We had 2 adult silkies, one Hen and one Rooster. We decided to get some silkie chicks and purchased 7 (not sexed). Now that they are coming of age, we have realized that 5/7 are Roosters. We have 7 Silkie Roosters and 2 Hens. Do you think this will work out? They are 6 months old and seem to be...

Please help! We have been losing our chickens one by one almost weekly. We lost all 3 Buff Orpingtons (from a local hatchery and vaccinated), 2 Cochins (bought from local breeder and not vaccinated) and now today...a Japanese Bantam pullet. They just become lethargic. As soon as we notice, we...

We have 2 baryard bantam chicks that are about 10 weeks old. They both became very weak suddenly about 3 weeks ago. We thought they had gotten stepped on by our pygmy goats but they seemed to only worsen. We took them to a local vet on Friday and she suspects that they have a B2 deficiency. We...

I have a gorgeous 6 month old Silkie. She is far more docile than the other hens, even the other 2 Silkies. She comes when I call her but spends a lot of time sitting alone if we are not outside. She will even sit in the coop alone all day until I go in and take her out. I started realizing that...

We have had day old chicks before from a hatchery but this is all new territory for us! We have had a New Hampshire Red sitting on a Japanese Bantam egg for weeks. We thought there was no chance it had been fertilized but thought we would let her be just in case. Well- it hatched today! The...
