Yep they had me do the same thing… once we did all that and the issue persisted, they sent me a new one and told me they would send a prepaid package to return the “faulty” one. The new one had (and still has) the exact same issue. Luckily I don’t have anyone (particularly children) around that...
His sisters continued to pick his feathers until he matured- he was missing a majority of his neck feathers when I culled him. I would watmtch the girls just sit there and pick them out. They don't do it to anyone else - they only ever did it to him. I have no clue - lol
Hi guys - its been almost a month and I'm still not sure. I appreciate everyone's insight thus far.
Leaning male but definitely not good with silkies. Maybe these new/updated close ups can help. It has pretty small wattles but a decent size comb. Seems like streamers but im not exactly sure...
This is my first time keeping silkies - I only got one white one so I had my fingers crossed that it would end up a pullet, but I think it's showing male traits. Cockerel? Let me know what you think!
Hi guys - I recently purchased an Omlet coop door so I wouldn't have to worry about opening the door in the morning. Ive been infrequently having issues with the door, where it only closes partially, and displays an error reading, "wiring fault."
I contacted the company and requested a...
Thank you everyone... this is what I was afraid of! So weird seeing one that develops so slowly. Its been 5 months since I've had him, hopefully I can get a hold of the breeder and swap him out for a pullet.
Hi guys - I have this bird that was sold to me as a black jersey giant pullet at ~6 weeks old. Its somewhere in the range of 5-6months old at this point. I know she's not pure jersey as she has the wrong comb type; but im not really concerned about breed. All along I was pretty sure she was a...
hi guys - ive got a 5-6wk old olive egger that is losing feathers on the front of its neck. It looks like they're being picked out. This chick is currently being housed with 3 other 5-6wk old chicks; they've been together since hatching day, straight from the incubator. I noticed yesterday that...
Here are a few more that I didn't get photos of yesterday!
#10&11 - entirely unsure of breed - give me a guess or an idea if you can - they came from light blue eggs, thats about all I know, barnyard mix - 5-6wks
#10
#11
#12 olive egger barnyard mix - 5-6wks
#13 olive egger - barnyard...
Ah, I was about to post some silkie photos as well! I have 5 right now, 4 at 10wks and 1 at 12wks. They all look exactly the same besides coloration... lol
