Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[kurby22]

I have Buttons seperated but she won't eat or drink I forced her beak tip into bowl to get her to have a drop of vitamin water but she just refuses. I don't know what's going on with her Something must have happened to her while out foraging, maybe it was both roos trying to jump on her and she got injured
I have plenty of hens to roosters, 16 hens and 3 boys (excl chicks). Often I find the hens hiding in the coop so maybe the 2 young boys keep chasing them and stressing them out. I know if I seperate a boy now they won't integrate back into the flock without major fighting which is not something I want.

Might be shock, I’d let her have some quiet time and see how she seems tomorrow. Young boys can be tough and clueless and silkies are rather fragile sometimes! :-(

Yeah my lil Bambi has been the target here lately...poor lil thing just screams and then runs away. I knock em off...and Bluey is the best lil cockrel ever! He comes to he rescue of em almost everytime! He just is a big tender foot.. lolol those feathers!
His comb isn't right color and has vulture hocks but he has a dream come true personality for a flock of pets and kids!!!

Hey what do yall think bout these 2 Silkies...both girls right? Only one I'm questioning a little lately is the splash...few odd feathers coming in and wanted to see if yall thought streamers.
Then the paint Satin...are those paint spots dark enough to be black? I know @LadiesAndJane has a blue paint and wanted to clarify before trying to sell this girlee!

They are all so gorgeous!
Splash looks female. Pullets can have what appear to be streamers while their crest is growing in but they never get as long as a cockerel’s will.

Lol I hear ya...some threads go faster than others!
So is it a chance she'll darken up over time or you think list her as a blue paint?
