    Cute! Looks like a pullet, body-wise... If you've got a pullet, you're not too far off! :yiipchick It does look a bit roo-ish... best post to the Silkie sexing thread for more input! X2 - Chickie meds, electrolytes and TLC!

    Silkie thread!

    I originally had 9, and 8 ended up being cockerels, you can check them out below. You can see my only pullet, Tiny, is the only one that looks distinctly different from the rest (rounded crest & tail, posture, little-no wattles/comb, etc). She is now 22 weeks old and just started laying...

    If you haven't done so already, I would go to the search bar and type in 'Michigan' and post/subscribe to some of those threads to see if you find anyone local that can help with the silike buddy hunt. Good luck!

    Hmm that is odd to just act like that suddenly... Poor thing. :( I guess just keep an eye on them if possible. Have you checked craigslist? Or any of your local threads on here?

    Silkie thread!

    I am no expert, but have been told that Silkies are better off in a mixed flock when they have a buddy, or similar bantam breed friend (that whole 'birds of a feather' had to start somewhere, right?) I have a flock of 3 right now, I raised my Silkie since week 1 and mixed in 2 New Hampshire...

    Silkie thread!

    Tiny was toodling about this morning, seeming a bit anxious and vocal, I picked her up for a couple lap cuddles, then I noticed her going in and out of the coop. She went in at 10:15 and I let her be, until I went to check on her at 10:30... All nestled in and ready for round two! She was so...

    Silkie thread!

    Thank you! She's so fluffy and cute, some days I can't handle it! So much fun for my first time chicken keeping! :) It is on the small side but I knew it would be just because of the breed, but it'll do just fine! :) Ha! She was named Tiny because out of our original Silkie flock, she...

    :weee :yiipchick My little 22 week old Silkie, Tiny, just laid her first egg this morning! And true to her name, it's quite an adorable tiny egg! I literally squealed when I opened the coop to find this little thing! No shame! Tiny!

    Silkie thread!

    My little 21 week old Silkie, Tiny and her fluffy marshmallow butt! I just went out to check on the girls, and Tiny came up to the door so I opened it and she started stomping her feet and squatting down so I gave her a nice back rub and when I stopped she fluffed herself and walked off. Looks...

    I sit with mine on a daily basis and I catch them checking out my painted toenails and quickly tuck them away or cover them up because they have pecked at them before! Cuteness overload!

    Silkie thread!

    Thanks @Sylvester017! Tiny is extremely fluffy and soo very soft - I'd love to cuddle her but she's quite skittish! They are doing very well for now, but I'll heed your advice for the future. I am planning to expand the enclosure for more room and hide-y spots for everyone. I take them out for...

    Silkie thread!

    Thank you @SilkieChickStar and @Sylvester017 for your input! :hugs Tiny, my 15 week old Silkie pullet, is doing very well with my two new 11 week old New Hampshire Reds. She seems like she's getting closer to egg laying time! So much fluff!

    Silkie thread!

    Boys have been successfully rehomed (and apparently surrounded by plenty of bachelorettes) and I kept our one girl. I picked up two New Hampshire Red girls on Monday, I believe they're about 10 weeks old (they're still in 'peep peep' stage). I was a bit worried about how they'd all get along but...

    Silkie thread!

    I've got 1 white Silkie pullet who is 13 weeks old and I'm going to work on rebuilding my little flock this week. I have a meeting setup tomorrow with a lady who has different breeds to choose from, and I'm wondering what are some breeds that are easier to integrate with Silkies? She is fairly...
