    Silkie doesn’t stop cheeping

    Only one of our silkie eggs hatched and she was cheeping constantly except for at night. We’ve made sure her brooder is at about 95 degrees and put a mirror and feather duster in her brooder in case she was lonely. She only stops cheeping for maybe one minute at a time and she does not seem to...

    Sudden onset of leg weakness

    I brought home 4 silkie chicks on Friday. Aside from the typical adjustment phase, all were active, eating, drinking, and thriving. This morning (Monday) I went to the brooder to see one of the chicks on its side. I assumed it had been knocked over or fell off the stuffed animal in the brooder...

    Silkie chick color?

    Hi all :) I’m very curious to hear opinions on this chick’s future color? I was told it should be a splash. Unfortunately I have no idea of parents’ colors. It’s a week old. The wings and feet feathers are white, head is yellow and back and chest are this grey/smokey cream/blue...I’m not sure...

    Silkie Chick Cost

    Hello ya'all! I recently got into hatching and plan on starting a hobby business of selling day-old silkie chicks. My question is how much should I charge? The silkies are pet-quality blues, splashes, and blacks, all strait-run. I was thinking about 3-5 dollars per chick? They will all be from...

    Silkie chick with noticeable wattles?

    I have a month old Silkie chick who has enormous wattles compared to my other silkies from the same hatch. Wondering if this is normal or perhaps a glimpse into what this chick’s sex might be? These are my first Silkie chicks, my other silkies I got as cockerels/pullets. Here are some pictures...

    Sick chick?

    I have a silkie chick I got from tractor supply Monday and I noticed today it’s been standing in one spot head down. It doesn’t run when I pick it up but it does get lively and wants back on the ground. It doesn’t lay down either.
