Good morning all, been a while since I was here, but a quick hi, hope all is well with everyone's birds.......

I have 6 Swedish Flower Hen roosters free to rehome. Any takers?

And a good morning to you all from us! Mananged to hatch out 22 Silkies over the last 2 days.... Placed 38 eggs in lockdown - no I do not candle - so not complaining too much. Also have some Swedish Flower Hen eggs incubating from my girls....

Congratulations!

Got 11 eggs yesterday, seems the Silkies have gone on strike, but the others have upped production. Also 2 SFH eggs laid, just need to get the 3rd hen laying now....

Meredith, they are Swedish Flower Hens, not APA recognized yet though....

So folks it's picture time........ Hope you all like them...............

Angela, welcome to the world of silkies. I have had them for over 2 yewars now and here are a few hints for you. Do not let them free range, their upward vision is very limited and they do make easy prey for predators.. Also they are prone to bullying by larger fowl if you mix them...

So, my SFH got moved in to their new coop and run last night. I found them all roosting outside the building on various perches. Caught each one and moved them inside for the night. I wondered how long it will take them to go to bed on their own... Well, tonight was a success - all up on their...

Wild, sorry for your losses...... may I suggest getting hardware cloth..... Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in but not keep predators out.... Not a cheap item to buy, but probably the best investment you can have if you keep chickens..... I buy 36' high hardware cloth, make a 12" skirt...

And on a lighter note to Matt's post, one of my trio of Swedish Flower Hens laid her first egg today! Needless to say it is in the incubator.....

That is excellent. I use the dry incubation method, how about you?

do you want some?

So peeps, first incubation of the year starts tonight, I have 40 Silkie eggs going in..... Fingers crossed for a good hatch.....

Thanks Matt

So, here is a question for the "experts": I am buying hatchery chicks for the first time ever - they will have Marecks vaccination, so do I feed medicated feed or not? I know from experience, when they get moved outside they will be given Sulmet in their water. I do not want cocci again.....

hi all, just a quick hello to those who know me, yes I am still lurking........ 2 things: 1. Incubator fires up this weekend..... 2. Anyone have spring show dates and contact details? Happy Hatching... Gavin
