    silkie sexing

    My apologies for the less than great photos. It was make those stretches that roos make when they crow, only no noise was coming out. I hope it's a hen, we can't have roos

    My hen is lonely :( her friend died. What do I do?

    So, about 4 months ago we went to the fair. We came home with an adult hen of some sort that is orange and speckled, and will stay tiny, and two baby Silkies- one black, and one white. The Black one made it 2 weeks, then passed. The White Silkie was now the size of the hen, and they got along...

    Guess who just got summore chicks!

    Any thoughts on what the little ones are? They didn't have an ID... It's pretty cold here... I went outside and covered the cage up with blankets, put a heat light over them, gave them fresh food and water, and they're asleep

    Guess who just got summore chicks!

    I felt sorry for them... I could've gotten the pretties, but I just felt that these guys wouldn't find a home cause of their appearance. They're funny, and I'm sure they'll be gorgeous once they fill in! Pix as promised- Sorry for the bad pix, I'm outta batteries for my camera...so I got to...

    Let's talk about Silkies!

    Well, we have plenty chickens, but I've just always wanted a Silkie! So I have a few concerns/questions about them! 1) Are they temperamental? How's their attitude? Can I hold them? 2) How big --or how many lbs-- to they weigh/get when adult size? 3) Are they egg layers? 4) Are they impossible...

    Momma not protecting her babies? Remove them from others?

    Well, the white one and the black roo have been fighting....time to separate. Does that mean the white one is indeed a roo? I can work on more pics if you need them... I just don't want three roos!

    Why doesn't my rooster care about the hens?

    Hm...ok thanks everybody. He's not getting beat up by the hens, he just ignores them. ( Walks with them like he's a hen himself, but runs like a hen when danger comes) I kind of want a roo that will guard the girls, so our poodles will leave them alone.True, it WAS a pain with the last roo who...

    Why doesn't my rooster care about the hens?
