    A very successful hatch!

    Say hello to my new baby silkies! We successfully hatched 5 out of 6 eggs (one was still drying in the bator during this photo shoot following an assisted hatch) This was our second attempt this year after losing 8 eggs last time- 6 of which made it to lockdown. Needless to say we are very happy:)

    2 week old Silkie chicks male or female?

    I have two blue 2 week old silkies. One has a tiny comb while the other has none can anyone give me any ideas on what gender they both are ? And also if anyone can guess what type of silkies are they? I know it’s too early but I’m sure many of you raising silkies have some idea on it

    Advice How To Safely Transport Chicks Long Distances?

    Tomorrow I'm getting two baby silkies, unfortunately it's a three hour drive down to where they are. Can anyone tell me how I can keep them warm on the drive back? They'll be under a week old, and I'm pretty concerned that it'll stress them out to much. Does anyone have any advice for me?
