Should be mostly whites. Those that aren't will be carrying a copy of it. I'm not expecting high fertility. Ashes has too many girls in there.

I popped a egg under the all black larger girl there was two Silky in the nest the other layed a egg the black pulled it under her so I popped a green one I had picked up from the main coop ... the other silky tired to go back in the nest the black on got really po'd at her

Is she sticking? I always wait a couple days to see if they are serious. I have a few that like to fake me out. Though not usually the silkies doing that

 

[pennyJo1960]

I will wait and see if she just runs for food or water so what may clean out the small room
for her if she is serious about it

Hi! Anyone in Vancouver, WA interested in sharing a February order of chicks from MyPetChicken? They seem like the only source for sexed chicks vaccinated for Mareks. There is a 15 chick minimum now, so I'd love to have a partner in this....

none of us vaccinate up here so not sure if it safe for me to bring them here

Only a few breeds are super susceptible to mareks, like silkies. The ones you got from me are vaccinated for it. I do them as soon as the last one hatched is mostly dry.

I don't do large fowl here unless they are part silkie. Never had any problems with it in the EEs or ameraucana even the year it killed all my young silkies.

I don't have the old birds anymore. The breeding stock for the partridge were vaccinated when I got them so all the silkies here are done

Nothing like watching a couple dozen teenagers and young pullets go lame and die to convince me. Was 100% mortality in everything under 9 months. You can't breed for resistance with that
