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 have 4 month old silkies seperate from are 1 year old 24 chickens and the 24 year old always get beaten up by are 4 month old silkeis
They make lovely pets, Im so glad my mum decided to get chickens.
Don’t eat them. Be kind!
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.
😢
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.
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 silkie roo is the most dominant Rooster I have which I was surprised at
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
my dad made me a farm lol
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
Where did you buy them?
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.
Whos fucking fault is that?
Where are you? I’m in Florida and I’m wondering how much of an issue heat will be
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.
@@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 :(
@@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.
Thanks so much for all that info, it will come handy
Our one wanted to be a mother and so we got around 10 eggs and now she cares for them with all her heart and its fricking adorable
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.❤
Thank you. Very informative.
I have 4 silkie in my home. Not garden~ Silkie is so cute and lovely companion animal😊
Silkies are cute as heck!!!
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
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
I adopted 2 laying Silkies; purchased a chick, now 13 wks old. They can be feisty lol.
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.
Can you do video about sultan bantam and ko shamo chicken breeds please
Amazing video😎🙋👍👍👍🌹
they are such cute birds love em
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.
Silkie hitam polos kawin dengan putih polos menghasilkan anakan warna apa?
i had some silkies when i was a kid, the rooster of the bunch i had leash trained with a small harness. he loved going on walks with me. he and my favorite hen were killed by a feral cat breaking into the coop
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.
They are beautiful, well all animals are
We have a road island red
Hello,how many eggs do silkies lay in a cluth?
We are going to get one
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
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.
Where can I buy silkies chickens in New York City area! Will travel upstate or in New Jersey!
Please don't coop them up in a boxed Apt!
@@tonyz6421 I don't have any!
My sellky get pecket like 2 times a week
Any gold buff lace rooster for sale.
Poor silkies. They are so very sweet and need lots of love and PROTECTION.
Absolutely! Silkies are such sweet and gentle birds that definitely require extra care and protection.
But dont people raise chickens for food? I wish we loved them instead of killing and eating them like savages.
@@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.
@@Agronomag then why don’t ppl eat each other then?
"that they literally looked like a crested pompom"
can we consume silkie chicken eggs?
They’re perfectly safe to eat like other chicken eggs
Of course.
My family runs a bakery. Their egga are so rich that it is one of our secret ingredients we add for cakd
Yes
The eggs are smaller and silkies dont lay often but silkie eggs taste great
soso cute 😍
✝️😇🔯🕊️🐑🧄🔭🎇🌍🌏🌎🤍🦅🇺🇸🍀Holy Psalm 91 Jesus and KathrynMiller say Thankyou for sharing ✝️🤍✝️🤍✝️🦅🇺🇸🍀🍀🍀
I NEED IT
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
Eggs
I get 5 to 10 in a day
Is has extraordinary immune system ❤ still alive even my entire folks were died 💔
“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.
I don’t listen to robot narrators
That's a lie. They go for chick's 3.00 to 1000.00
Brad over at useless farms does not fit this description at all.
How do these taste in a chicken soup?
They are not edible. So leave them alone, you butcher!!!
You're answer is No
Not sure but may you choke a bone 👍🏼
Probably not that good since they mainly good as mamas and as pets
Eggs are good but wouldn't eat the meat lol
Cluckonomics
I got 2 silkie chicks for 50$ each 😨
You should not have bought. That perpetrates scourge of breeders...
@@Mathin3D yeah, I agree, but those were the only silkies for sale around me, had to drive 7 hrs since there was none else.
@@catherinemosqueda2217 no, not many rooster has the really pompom tail. Look instead its thights, as roosters stand: the rooster will stand a little upright, and a hen is a lot smaller that the males.
You got ripped
