I was wondering how many mL of nutri-drench to give my 3 month old silkie chick. Her wry neck has been getting worse, though she only seems uncomfortable when getting ready to sleep. She is a little over a pound. Also, does anyone have some tips on how to get rid of lice snd their egg sacs...

This is Cambria, my 5 month old bearded silkie/polish cross. She's a bit of a foodie and will peck my hands to see if I have any treats for her. I don't actually know if she or any of my chickens are females yet, but fingers crossed. ~ This is Blizzard, my non-bearded silkie/polish cross...

Hello! I have two adorable silkies, unsure if they’re mixed or not, and I would like to have feedback on any guesses of what their sex may be (: I have a hunch that the darker colored one may be a roo and the lighter a pullet. The theoretical he is more bold while the other is a bit more shy.

My little girl has some serious scissor beak. She is a silkie and just shy of 6 weeks. She is half the size of her sisters... pretty much literally. I weighed one tonight that was over 7 oz and she’s only 3.5 oz. She is constantly eating because it’s so much harder for her to get any food, but I...

Hello, I have a little paint silkie almost full-term baby in big trouble. They were in lockdown and his/her shell was broken and almost completely fell away. Like, the insides were in the membranes still but no shell except for a little bit at the bottom. There is a lot of yolk and I htink the...

I had a few people who had there day silkie die after they got some day old silkie from me. I'm mostly sure they did not have good heat set up for them. I'm sure that was the case for 1 of them. The ones I had all did well so I don't think it was sickness. I made up my mind to not sale this...

I hatched my first silkies from eggs I bought online and I'm not sure if this little girl is in color splash or paint. She is 2 months and 2 weeks now but when she hatched she was completely white. Do yall think she is of good quality?

Hello, I have now owned silkies for about four days! The one in the picture is probably about 7 weeks old. I know that the only way to truly find their gender is through DNA testing. I just want a basic idea on what you guys think this beautiful buff is. Thanks!:D

Hello, my babies are between 3 to 4 weeks. They are silkies! I was wondering how I could get them more tame, I talk to them and they talk back, when they hear me they beep A lot. I was wondering if it’s where they are so young, is why they are still skittish. When I hold them, they are so sweet...

Hello! I am new to this site and these are my first silkie chicks, but I have been reading lots of things online about how it is difficult to tell their gender at a young age. I’m just curious if anyone on here thinks my black silkie will turn out to be a rooster, just based off of memory on how...

I will hopefully be getting Silkies in the next 3 weeks. I am looking for a Silkie breeder that can 1. Ship a minimum of 3 chicks 2. Breeds the bearded colors of Buff, and Splash 3. Can DNA test the birds before shipment because I need only females. I know that I am asking for a lot, but if...

Hi guys, I recently lost a one week old white silkie chick and I’m looking to replace her/him. The problem is, I cannot seem to find anyone willing to give me a 1 day to 4 week old white female silkie purebred. Does anyone know where I can get a live 1 day to 4 week old white silkie chick...

I just hatched a silkie chick and she/he was literally born on April 7th 2019. So she/he is a week old. She’s/he’s a white silkie chick because the color is yellow. I have a picture of her. I named her Fidget because when she was born she was really restless. Fidget means to be restless. Fidget...

So thinking about getting some silkies chicks soon. Does anyone know where I could get silkie pullets from? I only want around 4. I’ve always had a dream to get 4 and name them Stevie Nicks, Cher, Dolly Parton, and Reba. :D

i have 5 chickens, one roo 3 red hens and one silkie hen. A non profit posted a silkie chick they recovered for 8$ and I couldn’t help myself! But I don’t want to get into heat lamps and stuff, could I introduce the chick to my silkie hen and if she will let her take care of it? I have chick...

I’m trying to get some Silkie chicks this summer. I live in south Texas (Houston). I’m wanting to find a nearby good quality Silkie breeder. There don’t seem to be many active breeders around my area that I know of. If anyone knows of any, I would be happy to take suggestions. Also, is it...

Hello, and no, I don’t have any chickens yet. I live in a suburb area in Houston,Texas (hot and humid weather). I am trying to buy 3 Silkie chicks this summer. I’m so excited and can’t wait. If anyone knows anything that I absolutely need to know first, I’m all ears!! Thanks.

I was helping Cin move the bigger chicks into the coop today when we noticed this one's neck was suddenly crooked. She can hold it straight, but when she looks upwards, it tilts. We're not sure if one of the other chicks accidentally stepped on her or if it's something else. You can see...
