Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[AngBantamLuv]

I came on here to see if it was good cause some reviews said their feathers weren't good but the have so many varieties and they are in stock. Yours are adorable.

My d'uccles came from them too.. and i just adore them and they are soooo beautiful! Im going to do an order of ee bantams and might add a couple silkies again Im going to use Ideal again.

Oh!! One thing i did do, not sure if it makes a difference, but i got the high protein chick feed, rising chicks, just because they are making a more delicate special feather (diva feathers). I also feed everyone nutrena feather fixer. I have had zero feather issues, in fact they just had their first molt and it was done within a couple weeks. I have a splash cochin too and her feathers look great. Oh and they are always laying (minus silkie broody time), i assume because their energy isn't being sapped for their feathers.

They have so many colors! I was looking at D'uccles and silkies and ee bantams to get. Oh and Cochins too.

I feed organic so I don't know if I would be able to find any thing like that.

Did you see they have frizzles? I am contemplating a bantam brahma so i can have a puppy-chicken to walk around the yard with me. My others are flyers, so I don't trust them

I saw them, but I don't really like frizzles. Have two full sized buff brahmas, I handled them a lot as chicks and adults but now they are super skittish.

I know its not exactly the same, but the new polkie I got had serious wobble, like even when it was standing still, its head would just go in circles. I added poultry nutridrench at a dosage higher than recommended for 4 weeks. The wobble and backwards walking has stopped. Not sure if you have it where you're at, but here is the label info.

Again my only cockerel is a few months old and is wobbly! The one hatched in April I had to put down because he was so bad with his head backwards and now Burtle I love can't walk properly! Can't stand. Lays around. I have started a thread with his problem but getting any advice I can if you guys have any please!?
Currently seperate with poultry vitamin water and chick starter feed.

I had this happen with 2 roos a few days ago, I'm 99% sure it was aluminum poisoning after we got our porch screened in even if we tried to clean it up. One died instantly and the other one has started to get back on track today. I don't think that's what yours has but maybe something similar. Praying your boy gets better soon

Do white silkies get super dirty? I want to get some but not if they will turn brown, I'd get partridge silkies for that.
