    Chicks dying-one in recovery

    So I had gotten 4 saphire OE Chicks a little while back. Integration went over great and they joined the flock and was living with them harmoniously for a couple of weeks. All the sudden-the older chickens (2 months and some a bit older) have turned on my chicks all together with random...

    Pixies first pixie sized egg

    My OEGB, Pixie, is about 5 months and just laid her first egg. It's so tiny and cute so I had to share lol. It is pretty well shaped for her first egg? I'm a bit surprised.☺️ I've been told they can be okay layers and told they can be horrible layers. What is your experience? Shes my first to...

    Yep...I gave in to the tsc 50% off bin. Saphire Olive eggers?

    Some resemble my barred rock babies. A lot. Although I know it's not uncommon for certain breeds to resemble eachother as chicks. This one I'm unfamiliar with. First single photo doesn't so much as the darker one. Do they just vary in shades?

    Silkie randomly shaking head

    Hello! Not sure if this is a huge concern or not as she has no other issues (so far) but I recently noticed my 2 month old silkie shaking her head in a dizzy manner. It's not anything she's ever done before. She is eating and drinking fine. Just acting a bit off and doing this strange...

    Rooster exibiting signs of aggression-but only...

    To my daughter! I have an 11 year old that loves helping with the chickens and bantams along with just playing outside in general (our chickens free range). Well we have a new rooster who was perfectly content with everyone including her-up until today. But I noticed he was drawn to her...

    OEGB or Dutch bantams

    Curious on your thoughts. And if you know- what color is my hen considered? Just picked them up yesterday. I'm just a bit confused. Is the earlobe white on Dutch? If so-it kind of looks white here however not nearly as white as in photos I've seen online. I can take better photos if needed.

    Baby chick was stepped on

    Hello everyone. I'm hoping for some advice. I had taken my daughter to the doctors early this morning and when I came home I noticed no one had opened the coop-so I went over to let the crazies out. As I was counting them and getting their feed situated I kept coming up one short. So I went to...

    Silkie Breeders-Central PA

    Hello! Re-starting our flock after quite a few years of not being able to have any and looking for silkie breeders in PA. Preferably central. 😊 I'm not a huge fan of shipping after an AWFUL experience with the box being crushed...so I would prefer to just buy local or semi local.

    Silkie chick color-buff ??

    So I got a couple of chicks 1-2 weeks ago. This little one has me stumped. Still leaning buff but his or her sibling is pure buff where as this one has some black/blue coming through. Parent combos could be BuffXBuff BuffXSplash BuffXBlue Just buff with leakage?

    New chicks! Ages unknown

    Yesterday and today I bought 4 silkie bantam chicks from a local but they had no idea on their age. I guess they were given to them. Anyone familiar with silkies have any rough estimates? The little buff silkie is only a little over a week old. The 4 in question are the darker ones.
