Curious to hear some thoughts/advice about this. I got a message last night from someone telling me that their neighbor got silkies and put them in with their other chickens, including some very aggressive roosters. They were getting picked on so badly that she was afraid they were going to be...

My best friend who also raises chickens just had one of hers get attacked by a hawk. There's no visible wounds or blood but it came down on her back pretty hard and she can only stand with support. It seems like it may be her back and neck area that's the problem but otherwise she's fine. She...

So, I have an interesting situation. About 4 weeks ago, I went outside to check on my chickens to find 2 hawks in the pen with them. I had no idea what to do, but as I ran toward the pen I spooked them and they flew away-with my favorite silkie, Mabel in one of their talons. She's the...

This morning I went outside to feed my silkies and one of them was laying in her nesting box with her head tucked underneath of her, dead. She seemed perfectly fine yesterday and I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the cause of this could have been? Thanks.

I picked up two new silkies this morning, both pullets. Normally I get chicks very young and they stay clean, so ive never had to deal with a dirty pullet before. When I got them they have poopy feathers and smell. Im guessing theyre like 3 and a half months old. Should i give them a bath...

I live in Lancaster County and am looking for two silkie pullets with unique/pretty colors like lavender and porcelain. Preferably close enough for a local pickup. My favorite little splash silkie passed away yesterday morning and now I'm only down to two chickens and they need some new buddies!

Im interested to know what your chicken's favorite summer treats are? Mine LOVE slightly frozen pieces of watermelon.

It's wineberry season and I've got a lot growing in my yard. The chickens aren't able to get to them but there were a few berries with lots of holes in them from bugs so my grandfather threw them in with my silkies. They're very picky when it comes to food but absolutely went crazy for them...

I'm not the type of person to go after people online or write mean reviews, but I had a bad experience with Lancaster Fancy Fowl. I live near their hatchery so I went to pick up 3 silkie chicks from them. They brought an armfull of them out for me to pick, and the first 2 I was looking at...

I've really only had experience raising silkies and Rhode Island Reds. Right now I only have 3 silkies and I'd like to get a few new chicks to add to my collection:) I really really want a frizzled buff Polish bantam because they look like little owls but after realizing how difficult they...

I just found out that my favorite chicken has Crook/Wry Neck. I keep getting mixed advice from people, some say that there's nothing you can do and some say that they've been able to get their chicken back to 100%. Does anyone know what to do or give a chicken for this? I've heard of giving...

A little over a year ago, I got 3 silkie chicks from Lancaster Fancy Fowl. Two of them died when they were chicks and my favorite chicken, Remi is the only one who made it but she's always been a little smaller than my others. She's been mostly laying in the coop during the day for the past...

I've been wanting to get some Polish Bantam chicks for a while now. I soon realized that finding bantam sized Polish chicks at all were hard enough to find let alone finding someone willing to ship only two chicks. I also would have preferred to have at least one frizzle chick but that makes...

I'm thinking about getting peacock pheasants. Where is the best place to get them, and what is their personality like?

So after getting a few Silkie Bantams a few months ago, I've been wanting to get a few different breeds. I'm kind of looking toward a more unique or odd-looking chicken just because they're fun to have. I'm currently looking at Frizzle Bantams. Any others? Or, if anyone knows a place that I...

Does anyone know where Polish Frizzles are available? Do they sell eggs or chicks online anywhere?
