve and will some be mauve mottled? I’m trying hard to research on these...

    Calling Silkie experts/lovers!

    Thank you! Some of the splits are from a black rooster that was a split to chocolate, and he was with chocolate mottled hens. I’m mostly going to want the mottles to have a lot of white in them, but with all these genetics, I’m not sure how it would work. Would you have to keep the ones that...

    Calling Silkie experts/lovers!

    Npip certification in GA

    Does anyone have an npip certification in ga? I have some questions, and I would love to hear personal experiences! A few questions are: How much is it? How much is the testing? How hard is it to keep up with? What are the coop requirements? What happens if a test were to come back positive...

    Help! What’s wrong with my chicken?

    Thank you! I have learned a lot as well, and I wish I had known this when my past chicken was sick like this. I hope yours gets better! I wonder what this is that’s going around? Is it like a virus or something in the food? Whatever it is, I hope we can get rid of it for good!

    Help! What’s wrong with my chicken?

    So I had that she wasn’t pooping at all today since I didn’t see any green, but then I saw her poop a normal dropping! Her swelling seems to have gone down some, but she still has a little yellow poking out of her vent. But she is perching with everyone else now and wanting out of the coop. She...
