How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] Black Silkies

Ohh h she cried. She's scared and homesick, poor babe. She'll settle in quickly though with your petting and talking to her. 
I had to run a heat lamp for my serama chicks tonight, the low is 55. My hens have so many chicks they can't keep them all warm since I removed the older silkie chicks from the barn. The silkie chicks are bigger than the adult seramas. There are 4 hens/pullets sitting on eggs due to start hatching any day from my hens and pullets with my roosters from Jerry.

                         Just put my black silkies to bed.  They are with the other 4 around the same age.  Of course, these young ones need to learn.  One went to bed the other ran off.  When I finally caught her, she cried like a baby -- like she is and I petted her and told her it was night night time.
I like all the hens I have -- what personalities -- no 2 alike!

 Yay Laurie!!! I am so happy you have silkies now too!!! Polish have regular feathers and hat of feathers on top of their heads like an umbrella of messy feathers, yellow skin, and 4 toes. Silkies are covered in down, have feathered feet, black/blue skin and beaks.
