Silkie Duck Thread

[learycow]

Hi does anyone know the incubation time for these ducks? or egg colour/eggs per year? also how long they live for?

26 day incubation. Eggs are green, can be cream but less common. Average age depends on the birds. The oldest ones I have are going on 8 years old

Ahh old threads! Love all the I fo on it though.

I got 2 Silkie both female and is looking for a drake for them. Not sure where to find. Couldn’t find many people who has them. Any advise?

I love these ducks! I just recently found out that they exist lol. One day maybe I’ll be able to add them to my flock.

Dave Holderread is selling his flock of silkies. I bought a few. Hatched my first eggs the other day.

I also hadn't heard of them, but I just went back and read this entire thread, super cool! Although there aren't very many pics of adult silkie ducks in this thread, lots of duckling pics but I'd like to see more pics of the adults!

Here are some of our silkie ducks! We have white, blue fawn, snowy, pastel, Aleutian and black bibbed in our flock. This will be our first year hatching from them and we have a handful of ducklings coming from Holderread again this year.



are you still keeping up with this group! I'm trying so hard to get silky calls. Heard they are hard to hatch but may try shipped eggs. I want to know everything about them! I love them!
