- If you have followed my channel for long you know we love our Silkie chickens! They are fluffy and sweet. Lately we've had quite a few broody hens so we are letting them hatch a few chicks. It's always fun when you go to bed with the anticipation of a new chick the next morning. Lifting up the mama hen to see a new baby chick is so sweet. I get so excited to see what color they are going to be :) Thanks for hangin' out with me here on the Daddykirbs Farm.

I love the sound of baby chicks. It's calming and a happy sound. Congrats Blake on the new babies! :)
Thank Ray, I'm not sure we'll know when to quit! These Silkies are so much fun!
I love the growl mother hens make when it is time for the chicks to sleep.
+Roland Taylor (RolandiXor) I love their noises too :)
I also love it when the chicks make their warning calls lol
They sound like mini-me's to their mothers.
i have silky chickens
I can't get over how pretty your silkies are .... I wonder what they feel like.. their feathers... its almost like fur.
They feel a lot like they look... soft and fluffy :)
I love silkies so much... There the cutest!!!
Aww! So cute and that little chick with the remains of the shell on his head, you had me cheering and laughing! Thanks for sharing Blake, that's one of the nicest Christmas present :)
You heard my dorky chuckle when I *took his helmet off*? I almost edited that out, but then thought nah... let's be real here! LOL
@@daddykirbs it was like something in a cartoon lol
I loved having chickens so much as a kid! The first ones I was able to get were little chicks, just old enough to leave mom. I'd go out every day and find them bugs and all sorts of little treats. They'd run up to me and I'd sit down and talk to them. One might hop on my knee looking for some more yum-yums. It was awesome.
(Sad ending to those chickens though. They randomly got sick and died from something weird. No idea what it was. It was so sad!)
I'm sorry to hear of the sad ending. There are several diseases that can take a flock in a hurry. However, I am very happy that you got to experience having chicks :) Thanks for sharing.

My grandfather used self-selecting bantam hens to foster quail and pheasant eggs, as well as the eggs of other chickens who tended to be careless.
that is such a special episode! Thanks so much Blake for sharing!
I like sharing my chicken videos ***** :) They make me happy!
I can't have chickens here but I'll enjoy them through you :) thanks Blake Kirby
***** I'm glad you do. This is why I share. My chicken videos don't often have "how-to" information, but I'm hoping there are people that enjoy just seeing them :)
I do enjoy seeing them :)
Cute baby chickens... 😪
You've got a good thing going there Blake! Beautiful birds!
I really appreciate that! These Fluffy chickens can change the world one yard at a time ;)
Hi @Blake did you know thatbaby silkies chick in the brooder were looking at you in this video.
i love silkies as you can see, i have a photo of a silkie rooster. we think our silkie just started laying. i really want to buy eggs for her to sit on. but i just love silkies!!!!
The happychicken We are pretty much in love with our Silkies too ;)

+hahahahahagaha babaha Silkies are fun. We love ours.
Silkies are so cute. I keep coming back just to look at them :)

Omg lol! Your little one is so camera shy it ran back inside it's shell
wow this is the first time I've seen this type of chickens they are so cute. Silkie nice they look like they kept the baby fur when they were chicks.
Yep, their feathers never stick together like normal chickens :)
Very Nice
Aw they are gorgeous.
This is honestly amazing. Just makes me so happy. Wish i had my own chicks now.
Great video!
Best line: "...let nature take its course..."
Thanks, Blake.
I know.. I was kind of embarrassed to leave that in the video because we've tried so hard in the past to protect the chicks by keeping them in a brooder without a mama hen. I still think that way is ok, but we have noticed that the chicks grow up more aware and adapted when we leave then in the yard with the mama. One of the turning points for us was when our favorite hen died. After that all the chickens looked like chickens instead of pets. *We still love them very much* but now are more willing to let them be what they are... chickens :)
Wow so cute nice chickens, good luck Blake and all the best to you.
Frank
Thanks Frank :) I appreciate the kind post!
So cute!!!
Oh there are so cute....😍
SO CUTE!!!!
Subscribing but wish I would have found this channel sooner! Great informative videos, plus you're a constant reminder of how I want to eventually live my life.
Love!
Chick:I Want My Mama!Waaaaaaaaaaah
Congrats man
*I Want Chickens!*
Ok, I know I have to find a suitable place to live before I can get any but hopefully sometime soon....sometime soon I'll be able to make this become a reality! :-)
*Nice Video **Blake Kirby**, Thank You For Sharing!*

I am in the city limits.. they dont allow chickens here.... or I'd think about it. But then.... Ruppert would probably want to chase them and eat them. sigh.
dorothy . Ruppert is your dog? Is this the Dachshund? Our dogs give the chickens a hard time sometimes, but none of them have hurt any. I know not all dogs are so restrained :)
I know the feeling, this is why I'm really desiring to get out into the country ASAP! Still haven't found anything...gurr. I'm waiting on the man upstairs at this point. :-)
Patience may friend ***** ... patience and your lands will be full of Silkies. :) ( _look I'm a prophet_ )
Hmm.. Dachshunds were raised for hunting. He goes after squirrels, chipmunks, birds and etc. He got hold of a bird once... gore and feathers everywhere.
I am getting silkies to be my mamas
+ANIMAL EXTRA FUN You won't regret that :)
nice silkies you should give us an update you havent in a while
I'm going to do an update soon that shows all the birds. I have ducks, chickens and a goose. Are you only interested in the Silkies?
Well I have only looked at your silkies videos ill go look at your other videos now
I would love to have a silkie but apparently they do bad in hot weather and I am getting 3 and they are all different breeds and I don't want the other breeds to pick on or kill the silkie because it is an outsider by its looks. ;-;
+BellaButton We live in Texas where it get pretty hot. They do ok for us :) Just provide shade and plenty of fresh water.
Blake Kirby Thanks! Also, would a cochin, a silkie, and a buff orphington get along alright if they are raised together?
BellaButton It's hard to say for certain, but my opinion is yes.
Blake Kirby thanks! one last question, is there a favorite color for silkies in your opinion?
BellaButton everyone has their own favorites! Many people like pure white Silkies because they represent "pure" Silkies. I like the softer lavender color. We've only had a couple of those. Some are a mix of colors like the one right now we call Dot. My wife really loves her. Here is a link to her on my instagram feed. instagram.com/p/BC_a344FNUN/?taken-by=daddykirbs
We dont put the chicks under the lamp anymore. We now let the broods take care of them. :)
new subscriber😊
Yay! thanks :)
I have 1 broody silkie hen
IH I was wondering I got some silky chicks and was wondering how long they need to be under a heat lamp and also if they go broody and have silky eggs under them if I were to replace them with my Rhode Island red chickens eggs if they will still sit on them and hatch them out and raise them?
+Keith Kratzer Baby chicks need to be under a heat source until fully feathered. This could be 4 or 5 weeks or so. Once they have feathers and the temps are around 70 or above... you will be ok to turn the heat source off. Yes, your Silky will gladly sit on eggs that aren't hers ;)
I want a silkie but i think there are not any in my country
I have a 15 week old silkie and they are just the sweetest age is shy because we got her today but o love her
Do you recommend silkies for a fancy chicken project? Thanks!
+E Hatherill Our family loves the Silkies. I recommend them whenever I can :)
do you know when silkies start laying we have 4 and there all about 27 weeks old
we wanted to know when to start expecting eggs
+Bunny Gaming Should be soon. They can start laying around 21 weeks, but some mature a little later. Be patient... you will get eggs, well unless your Silkies start crowing instead LOL
Blake Kirby Hhaha well lets hope they dont crow! thankyou for the help
Hello Dear Can you tell me about more of the Silkies hens.I get one the owner tell me she is 2 tears old. But she look older Faces and toes too.Plus he say she lay eggs. With all the stress to move from her coop to a quite house.. How long take she start again lay egg do you know.. Oh I need to put her outside and make small coop for her.. What do you think.. I like her like a pet but if she lay egg will be better , The Owner no giving me to much answers ..God Bless ; I hope soo see you answer me ..
Older hens will slow down egg production, or even stop altogether. Maybe she's older than 2 years? Give her time outdoors on grass and in the sunshine. Give her also a comfortable clean nest box. I can't say for sure what will work, but it would be nice for her to have those things to be happy with her life. Thanks for loving her.
i have chickens i just subscribed to you and i love all your vidoes i doint have Silkie chicks yet but i like to get some
sarah roth Silkies are amazing :)
hi
we want seillik how mast cast
How many days does it take for the eggs to hatch
+millasont anderson Chicken eggs hatch in 21 days from the first day they are incubated.
+Blake “Daddykirbs” Kirby ok, because my silkie has been sitting on her eggs for 21 days and they haven't hatched, and when I candle them I can see them moving around but they are not making any noises.
millasont anderson Be patient for a few days. 21 is the ideal number, but sometimes conditions aren't ideal. Try not to bother the broody hen much. She knows what she is doing :)
How do you know what color chicks your going to have
You can kinda guess by the baby feathers, but you won't really know until they grow up and start getting real feathers.
Thanks but I guess what Im asking is Do you get certain colors by making sure the parents are the same color
James Ruland If you have very pure blood lines of solid whites or black, maybe you could get a very high percentage of those colors, but ours have so many colors in them that it's always a surprise :) We kinda like the surprises! I'm sorry I can't be more help with that question.
No thats helpful enough my daughter just got 15 chicks 3 different colors thats why im asking
how much is it
