Do you think that silkies are a hard chicken to rear as they are prone to disease.

Hi Alan, what about silkie crosses? Crossed with the same kind of hen as a battery hen? I have 6 of those chicks 2 weeks old and they are gorgeous, how old do they need to be before I can sex them, and take them away from their mother???(Being raised by a White Sussex Bantam)(Wicked clockers/brooders)... :D

Alan,  

I'd love to see some pictures of your silkies.  Would you be able to post any pictures of them in the poultry pictures sticky in this section.  :D
