I have a couple of hatchery white silkies that I LOVE.

I threw them in with my layers, and they are tough little things- can hold their own even against the evil barred rocks! *I* think my birds are cute, but really, they are plain ugly, poor things! LOL!! Some time I'll have to post their picture for the heck of it.

The point is, I love them anyway. Anything with fluff is going to have my heart. ha!

I have two baby Silkies...they are a week old tomorrow. They seem to be doing really good, but is there anything special I need to know about raising these babies? I also have an Americauna EE that hatched with them... they all seem to be getting along really well. They are so dang cute!

I have a problem with one of the silkies I just hatched lastnite.It seems that it can't raise it's head up like the others.Can only look down.It's the little Partridge in there.Please someone help me I don't want to let this chick grow up like this or is it that it chooses to do that. HELP, HELP.

Why?

Just for some odd reason I just can't hatch the % rate I can with any other kind of chicken.

If that is the case, look to your breeder birds. I have not more nor less difficulties hatching silkies than other breeds. You might want to make sure your breeders are getting an excellent diet and added vitamins for 2-3 weeks before starting to collect eggs.

Her head isn't twisted or anything but she just can't hold it straight up or look straight ahead or look up. I am just very confused about the problem and what can cure it or is there a cure.
