Something just killed one of my pullets in broad daylight. Her head is missing.
Looking at Bluewhoo's picture, the three buffs look like Silkies to me; the black one some other breed. 4hchickmamma, what are you seeing that I am missing? I agree with Whittni, they do look like hatchery silkies, especially in comparison to some of the wonderful show stock I've seen here. I may be fairly naive, but would the hatchery really sell mixes as Silkies? Thanks for educating me, I appreciate your experience and value your input.
Oh Thai so sorry how devestating, I have a very sick americauna pullet and trying to decide to put her down or let nature take it's course. It is my first flock and the first very sick bird.Something just killed one of my pullets in broad daylight. Her head is missing.
I'm so sorry. Its always terrible to loose a feathered friend.Something just killed one of my pullets in broad daylight. Her head is missing.
The buffs look very much like fluffy versions of Buff Orpingtons, including the typical "fluffy butts" of a BO. The black looks like a Black Australorp. These birds look to be mixed breeds, and may still turn out to be nice as they mature. BTW, BO's and Australorps nice egg layers.hello to the silkie expert... ok here is the pic asked for in the previouse crisis. so boy or girls n why so ugly???? help please...

Some updated photos of my 2 1/2 month old silkies. I've been watching the wings as they grow and they seem to be holding them better. Of course Picaso the pain roo has figured out that holding his wings out and away helps cool him down. It is soooo hot here, my poor chickens are panting in the shade
