No you can not teach them. You're right-- they have it or they don't. They should naturally stand in a way that shows off their type, and if it's bad, it won't get any better. Like my white rooster I showed above-- he was terrible.Hawkeye, thank you so much for the link about split-wing. I tried to follow the discussion the other day but could not log into the other site because I'm not a member. The pictures from 'Hattrick' were SO helpful and I feel like I know what I'm looking for now. Also, thank you for examples of correct "type". I guess I'm a visual person because it all makes since now! By the way, do you think we can TEACH a few of our silkies how to stand and have the "look"-LOL! Or is it a "if they've got it they've got it" kind of thing?
Yes, she is gorgeous so far!! I bet she fills in a lot-- 4 months still has so much more to go! Can't wait to see what happens with her! I love her cushion/tail.

Hi! I have got a trio of Silkies, a pullet a cockerel and 1 who we aren't sure what sex he/she is. Is it true that Silkies stop laying in the summer?
Unless they are going broody, which all mine seem to do in the summerMine don't stop.
WHERE IS YOUR BREEDER ? are they off 81 or 95? I want day old chicks do they sell them i do not have a incubator.
They are like other chickens - they are born with the # of eggs they will lay in their lifetime. If they are constantly going broody, I would think they would lay for quite some time. I have a hen right now that is a good 3 years, and she is my older girl. She still lays regularly (when not broody mind you!)do silkies stop laying at age 4? What age do they stop laying eggs please and thank you.
