Silkie thread!

How long before they die, I was leaving some out waiting for the to sit.

They may start to develop during the hot day but get too cold at night and die. Eggs for hatching should be stored under 75 degrees.

My 2 silkies are soo gentle! I will try to get a picture on tonight. I tried like 3 days ago but I couldn't get it to work but it is fixed now. All of you guys have beautiful birds!! Why would somebody steal them though? Mine are on the backside of my house and if anybody even turns down our lane my dogs let me know so mine should be safe! Haha

Any white you think? What are the best colors out of these?

possibly the one in the bottom right but it's hard to tell. I personally love blacks but to each their own =)

How do you mix Corid for coccidia? Two chicks have died out of the brooder my new Silkies are in. I have saw what looks like bloody poo. They are two weeks old. Can I mix it in 1 gallon of water and give it to them 1 pint at a time?

My son had his first chicks hatch! He's beyond excited. I just had a question as to the color of one of them. Thanks for your help!

The chick looks different colors in the top 2 pictures vs. the last one. In the last pic it looks like a really light blue. Top pictures maybe splash or white?

I dont know if this is a dumb question but I have seen many pics of silkies and I love how you can only see their beaks when they are fluffy but some you can see their whole face..... can anyone tell me why this is?

I think someone already mentioned non-beardeds. They don't have a whole lot of facial feathers which would allow you to see their faces better.

I know this is probably a long shot, but I am looking for a SQ or BQ white silkie rooster or cockerel. I am in north NJ and willing to drive up to 2 hours. Anyone have one they're selling??

Check with Gaetano Farm on Facebook. She's in Bethany, CT, she might have something. Not sure what the distance would be for you?

A light box is so easy to make. Can make one out of a cardboard box and tissue paper is seconds! I could show you. No need to buy one!

Never thought of that.

Thanks!

I'm trying to add a pic of my other one, but until then can you tell me more about sizzles?

Sizzles have regular feathers that curl backwards - away from their bodies, all the rest is the same as Silkies. They were originally a cross between a Frizzled Cochin and a Silkie - and have been bred to look like the Silkies. People are working on getting them to be an accepted showable breed - but they are not yet. They are darn cute though!

How do you mix Corid for coccidia? Two chicks have died out of the brooder my new Silkies are in. I have saw what looks like bloody poo. They are two weeks old. Can I mix it in 1 gallon of water and give it to them 1 pint at a time?

I do not see where you were responded to - but the answer is no - you will need to make a new batch each day. Once medication is mixed it degrades - and it doesn't work as well any more. Mix it up just for what water you use in a day, make a fresh batch every morning.
