I’m just east of Salt Lake City in Utah. Tractor supply is the only place I know of where I can buy stuff. Is there a good place to buy online? Thanks for the reply.

I have this little hen, probably 6-8 months old who was struggling to get her eye open in the morning. I’d take a warm rag and rub her eyes until she was good to go, this was at the same time it was getting cold for the first time in her life so I thought it was crusty eyes due to that. Shortly...

I’ve noticed a few days ago I had a girl with some eyes stuck shut. I took a warm rag and helped her open them only for them to be stuck shut the next day too. She’s acting slightly lethargic and waddles when she walks so I brought her inside and she’s been quarantined from the flock. I went to...

I’ve had chickens for 18 months now and I am going through the same exact problem. Over the winter she went broody 3-4 times. Spring and summer at least 2 more times. I finally let her hatch a few thinking she’d knock it off afterwards, but I was wrong. They hatched around the start of august...

Nope, but I can certainly go get some! Thanks

It hatched via mama bird no less than 3 days ago, and this whole time fine. I come home from work and it isn’t standing on one leg and has this red spot on its... knee? I don’t know if a bigger bird crushed it. I think one managed to get to them today, or if it just had shit luck. Is there...

I am thinking about keeping the partridge silkie I got and cross it with the satin silkie. Would this do anything weird? I’ve never tried to breed before let alone cross breed. Top is the satin and a hen, bottom is partridge and a rooster.

Whoops! Just added one, it’s prettt much non existent

First one is my partridge silkie, Shirley Jones. Second is a barnyard mix sanders. Third a satin silkie named oinkers. On a curious thought, if i let Shirley and oinkers breed would i some really weird silkies?

Did my first ever hatch a week ago which is resulting in me owning chickens for the first time. I know nothing. My first to hatch was my one and only silkie to hatch (had 7 others out of 12 hatch) so I’d really like to help her out and keep her. Her legs/feet naturally are up by her face. She...

I’ve just hatched my first ever chicks and planning on raising my first ever chickens. The very first one to hatch was a silkie! She is extremely small and so was her egg, But something was wrong with it. Her legs go out to the side and when flopping around her legs would occasionally hook her...
