Thank you so much in advance! She isn't too welcome to human affection.

I don't mean any offense to anyone, but every time I scroll down to the comment sections on chicken YouTube videos, many of these younger commenters seem to be pre-teens and teenagers with either these as profile pictures: a) Mediocre furry or OC art b) Anime pictures c) Gacha Life d) Animation...

I have a three-month-old silkie pullet. All my other chickens don't do this, but she closes her eyes and sleeps every single time I pick her up. Any idea why she would do this? Otherwise she is very active on the grass and runs around when left alone.

I just acquired two 3-month-old Silkie pullets today, and so far they’re very sweet and are fine with being held. Both like to sleep on my lap. I’m very attached to them and usually like to hold my other chickens for at least 5-10 minutes a day, for about 15 or more times a day 😁 So would it be...

Hi, I received this chick as part of a “Feather-Legged Bantam Assortment,” which in the description mentioned that it could include Silkies, Barred Rocks, Millie D’Fleurs, e.t.c. If anyone has information on the sex that would be so helpful too! Thanks! - Valentina

Hi, I am brooding 1-week old chicks and one of them seems to get a case of pasty butt more often. I remove the feces and clean the area ASAP but today it appears that there is a swollen pink bump around his anus and I don’t know how to remove it for him! I read similar threads and applied...
