U might have to start calling her princess prince lol.

Here’s our only silkie rooster for comparison. since I’ve gotten out of breeding, I sold all my roosters except this splash. Im just absolutely stumped as to why she’s acting like such a rooster. It’s not necessarily the crowing…. But the behavior changes like flirty dancing with the other...

I’m 100% sure I’ve seen her lay. I have had silkies for going on 10 years. They are the only breed I’ve really had (I’ve dabbled in other breeds but silkies have been a constant from day 1 and was what I started with as my first chickens) I’m VERY VERY confident in my ability to determine...

The black/blue is the hen. The splash is our silkie rooster. She has the body shape of a hen but she crows, stands like a rooster, and she’s been jumping/fussing at the other ladies like roosters do with eachother.

I have a silkie hen that I’ve seen lay eggs, but is now crowing. It’s acting dominant like a rooster, standing like a rooster, and crows like one.. I’ve had chickens around 9 years and I’ve never experienced this. We have 2 roosters in the flock and I know she was a hen, but I swear even her...

It started having fits falling backwards and peeping frantically. It passed away about 10 mins ago :( it had one of those fits and then just never got back up.

Thank u I’ll try some raw egg yolk. What should I do about it not eating? Is there anything I even could do… I’ve had to hold it to get it to drink off my finger but even holding it, it still does the big head bobs. It drops its head and swings it back up peeping so loud. Even sleeping it lays...

The peeping is pretty much constant as well. Walks backwards a few steps peeping loud and falls down

I ordered 25 chicks online from a hatchery they arrived last Friday. I lost one yesterday… just started to lay around more than normal and died the same day. I had it, and one other seperated when it started acting weird. It’s making a bobbing gasping motion. Peeps almost every time it...

Thank u! I wrote all that down and put it on the fridge. Thank u for the exact amounts as well. That makes it so much easier.

I’ve noticed some small color differences… still pretty similar to eachother so maybe they are both boys or both girls? Still no idea
