    Need help identifying the sex of three Silkies

    I have 1 silkie we know for sure is a rooster but I have three “hens” that are a lot bigger than the rest that have crests but I’m not completely sure. They also have streamers on the back of their heads, which characterize that of a Roo, however I’d like to be positive of their gender.

    Multiple brooding silkies: is it a safe method?

    My coop has just been renovated and is ready to welcome some inhabitants. Someone gave me 3 three week old EE chicks to start with, but I want to add a few more chicken breeds to get a colorful egg basket. To that end I plan to buy some Silkies and hopefully trigger that much-talked about (and...

    ISO: Silkie Hens (Washington State)

    I'm hoping someone has some hens to sell because I don't think it's fair for our rooster to be alone. Our 10 hens won't let our rooster near and since he's a wimp, he mostly gets attacked by them without fighting back. Does anyone have Silkie hens that they're selling? I don't care about the...

    Another Sick Silkie...

    I know there is another post below mine about a sick silkie but I wanted to make a separate post for myself. I know kittens and puppies sometimes get a little discharge from their eyes that gets crusty and you can use a bit of warm water to help open it again. Is it the same with chickens? Is...
