Beautiful hand built coop for sale. Moving out of state and cannot take it with us. Coop will be 3 years old in January. Repainted this summer. Has chains to hold water and food. Three large nesting boxes. Two roosting bars (higher than nesting boxes). Can stand inside (About 6 ft tall at...

It's funny, I purposely put all the fertile eggs in the least favorite nesting box, but due to her brooding, it has now because a favorite nesting box. However, good news.....mamma has successfully hatched 4 babies so far. There are only two fertile eggs left unhatched. Today is day 20. So glad...

Thats good to know. Is her height from the ground a concern once chicks hatch? Also, the other eggs are a little dirty, maybe yolk from the "missing eggs"... could one of the chickens or this hen have eaten them? Is that normal? This baby chick that I found was mostly intact.

One of my hens went broody. We don't have a rooster so I bought some fertilized eggs for her to sit on and try to hatch. 3 eggs have gone missing. Yesterday at Day 18 I found a dead chick and half the shell in the waterer. What happened? Also, should/can I move her? She is up fairly high in...

Yes and she spends her days in the nesting boxes

Thank you. No idea what is wrong with her feathers

I have 11 pullets. 8 are laying, including my black Silkie. Everyone seems perfectly healthy except my Silkie. What is going on with her head feathers. (sorry if my terminology isn't great, I'm new to chickens) she use to have fluffy feathers that covered her eyes, now this (see picture). Before...

My hope is restored! Thank you. Time will tell. I will certainly post egg pictures as time goes on.

That would be great! Maybe both of the cream eggs I got one day are From my silkie. Maybe one was covered with hay and was a day old? The black copper and blue copper Marans hatched mid April. The splash Maran is younger but from the same guy. She hatched very end of May.

Great information for a newbie! Thank you! I'll check it out tomorrow.

fairly certain. i had two smaller identical cream eggs and I had one more egg than I have chickens that were laying. I only have one silkie.

Good to know. Thank you. I just can't believe their eggs are cream/off white. Not even light brown. The guy showed me his eggs (I asked to see them) and they were beautiful. Not the absolute darkest shade Ive seen online, but much darker than my flocks light brown eggs. I do know his birds are...

I added a Black Copper Maran, Blue Copper Maran, and Splash Maran to my flock a couple months ago. I was excited to see some pretty dark brown eggs in my basket this month. Two of the 3 have started laying and the eggs are cream colored (same as my Silkie's egg) lighter than my Barred Rocks...

Im no expert, but for 6 weeks it looks like a cockerel to me. Big red comb.

Do you think its normal that she stays on the roost all day?

I am new to chickens. We got our first babies in January. I am concerned about our Black Silkie. She is 6 months old. Starting laying a few weeks ago. She laid about 8 eggs, nearly everyday, and then suddenly stopped. She laid her eggs on the floor of the coop under the roosting bars, despite...

So I am starting to wonder if it is mites or lice?? I took my Silkie down from the roost and she ate and drank. Then she proceeded alternate cleaning her feathers under her wings, rubbing her beak side to side on the ground and flapping her wings a few times. She also has slightly dirty feathers...

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you! My husband is the busy medical student. I'm the chicken mamma. Good info. I can run with that.
