My 11-month old cockerel, Elvis (my avatar), is having issues with his balance. I examined him and he seems to be normal and in good shape. He's acting normal, eating and drinking well and still chases the other Silkies around the yard every morning to make sure they know who's boss (lol). He...

Such an awesome family photo! Icelynn's babies are too precious.

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks so much for the advice!

I need some advice please. Stormey's clutch of eggs is at Day 23 today by my calculations. One egg hatched Friday, right on time, but nothing else has pipped or hatched as of this morning. I candled the eggs around Day 15'ish. I didn't take pictures but here are some similar images I pulled...

Yay!!! I'm so happy for you. So cute! Congratulations!!

I'm so excited for you! I know Icelynn is your special girl. My very first chick hatched yesterday too. They could be sisters! She's all dry and fluffed out this morning. Is it normal for the ends of their little toes to be pink instead of black? Will they turn dark as the chick ages?

Woohoo! My very first chick hatched today! My first Silkie laid her 1st egg Aug 9th and is now sitting on her 1st clutch of eggs - 12 in all. By my calculations, today was Day 21 and sure enough, the first one hatched this afternoon. Bobbi Porto - Nitro is a granddad (again, I'm sure)...

Here's a video of him this morning.

NEED HELP....Cockeral (I think) 3 1/2 to 4 months old. Yesterday afternoon came to me holding one of its wings low, almost like he was hurt. I examined him well and couldn't find any signs of trauma or injury. Was slightly lethargic last evening when I put them to bed. This morning would not...

Looks like a pullet to me. Pretty girl.

Checking in with a couple of updates from my little farm aka my backyard. Yipee!!! My first Silkie hen (or hen of any kind for that matter) who laid her first egg on the 7th has gone broody with 12 eggs in her nest! I'm relatively confident the eggs are fertile. I cracked her 1st two...
