Hey everyone, hopefully someone can give me some tips or suggestions! One of my girls has been limping/wobbly when she walks. I noticed it 2 days ago and brought her inside. She can put wait on it but has a hard time pivoting to the side and that’s when she gets wobbly and loses her balance...

Born in May, bought as a pullet, everyone guessed pullet but sure enough it’s my luck I think she may be a he! These waddles and the comb just really blooomed out of no where in the last couple of weeks. The other reason I thought she has been a pullet as my roo constantly dances around her and...

4 silkies coming up on 12 weeks now. What is the blue/greyish looking silkie? Was bought as a white but clearly not. Thank you!

Hey all, I was told by a few that I should double the size of my run. I initially planned on free ranging then we built it but then when it came time I was terrified after seeing hawks show up. So we got a 8x8 dog kennel and attached it to the run and through some netting over the top...

Hey all, What is wrong with me? We have a good size yard and I have been so excited to free range. Now my kiddos are ready to be let out (with supervision) and I am terrified. Especially as yesterday I went to and a hawk flew up and landed on the fence eyeing my neighbors chickens. 😳 Any tips...

I know they are young! But compared to the other few silkies I raised all 4 of these guys have a bit different combs developing. Ugh…how I hope that little blue or splash, was a pullet…no idea what he is. Bought as a white silkie and was an all yellow chick. Pretty sure it’s a boy with that...

I would appreciate any suggestions! Super excited that all of it is done! 2 months in the making!!! We just need to cut the entry way into the coop and secure it. How is ventilation? We live in utah…so I wanted lots for summer, will close off the big ones and drafts in the winter. Any tips...

I am devestated and currently in tears over this and don’t know what to do. I have had a small silky chick that I bought with 5 other chicks. It has been compromised from the beginning. It took weeks to heal its pasty butt, small etc. So a few days ago I noticed his eye seemed smaller and...

Hi all! I bought these as white silkies. Now a few weeks later…they are very different. Hard to get in the photo but the all white one actually has a very light grey but and down.

Bought as a frizzle bantam. Assumed Cochin with the feet. His feathers are all stringy poofy and soft. Seems like down but he is 8 weeks are so and the soft ones haven’t changed much? Just curious! Thank you!

These guys are all between 6-9 weeks. All from IFA. Labeled as what breed I bought them as. Here is what I think I have. 2 Light/Dark brahma - pullets (labeled at store) 1 - Assorted Cochin - bought as a pullet. Is it a Blue Cochin? And hopefully a pullet? 2 - Buff Silkies - no idea 🤷‍♀️ My...

So, I am heartbroken, 2 days ago I saw an ad and went to pick up a few silkies. Well needless to say I was horrified seeing the conditions and the hoarding around in around the house. Even when I went to see the chicks there was one dead in the brooder. Went through saw only 2 white silkies and...

Super excited to have found this site! Lifelong animal lover, grew up on a farm in Kansas. Soooo excited to start our little backyard flock! We have been waiting such a long time until it was right! My husband and I are professional Herpetologist (study of reptiles and amphibians)…so needless...

Hey all! I picked up 6 chicks at 3 different local farm stores. I posted pics of them and what they were labeled as…and what I think a few might be as far as breeds? I know they are too young too sex, but if anyone wants to guess!
