Silkie thread!

[Wytch13]

Wytch13 - your brood looks like the ones I got from TSC. I'm by Elkton. If no one is able to adopt them from you, try Craigslist. I got 16 and all but 5 wound up as roos! I got a great response from Craigslist but I did screen the people wishing to adopt them to make sure the roos weren't going to be used for nefarious purposes. However, I did keep one....he barely crows and it's really low tone....so depending on how much noise they make (don't make) you may be able to get away with keeping one or both.

Mine came from tsc! Only 1 out of 3 was a pullet!

Love the style! Mine are much more active when the fluff is pulled back. With colored hair band, they look like punk rockers!View attachment 1100913

I have the clear bands instead of the colored ones.

I prefer the clear, but the kids like to make them look crazy... Wouldn't be surprised to find them completely dressed up!

Oh yes, they love being able to see

You guys are so lucky to have your handsome roos. I lost all three of mine.

Ok my flock is complete. Got a sq splash today. So that makes 3. Only for now until we can move and have more. I'll post a picture when I that the new one and other two outside later.

What should I be feeding a 4 month old silkie pullet?

I feed mine Flockraiser. Mine don't start laying until 7 months old. I'm now feeding Egg Producer to all of the adults since it's also 20% protein (also it's cheaper for me)

I feed everyone grower feed from start to finish and provide oyster shell free choice for whoever needs it.
