First time incubating silkies

[riehmulus]

Only 1 of 9 silkie's hatched and we are desperately trying to find her a friend. We live in Waddell AZ and appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Sorry you're left with a single chick. I don't know where Waddell is but at least one of the online hatcheries has silkie chicks for sale:

Good luck!

P.S. Glad you added your state to your post...that will help others a lot!

Haha! It’s my favorite hatchery! We’ve ordered from them a lot, and they always have great chicks!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Hopefully, you'll have her a friend in a few days if you order online where the above folks are referring you to!

Otherwise, my only other idea would be to look in your poultry groups for your state/location on Facebook as there very well could be someone near you selling silkies.

I have raised a few orphans, and running the TV set helps.

@Debbie292d is right, the tv does help. I had a little crippled rooster who lived his life inside. He had his own cheap tablet and he loved to watch Pepa Pig. He would get excited when he heard the music.
