I have two silkies. One black and one white. I originally swore the black was a male based off of the stance it had always had but I’m not so sure. This white one is much smaller but the hair is different. It also has a much deeper cluck lol. My poor black one has pretty bad cross beak, but has...

Hey y’all!! I’ve talked a bit about Spark on here before, but I wanted to post some pictures of him as he’s grown up :) he was born this past November, around the 10th, so he’s roughly two months old. We recently found out he’s a baby roo, as he started crowing and his spur buds are starting to...
Hi everyone! I wanted to start a thread for Silkie/faverolle breeding project I’m starting. I have a white silkie rooster who’s larger than usual. I have a thread on here about him and have been keeping his biggest offspring to try to start a line of LF silkies. I also raise salmon faverolles...
Hello! I have had 16 chickens in total, some have had to be given away, some has sadly passed away. I have 6 chickens, Chester a crazy cackle toppie, Chumi a classic red hen, Cat a black silkie, S'mores a white silkie, Gemini a white silkie, and Munchkin a white silkie. We've had them since June...
What do you think of this white silkie rooster and the silkie hens (one black, one white, and one splash - or is the splash one white with leakage?) They are about 4-5 months on these pictures. I don’t have pictures of their feet, but they all have five toes and feathered feet.
Hi, I have 4 silkies all about 10 weeks old. I think #4 is a girl because her wattle and comb are under developed compared to the others. Any thoughts about the others, all boys? Thanks.
I’ve have an 8 week old white Silkie and silver laced polish. What do you all think on the gender? The Silkie is the dominant one out of the bunch and started crowing a couple days ago. My brother said that his dominant hens crow in the mornings too. The Polish is very calm and not aggressive...
I just jumped on the Silkie train and I’ve been absolutely LOVING the Silkie life. I know the sexing of them is difficult, but they’re starting to show more of their nature and I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thinks the genders are? Check out the attachments!
I have:
1 large...
i realize they are a bit young but here are Butternut (white) and Squash (black). Butternut is the younger of the two at 8 Weeks, and this bird has done some play fighting with my sebright cockerel. Comb is just a single small ridge poking up for now. It is inquisitive and scratches and forages...
I was told by the breeder that I got these two silkies from that they were both blue silkies. One is 5 months old (first three photos) & one is 6 weeks old (last two photos).
I am very new to owning chickens and really don't know much about silkie coloring. But...aren't these white and not blue...
I have 3 silkies I got in late February. So about 9 weeks old-ish. I believe the white and one of the buffs are cockerels. And the one I believe to be the pullet is mixed cause of the way her wings look.. any clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Pullet?
Feathers have a dark splotch...

I need to downsize my chickens. I'm located in Lillington, NC. I'll be able to meet locally but I can't ship at this time. I can provide pictures of the parents to these chickens upon request. I have the following chickens for sale:
A first generation blue Showgirl hen

She will be two years...
She May Be Small, But She Can Still Get Her Head in the Bucket to Eat!
This is my 6 1/2 week old white silkie eating out of the feed bucket I made for my chickens. I do have feed at a lower location, but she prefers eating like the others do!
So my two silkies, Friz and Porg, are four months (at a guess) old now, and still no guess on their gender. I'm keeping them either way, but I would like to know your thoughts? I think both may be pullets, otherwise my OEGB rooster Gary, would have attempted to fight with them by now(he's...
