is my 3 month old showgirl silkie too small for her age? I feel like she is too small for 3 months. What do you guys think?? The lady I bought her from has her sister who’s the same age I believe, and she’s much bigger than her or at least that’s what it looks like in her pictures she’s shown...
I have 5, 10 week old silkie chicks but there is one that will just not grow. It's still eating and drinking and acting normal so I'm not sure what the deal is. Any suggestions?
Hello!
Barley been a day but I’m back here this time with what I think is a broken leg. I’m not sure I have a silkie chicken her name is Kitty she’s about 3 months old and I walked into the garage this morning to find her acting dead and my barred rock rooster (who isn’t a bantam but we...
Hi everyone. I have a 2 month old Silkie from a batch of eggs I got off of EBay. All the others have a flat comb still except for this one. I’m assuming because of the difference in comb (and it being large already) that this is a male? Bad genetics or possibly a Silkie cross?
Hey there! I got a few silkie chicks from a breeder that had all colors mixed in together. I was told #4 is a partridge, is #3 as well? And what about the others?
Thanks!
I’ve got my suspicions, but tell me what you guys think?
1- roo, that mean rooster stance, and he has some red waddles coming in.
2- I was thinking pullet but now I might be thinking rooster? Definitely less dominant but is the same size as 1
3-pullet, she’s little and sweet and has a...
Hi! I’ve heard that silkies are notoriously hard to judge the gender of until they’re older but I was wondering if anyone on here was a Silkie expert or had any ideas from experience on what gender my silkies might be! 😄😄🥰🥰❤️❤️🐣 Photos down below!!
They are siblings and the white one is...
We are looking for 2 silkie hens or pullets of either buff, paint, or buff partridge combinations. We have 3 chickens as of now and would like 2 more to add to our flock
Help! my silkie chick (naked neck) is a biter! She also hisses at me when I try to pet her. Are these roo traits I'm seeing? I got her and her (hopefully) sister 3 weeks ago, and am trying to tame them. They were estimated to be about 8-10 weeks when I got them. But the naked neck is pretty...
Does anyone have experience with a chicken who has dwarfism? I'm fairly certain my tiny silkie hen is a dwarf. She's now 10 weeks old and looks like a hatchling. Has been getting vitamins in her water and has trouble walking, we believe she's also blind. She's made it 10 weeks and is a tough...
Hi, so I’m thinking my blue silkie is a rooster. We only have one silkie so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but from what I’ve read online I’m leaning towards rooster. BUT compared to my other 3 chickens, who are all obviously hens, my silkie is very shy & the hens all pick on them too...
Hi all!
First time urban chicken owner here. I am not allowed to keep roosters so if anyone has any thoughts on whether my chickies are roos or pullets I would be so grateful! I know silkies are notoriously tricky to sex, but just getting an idea will be super helpful. :)
I raised them since...
