Hi there! Not super great at introductions but I'm dublinducks, and as I'm sure you can gather from that name, I love ducks! Last May we purchased six Ancona ducklings, and a few months later we rescued two special needs Pekins, Winky and Wonky (who are blind and lame, respectively). We really...
Hi all! I recently added 2 silkies to my flock and they have been wonderful. I would like to see if anyone could help me in sexing them early. I will be happy with either hens or roosters but I feel they are both hens but am new to this breed. I will post their photos and see if someone would be...

Please see the attached 2 pictures showing my LITTLE Silkie chick, which I've named "Tiny." She (I know I haven't a clue if it's a boy or girl, but since I take "her" out and love on her every day, I've decided that it's a she, just because she's so darn adorable!
In the first picture, you see...
If I’m looking to add a blue rooster to my silkie breeding flock (I’m new to this) and I have black, and splash hens how do I ensure I get a blue rooster and not something split to lavender (or is that okay)
I want to end up with blue, black and splash chicks. And ideally would find some blue...
I’m pretty frustrated and going back and forth on what to do with them. I purchased these chicks locally just for fun to add to my existing large flocks including layers, and several breeding projects I’m working on. The chicks have been isolated 100% in a metal brooder in my basement since...
I have been learning about silkie standards for the past year. I will judge all birds myself based on what I've learned about silkie show standards. I'm still fairly new to this, so just keep in mind that I'm not a professional. Contest ends in a week on the 24th. There won't be any prizes this...
I got my first silkies today and am absolutely in love! I have two black and one that’s a silver-grey color. I was told that one of the black silkies might turn out to be a showgirl-she has a name neck. I’m pretty sure I’ll be naming her Dahlia. I’m wanting some suggestions for my silvery...
Sorry- a lot of questions I’m about to unpack here 😂
My two silkie chicks are 4 & 3 weeks old and seemed a little bored in their playpen setup so I googled if I could give them snacks or something new and read that if I chopped up sweet corn and gave them a very small amount it was ok. Well, I...
This is my dominant white silkie roo Cloud. His comb was nice and dark up until about 9 months old when it started to get more red. I'm not too worried about it breeding wise cause almost all of my silkie hens have black combs. I'm expecting his first chicks on the 23rd. Of course the only hen...
I hatched this from a lady who raises silkies. But I have a sneaking suspicion that with the smooth feathers and pink feet it's daddy is not who she thinks lol. The skin is a light grey but with pink feet and comb. Definitely has 5 toes on both feet. Any ideas? Is this just a random phenomenon...
I have a cuckoo silkie hen with light skin and a dominant white silkie roo with dark skin.
I know that cuckoo female x non-cuckoo male results in non-cuckoo females and cuckoo males. That would be fine if I bred my hen to a black rooster. But I only have a dominant white rooster. I'm wondering...
I have recently got 4 silkies that I am adoring but worried that I have roosters. I wont be able to keep roosters where I am. Sexing seems to be so confusing, and all of mine have different features, but sadly Im starting to think at least 3 of the 4 are Roos. What do you think?
They are about...
Hello! I’m ISO GROWN silkies for sale. I lost my whole flock and I want to get back into breeding again and hatching chicks. I don’t care the colors or anything like that I just need 3-4 hens and one rooster. ONLY silkies please. I am near the northern Arkansas and southern Missouri. Please...
Hi! So let me start off by saying that this is all still rather new to us so I have a couple questions. So we have a little silkie hen who has recently started to go a bit broody. We've still been taking the eggs but I'm starting to think about if we should just let her keep a couple and see if...
Right now I've been learning the USA silkie standards, but I'm in Europe and I wonder if the European standard is different from the American standards.
Personally I like the look of the American standard silkies better, since I think European silkies are less fluffy and have slightly different...
