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.

@nando5242 2 года назад

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.

@anandchundi6805 Год назад

I have one aggressive silkie hen and one who wouldn't hurt a fly. Very funny but the sweet one who gets beat up cries when removed from the mean one, funny how that works.

My blue silkie rooster was named Menace, because he would really try to protect his girls, he even charged at me twice, and I just picked him up.

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

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 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.

Where are you? I’m in Florida and I’m wondering how much of an issue heat will be

@mobstercrow7515 Год назад

Keep them inside when it gets too hot! Extreme heat will kill any animal, including humans. I'm getting chickens to keep in my house and I suggest you do to. My aunt used to keep her chickens inside before she died from cancer. They are very clean animals and they even make diapers for them.

@ahorseofficial Год назад

@@mobstercrow7515 Yes, I'm keeping everyone inside. I'm in Texas and we've had many summers that would get hot, but never hot enough to kill our chickens (in fact they seemed comfortable in it). This was really strange and sudden, but I suppose it has to do with silkies specifically. None of the other chickens, dogs, or goats had any problem with the heatwave. Lesson learned I suppose :(

@mobstercrow7515 Год назад

@@ahorseofficial They have thermometers on amazon that you can connect to your phone so you can check the temperature inside of their coop and run. I highly recommend buying one! Silkies are also very bad for the heat and cold since they don't really have feathers.

@CSProduction12 Месяц назад

Do you have any tips for introducing silkies into a flock of other more aggressive breeds? I have a flock of 5 road island red hens and 3 Australorps. They have a massive coop/run and they free range in the afternoons. I would like to add some silkies but knowing that they tend to be more docile and will be much younger I am thinking it might be a bad idea to try and mix the two, though I don't really have the time or space to build a separate coop/run.

@betha.6279 8 месяцев назад

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.❤

@Agronomag 4 месяца назад

Sorry to hear about your silkies, especially the rooster you had a special bond with. It's touching to hear how you leash-trained him and took walks together. It's tough losing pets we care for deeply, especially in such a sudden way. Your memories with them sound truly special.

@Agronomag 4 месяца назад

@@BlingtingSam Yes, most people do raise chickens for food, but there are also those who keep chickens as pets because they enjoy their company. This shows that people can view chickens in different ways, either as a source of food or as friends to care for.

I don't really agree with the part that silkies are not considered aggressive but from my perspective the silkies I have are very aggressive and whenever they see a cat or another type of wild animal they will start pecking and attacking it

@Agronomag 4 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing this. While they're generally known for being calm and friendly, like most chickens, they can have unique personalities and behaviors. Your silkies might be more protective, especially if they feel threatened.
