Silkie thread!

Ah, the light beak had me fooled. She is super cute - is she "Partridge"? I have two right now, the Blue mother - and a Blue kid (I call Cruella because of the curled shoulder feathers that came in while she still had her chick down) - and I think I got one Blue Frizzled Silkie too - just not easy to tell with Silkie feathers

I believe so =) She's such a sweetie! Acts just like a silkie too, such a drama queen! Did you join my group on facebook?

Here is one of my frizzle Cochins. They are sweet as can be. Wish I had some girls. Mine are all boys.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I am going to wait a week and see how they start to look, might take some back if I can find any better ones for sale. Didn't know about the light beaks chancing or I might have grabbed some different ones. I just grabbed some with the darkest feet and beaks. Some had 2 colors on their toes and I was too paranoid to know if that was normal.

Yup sometimes there will be "pigment holes" on their toes but they usually darken up within the week.

I would say if you are not going to be breeding then keep them and love them.

I get my Polyvisol from Amazon.com SO much cheaper. I was having a hard time finding the one with out iron in the stores, and when I did, it was over $11. Here is the link : http://www.amazon.com/Enfamil-Poly-...UTF8&qid=1372221474&sr=8-1&keywords=polyvisol. You can sign up for an amazon prime account $80+/- a year you can have it 3 day shipped for free, and 2 day is only $3.99 per item. You might even be able to get the prime account on a free trial period, get the free shipping and cancel before the trial ends and not pay anything. I use amazon a LOT! Hope your babies get better.

Thank you! Thanks everyone for your help!

HELLO, my hen Boo layed an egg but didn't sit on it. So I took it home and incubated it. A chick hatched and is now 16 days old. During the incubation , Boo layed and hatched 10 eggs. Boo is a silkie chicken and I had heard that they are more merciful so I put Zebreina( my chick at home ) with Boo and her 10 chicks. I took Boo off the nest and added Zebreina to the nest. Boo instantly pick up Zebreina up by the neck and toss her off the nest. I attempt this every day but it always ends unsuccessful with Boo tossing Zebreina away. What can I do????

Also , Zebreina think she is human. She follows me , pecks at my lips and refuses to sleep soundlessly without me. When I put her in the coop , she either looks at me and hoots continuously or runs and follows me away. She talks all night unless she is in my bed, ( YES, I kinda started that problem because she was sick on her first night so I made her a dipper and let her curl up with me in bed) I feel LIKE A HORRIBLE MONSTER when I leave her with Boo!

How can I wean her off of thinking she's human and what do I do about Boo rejecting her!!!!!!! :-(

Sorry to repost this, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the color and possible sex of my 8 week old Silkies. I took the photo's in the house, since they wouldn't hold still for a minute outside. Out of a Blue Splash Roo, White Hen


#1 the smallest of the group, looked like a chipmunk as a chick








#2









#3-Biggest of the group, pretty sure he is a Roo










#4, I'm thinking this one is a roo too
