2 month olds. I bought these. White and Silver Partridge.

Oh and a duck who thinks she is a Silkie.

I have a beautiful cockerel that when I noticed his beak going in the wrong direction he was about the same age as yours. But my fella's beak wasnot crossed but growing in at a sideways angle. Now it's also crossed. He eats and drinks just fine. He's pretty heavy actually but he can't hang on to breed. I wouldn't use him for breeding anyway. because of the beak.


His comb is even crooked. I suppose there is a deformity to the front part of his skull but he don't act like he has anything wrong with him. Unfortunately I can't use him so I have him up for free to who ever will take him as a pet. He loves cuddling and also unfortunate we don't have a ground pen for him right now. I get him out sometimes to do a little wandering and I feed him fresh Kale cut from the garden. Despite the front view of his face he is beautiful and so fluffy.

So if anybody wants him you supply the box and pay the shipping and he's yours but only as long as he is to be a pet.

I usually prefer bearded silkies, but I think she just changed my mind! She is adorable. And has the sweetest expression!

I love this pic! It's like this chicken is saying "hey, what'cha doing? Can I help?"

No, it means that your silkie doesn't have overly feathered feet. I have some with and some without.

Oh Man! That little momma is a Sassy thing with her tail in the air! Love it! And her too!

Yeah that's what I thought too she is a character and she was making sounds while she was looking at me too so it made it like she was really taking and even more funny.

And here is a pic of a cockerel I decided to keep from my valentines hatch. Much to the dismay of my top roo! This baby is already trying to mount the hens!

He is awesome! I love paints

Excellent! I wanted to see this thread since I finally signed up today. Heavy lurker for about 2 years...
I'll show my Silkies I own. I own some other types of chickens but my Silkies are my own bought chickens that I have had since babies.
They're 6 weeks right now and I have no idea what their sexes is but I have names for them.





Yes I have food coloring on their butts so I can decipher who is who. The blue has always had a head like that... They're the odd duck to be honest... Their peeping is even raspy.

And this is from a few days ago! And no, none of them pooped on me for the half hour I had them on me haha

Hope that wasn't too much!
