Poor silkies. They are so very sweet and need lots of love and PROTECTION.

Hello,how many eggs do silkies lay in a cluth?

Is has extraordinary immune system ❤ still alive even my entire folks were died 💔

I NEED IT

I love silkies!!! Late Spring this year I was at the feed store and rescued a malnourished extra tiny runt white silkie chick .I named him" Marshmallow." I adopted it long after my other chicks had grown and I had to figure out how to keep it happy while I was at work. I hung a feathered musical cat toy from the roof of the chick's enclosure. The chick loved the cat toy, snuggled with it and can now as a young adult can still imitate the cat toy sounds. My silkie has been slowly introduced to my feathered legged flock and is protected by several of the larger hens. He just started crowing at sun up this morning so now we know his sex.
(I don't let him around my other more rambunctious flock though.) He's the cutest rooster I've ever seen and loves to cuddle with me.❤

Very informative video, I love silkies, I wish you had mentioned some info about their egg hatching by the hen not incubator, pl do that ina future video, coz i have some eggs now and want to hatch through a silki hen

they are such cute birds love em

I bought 4 for a hell of a deal today! 50$ for a blue rooster and 3 blue hens. The lady had a blue splash hen that she sold her to me for an extra $20. They are such an interesting breed!
I'm excited to have them

I’ve been bugging my parents to death to get a silkie chicken since we’re planning to get 3 or 4 chooks. We have a very small backyard but it’s the perfect size to have a silkie in it.
And of course to show I’m committed to getting and taking care of my favourite breed of my favourite type of bird I’m researching the hell out of what I need to do to keep the chooks happy

Hello, I have a question. I have a black silkie. The bottoms of her feet are green. Do you know what could've caused that?
Thank you.

“Silkies tend to be a tad bit smaller in the US then in the EU, have the American size.” Like.. Europeans also watch this video man😂

It’s a quick google search so no biggie but just letting you know.

Amazing video😎🙋👍👍👍🌹

They are beautiful, well all animals are

We just lost our 4 month old Silkie rooster to Marek’s disease. We got him after I lost my bantam rooster to a predator. He was the only silkie we had, so definitely will have to get more in the future.

I adopted 2 laying Silkies; purchased a chick, now 13 wks old. They can be feisty lol.

I used to have silkies years ago I just got some more but for some reason they seem to be having issues warming up to me

Can you do video about sultan bantam and ko shamo chicken breeds please

Where can I buy silkies chickens in New York City area! Will travel upstate or in New Jersey!

We have a road island red

Eggs

My chicken is it’s own breed it can be smart and it can be the most dopey thing it let my other hen kill it’s baby

Silkies are cute as heck!!!

How do these taste in a chicken soup?

soso cute 😍

They make lovely pets, Im so glad my mum decided to get chickens.

My wife saw these and told me we have to have some of these, so we picked up 6 from a local grower and I’m building them a separate pen and coop of their own to make sure they are not bullied by my other chickens, as these are my wife’s pets they will no doubt be pampered, we will likely grow them to sell not to eat and I may have them raise my young chicks and ducklings as I understand they make excellent mothers and will raise other birds young as their own.

I got 2 silkie chicks for 50$ each 😨

I hatched 3 silkies for our yard, unfortunately the heatwave killed two suddenly the other day. The third one, who has crossbeak is now an inside chicken so I don't risk losing her to the heat as well. She is so well behaved, I'm surprised how affectionate she is, much like a dog or cat. Spoiled to the bone, but nonetheless probably the best kind of pet you could ask for.

surprisingly my silkie is the most dominant hen I have. She’s always docile but if pecked by other hens she puts them in their place. I have 3 Rhode Islands and none of them are dominant over her. There even one Rhode Island that fears her.

can we consume silkie chicken eggs?
