Stacey- if you're referring to the silkies that I gave you, they were trying to cover the other chicks that were the same age with their wings at night when I had them. So...you might be in luck, they might just take to it!

Mix of Bantam pullets free to good home in the Scottsdale Arizona area. 2 silkies, 3 Easter eggers, 2 Barred Rocks. Would like to keep them all together. They are friendly enough to eat out of your hand, but not used to being handled alot. Please contact me for information.

I know what you mean by nitrates being a trigger...but whether they are just a trigger, or if they are actually a cause in and of themselves is something I'm not sure medical science has figured out yet? I was wondering though.....how many migraine sufferers who also have thyroid problems...

No red hair here, just blonde....I think my real color is darker(I think it's dark ashy blonde?), but it's been a LOOOOONNNGGG time since I started coloring it blonde, and I'm not about to stop and find out now!

I'm so happy that you rescued her! She's adorable! :clap Add me to the list of Min-pin fans! I have a 10 year old black and tan, Zeus. He's lived up to his name, especially in his younger years! He's slowing down in his old age though...although he's still active by compared to any other...

No, uh....irrigation water...lol...not sure where it comes from (I think it's a well?), but you're not supposed to drink it, I know that. I've decided to lock them in for a couple of days. They have a huge coop for just the 7 of them, so they'll survive just fine...and I'll give them a...

Should I allow our 10wk old chicks out while our yard is being irrigated? Here is a picture of their run. The water only gets a couple of inches deep, and absorbs within a day or two. Should I just keep them in? This is the first time it's been irrigated since they've had their run.

How high should a nest box that is being shared with a silkie be from the ground?

They are 10 weeks old tomorrow! We have been away for 2 weeks, and I was shocked by how much they have grown! Our caretaker said that she heard one of them attempting to crow, but I haven't heard it. Do you see any of these that look cockerel-ish?? I had thought it'd be the ?-colored Ee...

My chicks are 10 weeks old now... at what age should I put in nest boxes? If I put them in before they are laying, will they just poop in there?

Yes, although I found last year, when both of my horses were in the midst of the fire, that the coverage was just the very same tape being played over and over and over, and very little new information....I was in AZ glued to the TV, sobbing, not knowing if my horses were dead or alive. The...

Here is a list of treats you can try with your girls. I'd be a little concerned about giving them pasta and rice, since there isn't much nutrition in it. If they seem a little light, I'd try to get them to eat something a little more dense in nutrition...
