So many pretty Silkies! Thought I would post of some pictures of my sweet birds. Silkies are SO addicting! LOVE mine!

Everyone's babies are SO cute! Silkies are so irresistible! I can't part with these guys. Sold the other 7, but wanted to add more porcelain and the self blue (lavender) splash chick is an obvious pullet, and her full brother (also a lavender splash) is really gorgeous, so she is a keeper...

Sounds like she was outside in the weather if she was in a mud puddle? Silkies can be fragile and need a dry, covered pen and to be housed with other docile bantam breeds. Sorry you lost her.

I treated one of mine at 3 months of age that had severe wry neck. Could only walk backwards with his head completely upside down between his legs. I had to start out by holding his head and force feeding him boiled egg yoke mixed into the Kay Tee baby bird formula (comes dry in a can at the pet...

Thank-you for the advice I have already cut back on the vitamins. He is still getting the vitamin E and probiotic vitamins in his water.

I am going through the same thing right now with an 11 week old lavender Silkie cockerel. He started out with his head between his legs, forehead on the ground and could only walk backwards. I had to hold his head up and force feed him "Kaytee" Exact dry hand feeding formula mixed with hard...

I have a Genesis 1588 and a Octagon 20 advance ex. I usually incubate in the Octagon and hatch in the Genesis. If I have over 24 eggs to incubate I use the Genesis for incubating. I get great hatches in the Octagon 20 and after many trial and error incubations in the Genesis, I get good hatches...

Beautiful!

X2 !!! I want Buffs! Love that color!!

Thanks

Oh! NN= Naked Necks. Never occurred to me! I guess because they aren't that common so I don't see many posts about them.

Thanks I think my Silkies are the least cooperative when it comes to picture taking!

Thanks! NN? I am not familiar with that abbreviation. Picture #1 wheaten/ blue wheaten Ameruacana, #2 Golden Cuckoo Marans, #3 Bearded Belgian d'Anvers, #4 Buff Ameraucana, #5 Easter Eggers, #6 Bantam buff laced Polish, #7 Blue laced red /splash laced red Wyandottes, #8 W/BW and...

I get that question a lot I put them on the counter and back them up against the wall, pushing them back if they try and run out of place. Depending on the breed, some photo sessions work out better than others I take pictures like that of all my hatches.

Here are the 3 chicks I hatched for the NYD hatch-a-long. The porcelain chick is turning a beautiful soft apricot color. I am thinking it and the lavender chick are cockerels and the partridge chick a pullet based on their temperaments. The partridge screams when I pick it up, but the lavender...

Welcome! You did it right. Silkies are so easy to love! Yours is very pretty.

Mine are a bit skittish, but so are my Polish. I think it is because of their crest that makes it harder for them to see.

When mine were young they were afraid to come out of the house, but now they are the first ones out and run all over their inclosed yard. I don't let them out of their pen because of predators. Yours sound smart to stay close since they are sitting ducks for hawks, cats, etc.

Awww, that is too bad The Silkie broody I gave eggs to for the NYD hatch-a-long did not keep the eggs warm and they all died. She didn't seem to understand they needed to stay "under" her Yesterday I tried giving her the chicks I brooded in the incubator, but she made a mmmmmm growl like...
