    What color is that Silkie Chick ?

    Hi I hatched some silkie chicks from bought eggs and I don’t know what color is one of the chicks. I thought it was blue but it has more of a brown undertone. I can’t really find this color online. Also it was completely white when it hatched.

    I just just want some LOVE

    Hi guys, I got myself 4 silkie chicks, 4 days ago they were 8 days old. How long will it take for them to not be so nervous around us? Is there anything I can do other than handle them a lot (which I have been doing)
