    SILKIES

    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...

    What the heck is self blue split “true blue”

    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...

    Ugh, I think my new Silkie Chicks have MG

    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...

    Silkie show - ends 24.03.23.

    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...

    Name suggestions for this beauty!

    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...

    Bored chicks who are corn fanatics

    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...

    Is my rooster's comb a bit too light for a silkie?

    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...

    Is this Silkie mixed with something else?

    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...

    Will their chicks be sexlinked? Will they be sexlinked by skin color?

    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...

    Silkie lover

    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...

    Silkie hen hatching/brooding questions

    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...

    Help me find the European silkie standard

    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...

    Chocolate Silkie breeding clarification

    I purchased six silkies last fall that were advertised as chocolates. I understand now that quite often chocolate silkies are actually duns. I want to confirm if I have chocolates or duns so my question is this: if I breed these birds together and I get all chocolate colored chicks then I truly...

    No pooping and extra picking

    Hello fellow chicken lovers :) We have a lovely 8-9 week old silkie (assuming girl) who's acting a bit funny - shes out with her mum and the rest of the flock but we check them all the time for issues and we noticed recently that she lost (or likely picked out) all of the feathers under her...
