Hello! I have a show quality black silkie hen, a white satin silkie hen, a white silkie hen and a black silkie hen, and a buff silkie hen. The mothers have thrown out a few beautiful gray babies before, so I believe(?) That makes one of the white mom's recessive white?, But I have only a buff...

Hello! I have silkie chicks going on 2-3 weeks old (depending on the chick) and was wondering if anyone could help me any with identifying what colors they might be when they get older? The hens are white and black and the rooster is buff. Some of the chicks have more defined "stripes" on their...

Okay, so my broody silkie has officially been laying on her clutch for 21 days! I haven't been candling the eggs to see if they're developing because it's her first time going broody and I didn't want to disturb her and cause her to move, I also don't know how many she's sitting on. It may be a...

Hello! I have a silkie hen that has been broody over a clutch for just over a week now. I'm checking every day to make sure no one has hatched(I know hatch date is 21-26 days but I'm making sure 😂), but this leads me to my question; when they do hatch, is it better to take them out into a...

I'm on day 21 (starting from the first 24 hours) incubating some barnyard mix babies and I'm getting worried because on day 18 the air cells looked fine to me (this is my second time hatching ever, my first attempt was unsuccessful) but I didn't see any movement in any of them. To be fair...

My silkies are in a moveable coop in the backyard. My uncle had to help move a tree that had fallen in the last storm, and carelessly moved the coop over about two feet without saying ANYTHING to anybody. With that said, he moved the coop ONTO the leg of one of my girls, and tried to act like it...
