Does anyone own silkies?? I have to...Q-tip and cottonball

Hi! Cute names for your silkies! I have 7 of my own (technically 5 because my 2 roosters are Frizzle Cochin and silkie mixes) my 2 roosters names are Sizzie and Spike they are both blue. I also have 5 hens Greyey (Gray silkie), Splashy (splash silkie), Eskimo (white silkie), Squatchy (black silkie), and Crossey (my splash cross beak chicken that i got from a hatchery ). Greyey and Eskimo recently went broody... We just put them in their own hutches. Greyey has 4 silkie eggs that she is incubating right now (her eggs are 6 days into development) and Eskimo has 2 Blue English Orpington eggs and 2 Jubilee English Orpington eggs under her (they just started developing today ) I really cant wait till the babies hatch!!! !!! Here are some pics of them... 1st pic is Squatchy, 2nd pic is Greyey, 3rd pic is Spike, 4th pic is Sizzie. I don't have any other pics of the other silkies though...

Just got my first silkie yesterday! Starting to feel like I may have a rooster cause I saw her pecking herself in the mirror, plus I just feel like I’m bound to be the one to have picked out a roo so everything she does I’m going to second guess lol if anyone has advice or pictures of their silkies at different stages I would really appreciate!

not sure if my silkies are hen or rooster..they are just 1 wk old

Welcome to BYC

I love silkies, we got three silkies as our first chickens. Their names are Violet Chachki, Veronica Lodge and Miss Vanessa Ives. They have babies too : Lucy, Vegemite and one that hasn't been named yet.

Silkies are hard to sex...you might not know until they either lay or crow.

Dustie died shortly after we had to give Doughboy away. I think she starved herself or she was to cold. I really don't know. I miss her every dayBut here is one pic of her, Doughboy and one of their babies.
