Silkie thread!

She's a sexed female. She's from a hatchery

Hatcheries aren't so bad if you just want a pet or eggs. I have 10 hatchery SLW and 20 Leghorns as part of my egg flock that I love. They aren't going to win any shows for sure, but they're so comical and friendly and lay nice eggs. Be sure to post pics as she gets older

Has Ice seen her yet?

Well after a stressful hatch, here are my new Catdance babies. One buff, one lavender, and one partridge(??) It hatched out of an egg marked B/S, so I have no idea, maybe a miss marked egg?? Plus a Paint chick I bought today

A very sweet group!

Such cuties

Get ready for some cuteness....

these are the two white silkie chicks I just hatched this Spring.. They are living in a brooder in our garage but they like to come inside every once and a while to nap on me or climb all over me and play

Can't find the poly vi sol anywhere and Bi-mart told me I need a prescription for it?

Have you tried your local breeder? I believe walmart and TSC has it.

Thanks ill look at Walmart in the morning, I picked up sav-a-chick packets at coastal it's Electrolyte and vitamin supplement. Will that help his toes? I'm very worried. Having a heck of a time with the splay leg thing staying on. This is stressfull.

Can someone tell me when a silkie chick would start to get its topknot? I bought my silkie at my local Tractor Supply before Easter and s/he still does not have one. Could anyone help me out? I can post pictures if needed.

Sorry but it's not going to get one. Hatchery birds don't look much like the breeds they are supposed to be. Some hatchery silkies have no foot feathers too. Hatchery birds are basically cheap crap. If you want a decent bird, buy from a reputable breeder.
