Hello! I have a buff silkie rooster in need of rehoming, he’s very sweet. Buff colored 13 weeks old as of 3/1/2021 - not aggressive has been handled as a chick quite a bit will sit in a lap and be adorable - he is healthy no respiratory or health issues. I live in the San Fernando Valley just...
Hi! This morning I found one of my silkie roosters was missing a large patch of feathers on his head/neck and was bloody. I don't know what could have hurt him so badly. It looks like something pulled out a bunch of feathers and broke some others (maybe some new ones too that hadn't fluffed up...
Hello! I have a lovely roo that the county says I cannot keep. We didn’t know when we got him that he would be a roo. He was born just before April 27,2020. He’s a good protector for the hens and has begun trying to mate. He has also saved them many times from Hawks. I absolutely hate...
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.
Hello! Long time lurker first time poster.
This silkie is definitely a roo, right?
I’ve thought so for months but just wanted a 100% confirmation.

3 Amberlinks are 6 months old laying large dark brown eggs, Wyandotte and Barred Rock 5 months and one is laying a very small light tan eggs. But the sweet sweet Silkie (Pearl) has all of a sudden started crowing, biting, and trying to mount the much larger Ambers! So Pearl seems to be Paul...
Hi all,
Only just joined and already I cannot contain my chicken questions.
This is HoneyB, he was our first hatchling and egg was labelled 'Lavender' although to my very untrained silkie eyes, he seems to not be one? Any advice given is greatly appreciated. I've drained Google images but have...
My neighbor, Cindy, has agreed to allow me to post a rehoming thread for her Roosters. She ended up with more than she expected, and each one needs a loving home. They're all roughly a few months of age, and various breeds.
Please contact Cindy via text or call. I shall post updates when...
As hard as this is to believe.... I have too many chickens :p
Selling five silkie bantam chickens as a group, four hens and one rooster. The splash rooster is three-years-old, the white hen is two-years-old and the three blue hens are all one-year-old. These chickens were all hatched on my farm...
Hey all!
I have 3 beautiful Silkie roosters for sale - $5 each.
They’re are gorgeous healthy birds, hand raised to be pets and companion animals, NOT FOR FOOD, however we are only zoned to keep hens in my area so I need the lads gone ASAP.
Local pickup only (sorry no shipping) from Fresno...
Just letting anyone raising any blue or black silkies in southern New Hampshire this year that I can home a rooster when you find out the gender. Currently my chicks are less than a week old (5/20) so no rush. I did not buy any black or blues as will plan to acquire one when someone wants to...
Since our older hens have still not gotten use to our Silkie rooster, I have decided to see about putting him together with our others. I don't want him to be lonely. I can tell that he has been ever since he lost his two pullets and his brother.
Would putting our Silkie rooster together with...
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...
I don’t have any pictures nor was I there when the he passed away this morning, but I am rather confused about the whole situation. My rooster was awake and crowing this morning, pecking around and eating and drinking water amongst his girls. I hang out with the chickens before I head off to...
I may have posted this in the wrong thread, I wasn’t getting any responses or answers hope I can find someone here who will just give me a little advice on what to do here.
