I hope we haven't missed anything, but if we have we would really like to hear from you in the comments!
ABOUT US
We are Bill and Rebecca and this is Birch Moon Farm. A simple living homestead/farmstead where we try to practice a simply sustainable lifestyle. In 2015 we purchased 5+ acres in the Vermont hills and for the first 18 months lived in a 250 sq ft RV, while we built our own house (with lots of help from amazing friends and family), 3 sheds, a driveway, water well, septic, 2 chicken coops.
So what made us do all this in our late 40's early 50's? Well, in 2013 Rebecca was diagnosed with breast cancer and mostly everything that goes with that type of diagnosis. And this all happened 6 months after our wedding. So after about 10 months of treatments, a couple of surgeries, chemo and radiation, we had had enough. We no longer subscribed to what people call the "American Dream". And we didn't want to wait until we were in our late 60's to live our dream. So we sold or gave away everything we owned, and took all our assets and started to live our dream where we would try to be as self sufficient as possible. Do we always succeed? Nope! But we try! And in the end, isn't that all that matters?
Birch Moon Farm is now home to 2 humans, 2 cats, one dog and lots of silkie chickens! Follow along with us while we build our homestead one project at a time.

Good information, clearly delivered, good presentation, answered some questions I had about Silkies, no long intro or rambling! Great video, subscribing thanks!
@@JasonEngman Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for the wealth of info!! I was gifted silkies for Mother's day 10 days ago. Yes, I was raised on a farm but we didn't have these lil precious silkies. I'd love to eventually consider small scale breeding them as locally folks want them.
So, let me introduce my flock of 10 days. I have a black Rooster Ricky "Stanley" Very light crow but he's timid. Also 2 white ladies (Ethel & Lucy) that were laying but when gifted to me, now aren't (only had for 10 days). And they are dirty not white like they are supposed to be (how do I clean them) they also are skidish! 😏 but I also have smaller ones. 1 solid black and tall as the lil roo is Tina Turner. Then a step down smaller is the silver/blue Cindy Lauper. Then even smaller is solid black with a white line speckle necklace colar, Joan Jett. Then we have the smallest of all, silver blue & black, Stevie Nicks! I had another like her, Pat Benetar but she passed on day 8 😥 right after a cold snap we had in NC.
Then the only one laying is a black with white spots Bardrock and her name is Janet Jackson (she's a lil bigger than the silkies and used to being free range and don't like being cooped up at all!) The silkie Roo is even trying to do his thing with her. She's 1 year old and skidish as well. But she's a faithful layer minus day one.
*Notice a pattern here in names 80s hairband ladies names. They are precious and I want to cuddle them, luv on em but none will come to me except Stevie Nicks and she's iffy.
I have a 8x5' coop with a 8x4' run and additional 8x6' foot dog lot run all covered.
I can't get the little ones up in it as they huddle in corner of the bottom and I can't get to them to put them up and when I do, they come down the ramp! I hung a towel to block the wind in that corner.
Do I need to do something on inside of coup on the bottom for them? Do I need a laying bin just for them low down. I've got so many questions and so many opinions are given but you've had these lil preciousnesses for 3 years you said & I think your knowledge is credible with experience. Please feel free to private message me if you find time. You can even call as I'd prefer that. Love love your babies. Thanks for sharing and God bless you for your time. Love & prayers
Good Morning from Kingsland, Georgia! Your video was sooo helpful! This morning I'm getting my first ever chicken coop for free (and I just turned 60 last month! 😂) and I can't wait!!! 🤗 I too was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. I hope we can become friends from afar! I'm really excited to get started. I've been told by the gentleman whose giving me the coop that a guy he works with has "Banyons and Silkies" for sale so that's how I found your video to learn more about Silkies. 😊
Ur non beared silkies is the same I bought silkie chicks and one of them pompom walked right up to my cat and peaked her in the face misty my cat ran straight away from pompom🤣
I have the most beautiful little sizzle hen and I just worship her. My chickadees live full time in my two car garage because I'm so worried about predators (we have coyotes and foxes very close). I don't know what I would do if I lost one. They have a sand bath and toys and they roost in a kid's playhouse. She is definitely my favorite chicken. She follows me around the house, she's always at my feet and she comes when called. She's also a little brat lol
Beautiful silkies
Thanks for all the great information! This is my first year for silkies and it has been a bit of a learning curve. I had to build a new ramp so that they could go up into the coop and it took 3 weeks to teach them to coop up at night, instead of just piling up in a corner. Beautiful and sweet birds but not very smart! I just love them!!
Glad it was helpful! No, they arent the brightest. Good thing they are cute! LOL!
Actually, they are not dumb. I have several that know their names and one came when called by 8 weeks, (I'd be amazed if a puppy was doing that!) They are slower to mature and sleep like that because when young it's comforting. They don't like heights or high nest boxes. They are ground birds. Secure the coop so it accommodates the Silkies or get a different breed.
The novelty of how they look shouldn't override their special qualities.
Thank you for making this video! Such great information! I just got chicks and I have been a little worried about the winter time, but you have definitely helped me figure out how I’ll take care of my sweet chicks!!
This was a great video, I appreciate that you explained so much about the silkies ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Im excited to find another youtuber that talks about chickens. Especially silkies.
I first got 2 silkie chicks(light gray and dark gray)…both boys. Got 4 more (2 splash, 2 white)…only one girl! 😂 what’s funny is I didn’t know what gender they were until we got a rainstorm so I brought the silkies in. Out of the shadow of my full size roosters, they started crowing immediately!! Once it was dry I put them back outside…no more silkie crowing. 😂
Great topic coverage❤
This is my first time with any kind of chicken. I got 5 silkies, and they're 3 weeks old now. I'm hoping I have at least a couple of pullets, but from everything I've read it's going to be quite some time before I know.
It rains a lot where I live, so it's going to be exciting to figure that out.
Great Video! Very Informative really enjoyed watching it. As well as all your videos. ❤️Thank You
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I got a couple of Silkies for the roosters I hatched (first hatch) now I'm addicted! As you say they're only a third of a regular chicken - so I can get 3!
Dont you just love chicken math! LOLOL
Thank you! Just traded some faverolles for silkies. I had no knowledge about them. Your video really helped.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful thank you!
wonderful Video, I love silkies... thanks for the silkie info
I adore Silkies ❤
I know that silkys are broody and they are very cute, but I still prefer my little white sultan pullet. I know she's a non setter, but Sophia is the sweetest little couch potato you ever did meet and she is a perfect companion bird for me and my severely cross beaked Americana. The other thing is that she is not even as fast as a silky, but I love the way she moves. I suspect someone bred a IAM cremani with a sultan and had a sporatic mutation to get primarily down feathers.
Oh she sounds so cute! There are so many wonderful chicken breeds out there!
@@birchmoonfarm101 thanks. The other thing I am finding out as Sophia is reaching maturity is that sultans cluck but they also do a sultan version of singing that is particularly endearing.
Interesting--I don't think I'll have Silkies--sounds like they're probably expensive. Congrats on going over a thousand subs...
Thanks!
Thanks
Awesome video, you answered all my questions thanks!
Just hatched out my first micro
This is really great information! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
We just bought some show quality bearded silkies they where $45 apiece but come from good show lines i hope we win come fair time we got 3 hens and 1 rooster the rooster is white the hens are Partridge buff and splash
That is awesome and exciting!
This Video Was Very Helpful. Thank You So Much!
You're welcome!
Cc de France. Merci surt toutes les questions. Que je me posait. Vous. Y avez repondu et tres bien expliquer. Votre élevage est magnifique 👍🙏😘🌹
Merci! :)
Nice video liked very much. Thank you
Thanks for the visit!
You are right about been loud. My ginger nut Rosie tells the whole neighbourhood that she is going to lay an egg 🤣. The eggs are very yummy and creamy. I love the large yokes it is the best part. They make cakes taste better too. We have our 2 silkie hens in a mini coop (we got from Bunnings Warehouse) they live inside in our sun room as we live near a forest and there are too many spiders and snakes to live outside. They wonder around the house if they own the place. As we are in Brisbane Australia and it is summer here now and very hot. The girls keep cool with ice water and frozen berries (as well as all their other food) I also give them ice bricks to sit on of a night to keep cool.
They are very loving and loved to be on your lap to be patted. They also love a cool bath and love the hair dryer on low. We love our girls ❤️
Keep safe in these hard times. Love Kas 🌈🐨💕🇦🇺
Hi Kas! I LOVE egg song! Does Lady join in? Our whole flock seems to join into any egg song they can. 😂😂 I love hearing how your babies are taken care of and loved. 😍 Talk to you soon my friend!
awesome job! great video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Silky chicken's are so cute
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Good video. I confess, I am obsessed with Silkies. I hatched them on my counter and now I have 15ish. They get along well, have best friends and are so cuddly sweet. Hatchery silkies are not the way to go if you want pet or show quality. They are extra broody, and cranky! Pets come from parent birds that have been spoiled and not left in the cold...all chickens want some heat in the winter, in my opinion. If you want a production bird try a different bantam.
Great help
Thank Very Much awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Thanks for your video,I really enjoy I’m in Montreal I have a silky she still young I’m very happy I just hope she won’t be to much laude in the apartment
I hope so too! 😀
@@birchmoonfarm101 thanks
@@birchmoonfarm101 can you help me please, just tell what I have to do, my chicken has mites and I also have in the house, I have in my had , please what I have to do, thanks
Thanks for the great video
Our pleasure 😊
I have a black Wilkie and it is always alone and try to stay the farthest it can from the other normal chicken.and what do you feed your silkiest.
Mostly silkies need other silkies or bantams.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
I love it
I just want them for pets and for eggs. I live alone and want the eggs for my personal use. How many chickens would I need for a personal food supply. I’m new at this so don’t laugh at my questions please.
Hi, this is a safe place to ask questions 🙂 Silkies lay about 100 eggs a year so you might want at least 2, so they dont get lonely, and to have a fresh supply of eggs for one person.
Same I have 4 and that's the perfect for me but u think 2 or 3 is perfect also yes there are the best pet mine will literally follow me around the house and yes if u looking for a pet yes there are the best😁🥰
I have six hands and one rooster is a silky. We have had roosters before and they’ve always gotten a bit aggressive. Because of the silkies small stature do they stay a bit docile and friendly. I am terrified I’ll have to give it a little silky away if he gets mean.
It really depends on their personalities and hormones. If you are watching to be sure they are okay, I bet everything will work out
Wow i love your videos it's very good from Thailand❤️
Glad you like them!
How are your Silkys doing
Who is the instagrammer you mentioned who has the silkies in Miami? ☺️ I am in Miami and I’d love to follow them to learn more. (:
I havent been able to find her recently and dont remember her account name. But, you can usually tell its her because she posts the chicken on her tiled floor and on the balcony in her high-rise and you could see the causeway from her balcony. Sorry! If I find her I will let you guys know.
Great information, thank you! We are planning on getting Silkie chickens as pets for our family. We have sectioned off a big part of the garden for them and have a wooden playhouse that we would like to convert into a house for them. Do you have any info on what we need to get started? Or what features the chicken house should have? The best way to feed and water them? We are planning on getting between 4 or 6 Silkies. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! So nice to hear that you are getting silkies! Silkies have the same needs as other chickens. Since they are smaller, keep roosts and ramps on the shorter side. Keep them dry and out of direct cold winds. Fresh feed and water should be provided to them daily.
@@birchmoonfarm101 thanks so much for the reply! We bought home 3 8month old Silkie hens and a lovely Silkie rooster yesterday. They have lovely fresh wood shaving bedding, fresh food and water every day and seem to be enjoying lots of space in the garden and one of them particularly enjoys cuddles with my son. Today i got them some grit and I built a perch for them to roost on in their coop and a better ramp to get up to it. In their previous home they didn’t have a perch or a ramp so they are struggling a bit with it and don’t seem to be taking themselves into the coop at night yet. We have been putting them in the coop by hand at dusk so far so hopefully they will get the hang of it soon 🤞
@@tommynewman6376 Awwww! I am SO happy for you! Yeah some silkies roost and some sleep in a silkie pile. You are right, they will learn that the coop is their home. It took ours a couple of weeks before they got it. 😂 A light in the coop can help too so it doesnt look so scary LOL Sounds like your new babies are going to be spoiled! I love it!
@@birchmoonfarm101 A light sounds like a great idea! I will give that a try tonight 🙂 I have just found your Instagram page and have given you a follow so you can see them in their new home. And if you don’t mind I imagine we might have a couple more questions for you sometime. Thank you so much for all your help! It’s very reassuring having someone who knows that they are doing.
You are VERY welcome! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and I will check out your babies on Instagram. We also have a Facebook page we would love to see pictures as well if you are so inclined :) Thanks for visiting the farm!
What bedding are you using. ??
Pine shavings :)
Your video has urged me to have these beautiful birds.
I have a silkie😍😍
I bring my 2 adult silkies in the house to sleep. They are amazing little buddies.
I love having them in the house. Their noises are soothing. 💜
@@birchmoonfarm101 I think so too. My husband calls my rooster the little A$$hole. He plays tag by dancing up and biting your toes. Then, I swear, he laughs and runs. I love it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how much for a pair of them?
It can depend on quality, but these are not for sale
Are Silkie roosters friendly too because i want to get a silkie but im worried about getting an aggressive rooster
They are a friendlier breed, but some roosters can be just as aggressive as standard size roosters. The difference is that they cant do as much damage as big roosters. My adult roosters weigh about 3-4 pounds, and when I had a standard size rooster he was 12 pounds.
@@birchmoonfarm101 ok thanks
Omg my silkies are so aggressive. They beat up everybody. I have a huge regular rooster that they beat up all the time. I had to separate the two silkies. They are about 6 months old and they are roosters. They crow all day long.
HAHAHA yep ours crow all day long too. If they are 6 months then they are in that "teenager" stage and coming into their hormones. Hopefully in the next few months they will calm down for you!
First time silky chicken owner. I was wondering. Can you breed silky chickens with another breed of chicken?
Basically yes
Im from india God's own country thanks for deeply explained about silkie hen and information 👍
You are very welcome
I'm from india and love watching your videos . I own a couple of silkies but suddenly they all have Stopped laying eggs since last month , I'm feeding them with layer feed but getting the same issue no eggs can you guide me and how much is there male female ratio please do mention. Thanks in advance
So nice of you, and sorry to hear that! There could actually be quite a few things that can effect egg production. There are really great links in this video's description that can help you determine what is going on. There are also links to silkie specific Facebook Pages, one of them being Silkie Chicken World with members worldwide and they are always willing to help. Especially since you are in India.
But let me steer you in the right direction. First things: Add more light during early morning into early night. Add more nutritional treats once to twice a week (we use black sunflower seeds) to your already good feed.
Health: inspect for lice/mites and treat if necessary. If you dont already, provide additional vitamins to your monthly routine. We use Rooster Booster and NutriDrench. Not sure what is available in your area, but if you can find similar items this can help. I hope that helps!
I have 4 silkie chicks that are about 3 months old. 1 of them is bigger then the others and no longer has the fluff on top of the head. Do you think that one could be a roster?
Unfortunately silkies are hard to sex unless you get a DNA test or wait until 4-6 months old. Or unless they are crowing really early. I had two chicks that were one week old and were both crowing. Wait just a little longer and you should know soon.
My first chicken is half silki and have Americana which explain why she has 9 toes and her small size.
Awwww! She must be so cute!
Is it possible to keep only hens without a rooster? We live in a semi-rural environment, but we do have one neighbor fairly close by, and I worry about too much noise and being the hated resident. If not, are they like other birds where you can entertain them with stuff, and they are quieter? If so, what entertainment do you suggest?
Yes, you only need a rooster if you want to hatch chicks 🐣 they will always make noise 😊 but aren’t super loud. We lived in town and one of our neighbors who’s backyard joined ours had 5-6 chickens and I didn’t know until we had been there for 5 years 🤣🤣🤣
@@birchmoonfarm101 thanks! I expect chicken noises, but I am unsure if a rooster would bother people. I will have to hear the roosters to see just how loud they are. If they’re loud like our African Greys used to be, it’ll be a “no eggs” kind of deal…just muppet-chickens…😄
DEFINITLY not as loud as an African Grey! My daughter has one of those. I would guess about 2/3 less. 😆
@@birchmoonfarm101 that sounds much more tolerable. I really want to know as much as possible before I start. I don’t want to regret anything.
Yes definitely not as Loud an an African grey my lord neighbor has one about 5 acres away & it sounds like a kid being beat with a stick thing is sooooo loud! I actually thought it was a kid screaming for about two years. The hens can get kind of Bocky but it’s not bad & my rooster that I believe is roughly a year old has not even crude wants. I don’t know if he’s intimidated by my golden laced CrestedPolish or what , but he won’t make a noise.
I was just wondering do you have other chickens that intermingle with your Silkies?
We dont, but we used to. We sold our big girls last spring.
What is their lifespan? I plan to get one or two hens as pets to travel with me. It would be more of a pet than an eggs producer. Cheers from Canader eh!
Lifespan can be anywhere from a few days old to 7-10 years from what I hear.
What do you sale silkies for. I started with 2 now I got 9
We sell day old chicks for $15 each
Thanks for this video! Can u share the IG of the Miami condo Silkies please? Thx 😄🐓🐓
I have tried to find her and havent seen her for a long time. If I see her I will be sure get her info.
where did you get the silkies?
I got my first 3 from a local farm store, then the rest are from local breeders in the New England region. If you are in the New England area, let me know if you specifically want to know who I get them from and I will be happy to tell you.
@@birchmoonfarm101 thank you so much! you are so kind❤️ I'm in central FL and looking for local farmer. I can find other breed easily but not silkie🤔 I'll keep looking 👍
i have two silkie roosters, but they are bigger than normal silkies for some reason.
It can depend on breeding or they are a silkie mix
Hi,Is there any difference in silkies and miniature silkies??? Tx
Hi, I am unsure if there are mini's. Ours are bantams (small) and there is a standard size.
I have wanted chickens for the last 4 years. Last July my daughter found a baby chick in the parking lot where she works and asked if I wanted her. So I have a beautiful Rhode island red. We have our coop up and I have a huge fenced in yard but my baby still stays inside at night. I am ready to get my harem and I would like to add a silkie. My husband is worried that our big girl will be jealous and not get along with other chickens. Do silkies do well in a mixed group? I had planned on getting 2 more Rhodes and a silkie. Or 1 moreRhode and 2 silkies. I am only planning on 4. I think my Chicky Baby will be happy with friends. What do you think?
Hi Saline, I am excited for you guys! Chickens are a wonderful creatures. Yes, silkies get along with standard size girls as long as one of the two things happen. They grow up together as chicks, or you get at least 3 silkies to integrate into your flock. Chickens are much happier when they are part of a flock. If you introduce slowly once the silkie chicks are grown, they should do well together.
From experience is just like dogs bigger chickens will pick on smaller chickens silkies, are a bantam breed, or basically like a miniature Doberman and they will get picked on. They are a very very docile breed and they won’t even defend themselves. Sadly my silky hen actually picks on the silky rooster because she’s bigger. The dozen Highlander hens that I have they have never seen a rooster beat up the silky rooster. To say the least, they are at the bottom of the pecking order of almost all the chicken breeds, but they are some of the best mamas. I’d suggest different chickens then Rhode Island reds. If you have a rooster, you will find out what I’m talking about. They will run you out of your own yard unless you handle them every single day as a baby. Jersey giants are even more friendly than reds. And I am currently breeding CrestedPolish breeds. Hoping to get my silver laced CrestedPolish rooster to fertilize my showgirl silky eggs. They would make some beautiful babies with really big hair. 😂😊
My silkie just died 🥺😢. I think she choked on her food 😞... she was my baby Miss her ❤️ she was 5 months so idk what I did 😞
Please don’t blame yourself! Sounds like just had a defect of some kind. Chickens are just like humans. They can have health problems too.
It is silkie
How do you remember all their names? 😆
Thankfully not all of them have names yet (white ones), or I am not sure how I could! 😂😂
I had a couple of white silkies but a dog got inside my chicken coop and kill the rooster, now my hen is by her self. Can I get a new rooster for her or getting her a new rooster will be dangerous for her? because now that she is by her self other rooster are picking on her head.... of course I already have her in a different place so she is not in danger.
Im so sorry for the loss of your baby! Separating her was very good to do. Can she see the other chickens? If you can do that, that is best, but if not, place a mirror in her pen with her and try to find another rooster, which should be easy since everybody tries to rehome their roosters. Try to find a reputable breeder because they are careful about diseases. Quarantine him then slowly introduce and they should be fine.
@@birchmoonfarm101I don't know who pecked her, if it was the other rooster or the chickens! She is currently inside my house 😁. Her rooster was so protective and didn't allowed any of the others get closer to her. I will see if the same person who sold me them have any roosters.
Thank you so much for replying back. Now I'm more confident to get her a new partner.
So happy I could help! Good luck and keep us informed on her, and your progress.
I love your beautiful video:)
Thank you so much!
Do you have a website for hatching eggs?
Hi, unfortunately no. We make announcements on our Facebook page if we have anything available. Birch Moon Farm, Vermont.
do they prefer to be with another silkie or are they happy alone?
They need to have a companion and dont do well alone.
@@birchmoonfarm101 cool thank you 🙂
I bought 3 showgirls for 450$ and they are wonderful! I plan on renting a rooster to breed them with.
That is awesome!
One kg price.
How much for a SILKIE EGG OR eggs
It depends on the quality of silkies. I have paid $40 - $100 for 12-20 silkie eggs. I do try to get the highest quality I can find though.
Am I the only person who makes hard boiled eggs and then only eats the yolk?😂
🙋🙋🙋😀
My silkies are very strong, they eat everything, love rice and meat ... not corn in any way.
Thats so good!
How can you trim a silkie?
Hi, what are you trying to do?
Trying to trim my dilkie around eyes...she can't see...
Yes, you can trim around their eyes. I have done it to some of mine.
How? Am so afraid
This is what I have done in the past. I take long scissors and place it along their head by their eyes. Do not put the pointy end anywhere near their eyes. Holding firmly in a towel, trim tiny little bits off at a time. I also try to cut at an angle by tilting the top edge of the scissors away from the head a little. You can try that or use blue painters tape or the fabric tape in the first aid section of the store and make a pony tail at the top of her head. Mine look really funny but their poof is out of their eyes. LOL They look at me now as if they have never seen me before. LOL I have a video coming out soon where I show their little funny hair dos.
🌷👍♥️
انا احبكي كثيرآ واحب مقاطع الفديو الخاصه بكي واحب دجاجك السلكي واتمنى ان التقي بيكي شخصيا انتي جدا رائعه ومهذبه وحنونه
Thank you!!!
How do you get silkies to be quiet?
I dont know of a way to keep chickens quiet
@@birchmoonfarm101 well uh I have another question do silkies lay eggs alone?
I'm sorry for the delayed response. If you mean with no rooster, the answer is yes
Have a good day!
J
Do Silkies do a lot of poop please?
Since they are smaller than regular size chickens, they have smaller poops. But they are still chickens and poop a lot.
My silkie i got from tractor supply turned out to be a rooster and all he wants to do is attack me im so disappointed cause i see all these people on UA-cam with their silkie rooster among them and the hens i have to keep my rooster separated im so disappointed over this i love this lil guy i raised him but he's turned into this little evil turd
Thanks
