silky

I'm looking for paint silkie chicks/eggs! Any gender, but pullets are preferred. I live out of America, so it'd be preferred if it's someone who also does, or ships well. It doesn't have to be someone here, but if you know breeders who can, please tell me. Thank you! :p

Because I’m always here every Hatch Time, and after Oatmeal was the only hatch from my last clutch months ago, I’ve wholly reassessed and made changes. Still Not getting hatches even with ample circulation, temperature, humidity, AND separating the Silkies from Olive Eggers and BCMs into their...

I know this is everyone’s favorite. I have two Silked EEs. One hen and a rooster. My hen went broody and hatched one of her own eggs and a couple of other hens’ eggs. My Silked EE chick looks exactly like her/his father. Because of the silky feathers and bantam sizing, I cannot tell what she...

Hello Everyone, We purchased 4 Silky Chickens from Tractor Supply. 1 is 6 Months old Rooster, the other 3 are 2 months and Roosters. It was just our luck that all 4 were roosters. As we have no other chickens (hens) We have no use for them. No cost if anyone can come pick them up.

Meet tiny, she is one winter old. When she was a chick, she was hatched by a broody silky. She stayed with that hen until she got seriously ill at about half a month old. We took her in for special care, I became her mother. At the time, she was not very responsive and unnaturally tiny because...

SO I was originally going to end up with silky chicks today—! woops they’re actually satins. I’ve done a fair share of research 🔬 on the silky breed, but virtually nothing for Satins! Never owned either, new adventure! Do you have any experience with this type of Silky?? I’d love to hear...

Hello chicken mamas and lovers. I just joined and am excited to have a forum thread to chit chat with you all. I am newer to hatching and raising chickens on my own…. as of a year n half ago. Although I grew up in Oregon and have always had my hands in things. My grandmother had chickens as well...

Sorry I double posted on accident. Pls see original post

I have 2 Muscovy ducks and 1 silky chicken who we’ve had living in the same coop for over 2yrs. They’ve always got along fine, except the past week or two they (chicken and 1 duck) have singled out one of my ducks and will chase her around and pull her feathers. She is so scared and sits alone...

Picked up some olive egger chicks from tractor supply over the summer and from what I remember they were supposed to be all pullets. But we all know how that is. Anyway, one of them has a silkie feather gene! I dont know how common it is, but its totally an olive egger type- not a silkie at all...

One of our silkies has had a hard lump in her abdomen since last night. We figured it was egg bound so we tried the suggested treatment to free her of it, but got nothing. We tried sticking a q-tip with natural lubricant, olive oil and still nothing. So my mom carefully stuck her finger in with...

My silky hen is a year old this summer. She hatched early last summer and has never once laid. Our other two silky hens have been laying daily since mid fall without fail, so why has this one not yet laid her first egg??

Hi there, This is one for any silkie experts, or really anybody who might have an idea. I recently purchased 6 blue silkies (16 weeks old) and was wondering if anybody could advise me of the genders. I have posted the pictures and labelled them 1-6. Also as it’s my first time keeping silkies...

I have a little white adolescent silky and she looks more cream colored now. I heard you can wash them, but I don't know how to safely do so. So my question is how do you was them safely?
