    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Thanks for the answers, @MROO and @Hinotori , for the aggressive and protective behavior, for my male silver silkie, it looks like it was just that one day thing. It lined up just as i came back from a 1 wk trip away, but after that day, he was back to being a very nice and caring big boi...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Howdy y'all So i noticed that a few days ago, by boy (silver silkie) was a bit aggressive, I think maybe protective may be a better word. But I wanted to ask if y'all know if theres a way to encourage the girl silkies to start laying eggs. I got them march 31st, so it is about 6 months old.

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Ya, usually Japanese keep them as pets historically ( and eggs) but the Chinese and mainland eat them as medicinal chickens because they say it is good for calming the body, allergies, reducing risk of cancer, death, etc. So in the mainland, although both are there, the ones with less fluff on...

    Intro for me ^U^

    So cool, Im happy to be able to connect @Slothinc , I am also very curious if the mother has more dominance when transfering the blue egg gene or if the father will have more influence there. For my chihuahuas, we usually see the mothers' features, but the father's colors in the fur. I have my...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I have also started my goal of trying to get a Japanese Silkie with the eggs being blue. I really love the fluffiness of the silkies but I also want to be able to get blue eggs instead of the white ones. That would be so cool.
