    Runt?

    I am totally stumped. I got 4 silkie bantams from TSC about 2 weeks ago, but one seems to be not growing AT ALL! It's name is MoonPie. 🥰 Yes, it has grown a bit, but it is SO MUCH smaller than my other babies. Fortunately they don't pick on it, but I'm curious as to why it's so much smaller. I...

    Parents both black, chick is blonde. Why?

    I'm positive I accidentally posted this in the wrong spot so feel free to move it to somewhere more fitting. A silkie chick just hatched. I know who both parents are. Mom is my broody hen Misty (black silkie) and dad is Fluffy (black silkie roo with slight silver leakage in his neck). Chick is...

    Silkie hens or Roos

    Hi! New Silkie owner and I’ve read it’s very difficult to sex. I have 6 chicks that are 6 weeks old. I’m really hoping some are hens? Any input would be great!!

    Silkie hatch results: what genes do my silkies carry?

    Hi all, My first ever hatch has produced some unexpected (to me) chicks, and I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable could tell me what is going on here. I had anticipated a 50/50 white and black hatch, based on my rooster being a paint. I was clearly mistaken, and I think I had...

    Dwarf Chick?

    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...

    Anyone else a new grandparent today ?

    I am always so excited when my first chick of the batch hatches, no matter how many times I hatch. I've been raising Silkies for several years and it seems my hatch rate gets lower and lower. Anyone else experiencing this issue, with this breed? I even started incubating this spring in hopes...

    What colour will this chick be?

    12 day old silkie chick originally came out white/cream coloured but is now developing some grey on the wings! It has grown a lot darker within the past few days. What colour will it grow up to be? Mom is a white silkie hen with white parents and dad is a golden partridge silkie.

    What color are my silkies likely to be?

    I have 5 silkie chicks. The one I’m most curious about is the one in the middle. Appeared mostly white/grey at hatch and in this photo. She/he has gotten bigger and appears to be feathering out mostly white. Could it be splash/paint or can a white silkie be born with grey fluff? Also feel free...

    Wonder if this is a blue or self-blue lavender silkie chick

    I got this chick from a mixed color pen where there are 8 hens and 6 roos. Both BBS (andalusian) and Lavender lines are in the pen. This chick that I got was darker (a lot) than the obvious splashes and than the one lavender that was for sure a lavender that was in the mix, but was lighter (a...
