Silkie thread!

She really doesn't know what's going on

No, I'm actually silkie-less at the moment, after my funny, adorable black silkie hen was recently killed by a hawk.

So-o-o sorry about your loss!

Our Black Silkie is our funniest spunkiest Silkie too! Always getting into things!

Last night I put a few of the silkie roosters up on the roost with the large fowl girls they are living with. Two of them figured out how to get themselves up there tonight. Took me a moment to find them. They were snuggled in between hens.

I should be able to hatch a few crosses this spring for egg layers. I caught two of them mounting new hampshire hens today.

My roosts are 2x4s laid flat

The impressive part is where they flew 3 feet off the ground. They have been sleeping in the wood nest boxes that the big girls only use during heavy laying season

This is all new for me last april is when I got all my babies!! This has defiantly been a learning experience thankful I do no a few breeders and learned not very one has the same issue!! I was terrified reading about people whos regular chickens killed their silkies which was a horrible thought thankful I haven't had a issue I have 10 silkie and sizzle style and 9 different full size chickens!! (maybe it my two roosters or not). I called my friend freaking out when I seen bunny and called my friend and asked because she told me silkies don't fly!! I guess the can jump very high!! I did have to re home my favorite rooster because I was the only one allowed in my back yard!! lol but then my friend gave me blue and he is beautiful!!!!

A few behinds, just not close up.


He's only about 4 and half months, I can see some streamers.



No streamers here.

My hen bunny has a few streamers but my roosters have none is that bad??

Does anybody have a black silkie roo for sale? (sorry if this is cross posted)

 

[Heather94]

Anyone know what color these guys will be? They are 3 weeks old (yesterday). I believe the mom was buff & supposedly dad was white? 4 chicks

Found out two of my chicks are officially roo's

Here is to hoping that the other 2 are hens, If not I'll need to buy more silkie hens for my broody machines.
