Silkie thread!

Anyone have silkie eggs? I'd hopefully be able to purchase some after the 8th.

My silkies are 10wks old and they've been with out a light since they were 8 weeks old. They should be fine. temps range in the low 40's here still at night and get up to the low 80's during the day. But they should be good as long as they have a cuddle buddy.

Perfect, thank you! My SIL is picking up the chick with the leg issue tomorrow- so I'm probably going to start weaning from the heat lamp then and then stick the other chick in the coop ASAP so it doesn't have to be alone too long. It'll have 5 cuddle buddies. My Silkies sleep on a roost, so I'll make sure to stick the chick right smack in the middle

Do anyone have a color of Silkie Roo that seems a little more dominant? My 2 Partridge Roos seem to be more Alpha Male than my other Silkie boys and I have Buff, Black, White, Blue and Parti Boys, but the 2 Partridge seem more agressive then the others.

Overall my blacks have been more aggressive.. but only one really bad. My partridge have been my sweetest!

I did forget to mention, I have one White Boy....he is a biter!

Dag Nabbit! I was planning to take Yoshi to his first show (FT Payne, Alabama) on the 14th. Hadn't heard from the website if I need forms, etc- so I called. They moved the show back to last Saturday They did it because there were many shows for that date. Gonna go look for a NE Alabama group. But, my heart ALWAYS belongs to the Silkie group

I entered what I thought was a grey silkie in a chicken show, but the judge wrote "Lemon Blue?" on the card, is there such thing as a lemon blue silkie? I will try to post pics of her tomorrow.

Yes do, because I have had similar issues. Some judges unfortunately don't know silkies well enough to be judging them

I don't think there are lemon blue silkies.

I wouldn't give rice, and make sure beans are COMPLETELY cooked or they are toxic. I wouldn't put the vitamins in the food, put them in an extra waterer. Add other whole grains like whole oats, black oil sunflower seeds, millet, flaxseed, stuff like that with nutrition. For the little ones I would use steel cut oats and grains that are smaller like the flaxseed and millet. Add the oil when you feed it, and make sure you at least let the mixture sit and ferment for 24-48 hours, the longer the better.

thanx for the help!!!!
