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...

Let us know what you find out!

Yep - fortunately there is no one in my household that would mess with it. Ive decided against locking it and haven't had a single issue since then.

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...

Thats what I was thinking. Such a weird spot to peck at though... lol

Based on the feather pattern again?

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...

Interesting that you think 8&9 could be hens - they've had large red comb and wattles since about 4-5 weeks!

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

I hope that you're right about #4 - there are a couple others saying boy.. I really want that one to be a hen - its SO pretty!!

What makes you say that #4 is a cockerel? Trying to learn how to better sex them myself. Is it the redness around the eye, ear, and wattle? Because even #5 has some red in the comb - but definitely doesn't have those same red eye/ear/wattle. Hopefully the polish ends up as a pullet! Are they...

Wish that I knew this when I got the chick - they were day old straight run. Next time they have them, ill know what to look for!

Hi guys - I have a few barnyard mix and a couple birds from a feed supply that I would like to get some insight on. The older ones I think are pretty obvious - just looking for some reassurance, the other three, I don't really know. #1; ~5-6wks old barnyard mix, possible frizzle dad and barred...

Thank you so much for your help!!! Both of those sound pretty accurate :) And ya I think I'm going to have to clip them - definitely don't want to risk anything happening.
