Is there a larger breed of silkie or variety? Sorry, just slightly clueless here.

One better than the other and do you know where to buy them?

So my brother saw a show on TV and they had black meat chickens on the show. I have looked a little and figured out that silkies can or do have black meat. Does anyone know of a "meat" chicken and is standard size that has black meat? Thanks!

So I have 6 chicks that are seven weeks old now. I have them in my garage in a kiddy pool with 4 foot chicken fence around it, occasionally I will turn on the heat lamp on the colder nights. I am not able to hold them a lot because the fence is high and I am afraid of them getting loose in the...

Well I was going to get a red eglu cube but they are sold out until january. So what are the amish ones?

Near Peoria and it would be nice to keep it under $1000.

So I am looking for a coop kit that I can put together and is good quality. No idea who makes a good kit or what makes a good kit and I live in central illinois so shipping may be an added cost. I would like a 3x4, 4x4, 3x5 something like that. It will be in my backyard and my wife really...

So, no quality wooden coops out there? Or other plastic options that anyone has opinion on?

No natural predators than I'm aware of. We have a completely enclosed solid fence for our backyard. I have checked the local Craigslist and there really is nothing. I could screw the Eglu to the ground.

So, I have been looking at Eglu Cubes and just am not a 100% convinced that they are the best option. What is everyones favorite plastic coop and I was also wondering what are the best wooden coops? I live in town and have six little 3 week old chicks and would like something that is easy to...

What is your lot line setback? What is your set back from a neighboring dwelling?

So I recently was able to talk the Planning Commission for the City to accept the idea of allowing chickens in city limits. There is however significant concern with how close the to lot lines to permit a chicken coop to be and how close to a neighboring dwelling to permit a chicken coop. The...

I guess I should specify a little ... the chicks are going to be in central illinois, so the temperature ranges are from zero degrees to 100 degrees. (love the Illinois weather!)

If you could only have 4 hens for use in town (meaning no loud/noisy varieties please) which breed(s) would you choose? They can be four different breeds, just for variety or all the same breed. Trying to get some opinions. And if you want you could recommend a hatchery or breeder of the...
