You think his coloring is Partridge? That makes 7 Roosters and 13 hens.

This is my Silkie named Sweet Heart. She is a year and half old. She truly is a sweety. I have had some people tell me she is non bearded, others say she is bearded and some say she is partically bearded (all because she doesn't seem to have a full beard.) What would all of you say?
I also would like to know if I can encourage her to go broody. If I collect a few eggs and store them for incubation then place them all back in the nest together in a nice size clutch will she sit on them?

I also have a chicken named Sweetheart! She's a lil different as she's a sultan-silkie mutt.

I don't plan to use my sweetheart for breeding because she isn't bearded but my mom has breed her to one of her Serama roosters I can't wait to see whatthe serama silkie chicks will look like

I have a silkie mix that has a really large crest I'm worried is stopping her from seeing and eating. She is very lethargic today and walking on her knees. No abnormal poop or breathing. her crop was empty this afternoon. I pushed vitamins and water in this morning and by this afternoon she is much better and was up for eating some scrambled eggs.

So the basis of my question is, I trimmed her poof so she could see better with scissors but I'm wondering if I should do more and how would you suggest I remove more. thanks!

I gave mine a good Mohawk haircut and she was doing so much better walking around keeping up with the herd.

You can tie it up with a small rubber band
