Silkie thread!

[shelbyssilkies]

I am new to raising silkies and not sure what to do.. I had 2 white silkies that are about 3 months old and 4 black silkies that are 6 weeks old.. well one of my white ones died for some reason I don't know and left my white silkie alone.. I tried to put the black silkies in with the white silkie so she wouldn't be alone but she pecks the black ones on the head so I took them out cause I'm scared she will peck them on the head and kill them.. what should I do? Keep them together and hope they warm up to each other or keep the apart until my black ones are older??

keep separated until they are closer in size and then gradually introduce until they have an established pecking order and you feel comfortable enough to leave them together.

VJP poultry had a beautiful blue boy with red splash for sale as a pet quality chicken. I am wondering if I should get him. He looks soooooo beautiful even if he isn't show color he is still so interesting looking. I would even say he almost looks like a calico with white, blue, and splashes of red. He's so fluffy too and super sweet. BAH, tell me not to do it >.<

Don't leave the poor boy there. He needs brought home and taught the wonders of house chickenhood.

I'm not sure the colors but they are really neat looking. The second one kinda resembles my EE chick. I love the patterns
