Quote: "Birchen" does not exist yet, and if it does its on a VERY small scale. Assigning a name to a bird doesn't make it what it looks like. That bird may not ever throw anything that looks like even remotely like it. I don't want mixed birds and I have some very nice looking Silkies right...

Quote: I don't know what to do, they are mostly black with silver or grey on their necks and some on the feathers. I talked to the guy that I bought them from and he said that he had all of his Silkies together, black, white and partridge so I'm assuming that they are just a mix. ??

Quote: Where do I find it? At the feed store? I found it here at Ace hardware. Thanks for the info... I went and bought some sevin 5, is that the right stuff? Will they be ok if they eat it, I didnt put a lot down just a little for now.

Quote: When I change the bedding, I put down some sevin dust first. All new chickens get dusted with sevin dust just to be safe. If I see anybody scratching etc, I will dust them, but everybody is good, no lice. You can also apply it right to the chicken, just keep it away from their face...

Quote: So I just put the sevin dust in their areas once a month? When I change the bedding, I put down some sevin dust first. All new chickens get dusted with sevin dust just to be safe. If I see anybody scratching etc, I will dust them, but everybody is good, no lice. You can also apply it...

Quote: I'm not sure if you received my message, someone just told me how to respond. I'm in Tucson.

Quote: We were DQ'd at a show in January because of some brown in the hackles, I was a black silkie, and I was told a slight tinge didn't hurt. YUP! It did! I am not breeding these guys they will go in the pet pen, but apparently it is really really difficult to get a pure black male for the...

Quote: I use 5% sevin dust. It is the same exact ingredient that is in the poultry dust, just half the price. ETA: Id love to see pictures of the birds when you get them. I will post them tonight, I really would like some feedback, it would be very helpfull. So I just put the sevin dust in...

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain : Quote: If you click the blue "quote" button in the lower right corner of someone's post, it will quote that person so they know you're "talking" to them. Could you post a picture of the black silkie with the silver hackles? I'd be curious to see it. Good luck with...

This lady back east has sent me a lot of pics. She seems great, very honest about her birds. That's a great idea, thanks, I will quarantine them just to be on the safe side. I also was reading that Silkies can get lice, what should I use to prevent it?

This message is to hunny. I'm not sure how anyone knows who I am responding too! I will get the hang of it soon. What part of Arizona are you in?

Do you know her name. I have talked to a lot of people out here. I am ordering a splash pair from back east, shoud have them within the next couple of weeks. I want a lot more but I just don't know were to find them.

I thought so, my friend just wants some as pets, so I will give those to her. I just love Silkies, but I want to breed them too! I have a buff roo, 8 white chicks that are a few months old, and 3 partridge, 5 black chicks. I am in Tucson. I have been searching for a breeder in Arizona some...

Thank you.

That's kind of what I thought but I just wanted to make sure. I wonder how those colors came out, just all the different colors being breed together I guess?

I am just starting with Silkies and I have about 17 at this time. I have bought from different people so they won't be related. I have 3 black that have silver or white down their necks? Would this be considered pet quality? Is there just white, black, partridge, splash, blue and lavender and...
