    Everyone’s fav: silkie chicken sexing

    Are these silkies silver and gold based or something else?

    I have two silkie chicks that just hatched that are an unusual color. Kind of yellow on the head but the body looks kind of dirty gray. I have tried to figure out if they could be silver and gold based (meaning they would be boys since girls can only have one base color.) But I can’t find any...

    Silkies 3 Day Old Chicks What Color Will They Grow to Be?

    I’m attaching pictures of my 3 day old silkie chicks. Would love if someone can tell me or give their best guess on what color they’ll be when they’re older!

    2 month Silkie gender?

    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?

    Unexpected wing colors developing in silkie chicks

    I purchased a few day-old silkie chicks from a breeder two weeks ago and two of them are developing unexpected colors. What do you think they'll look like as adults? The grey chick likely came from the blue/splash pen (but maybe the egg could have been from the paint pen??) but is developing...

    What coop bedding is best for newborn silkie chicks living with adults?

    My broody silkie hen will be hatching out some silkie chicks for the first time next week! My adult silkies' coop bedding is pine shavings, but the person I bought fertilized eggs from said that the dust from pine shavings can kill baby silkies. What bedding should I use instead? I'm looking for...
