OMGoodness! You guys are killing me with all of this cuteness!!

I am desperately seeking silkies over here and cannot find anyone close. Craigslist and classifieds are a bust.

I have 10 chicks already so I don't want to order more. I just want a pullet or two. Anyone know anybody in northern indiana with silkies??

Just wanted to share a few pictures of my babies. These are from my own flock and couldn't be happier.

Awe they are really nice looking

About the same age as mine are right now.

This is my daughter with her silkie bama

Great picture~

I caught my baby boy crowing for the 2nd time this morning. He's such a little man now!

Love it!

I need to post some pics soon. My babies are 5 weeks already and getting some mohawks. If the sun comes out tomorrow I'll snaps some shots... Although I fear rain is in the forcast. Man I got bit by the Silkie bug today. Thanks for all the cute pics everyone. Now my incubaor feels especially empty

I'm hoping to change that soon!

My broody Silkie Hatched out a EE chick and I decided to let them raise it, hoping nothing will happen. I just didn't have the heart to take it from them. I have two hens looking after it. Do you think the Rooster will be nice to it? I put food and water right by the nest in the coop do you think it will eat and find the food ok, I worry about the litte guy.

The forth chick looks like a dark silver partridge to me. Here are a couple pictures of what it might look like as it gets older:

What color do you call the fourth picture? I have a chick hatch like that and I don't know what to call it.[/quote]

I never had luck leaving them in the coop, always pull one of my broody girls and section of an area large enough in my porch and let my broody girl raise them for a few weeks

Hi I have silkie that I thought looks a bit different from the others like it is a lot less energetic than my other chickens and it doesn't really do much does anything look or sound wrong with it

Are your other chickens silkies? Silkies tend to be much more laid back than other birds and don't rush things unless they need to. Just make sure it is getting enough food and water. Should be fine. Unless it looks and acts sick I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm not sure what color to call it but I like it. It might be a blue with silver leakage or some kind of dark partridge with silver feathers.

Im hoping it looks like this but with silver instead of gold coloring when it gets bigger.

me to. i have a silkie mix that looks like that, but with normal feathers.
