Ive got 2 babies right ow, Im hoping to use them as Photography Subjects, just like @Shared Acres . Their chicken photos are beautiful! ( unfortunatley these particular pictures were taken by my mother, so they are a bit " dont you DARE let that chicken get near me!!!!!" kind of fuzzy.

Maybe Keep Her In there when you are with them that way you can Break up any bad fights. If they are just pecking once or twice thats fine but just not the eye or head in general. Gradually integrate them together. just use your judgment. if they are picking on her then maybe separate her for a bit. What I'm saying is don't just throw her in and leave. I don't think she should need anything extra Keep An eye on her and make sure she is getting food and water

Hello,

I have this silkie that when I purchased the hatching eggs was supposed to be blue but as you can see from the photo it is not and I'm not sure what "color/mutation" this silkie is and was hoping you can help me.

Thank you,
Coty May

Hi folks! Would any of you know which is smaller, a bantam faverolles or a Silkie?

I think they're about the same size, but silkies may appear bigger due to their fluffy feathers

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised. Do you have a pic of her? I have an EExSilkie as well

@silkiecuddles The one in question is the white one. Her name is PJ. The one in the middle of the second pic is her true sister, DJ.
