    cats scared of chickens and chickens killed kitten! what should i do????

    If you can't put the hens in an enclosed area (with a roof section so they can't fly over), then the other option is to put the cats in an enclosed area. If you can't separate them there's really no other option but survival of the fittest.

    Buff Orpington - small chick

    I got these from a friend of mine. He has backyard chickens. He lives in a big property outside of the city zoned for roosters so he took my polish/silkie roosters (I had 2) and exchanged them for 4 orpington chicks. The orpingtons are now 6 weeks old and they're out of the brooder and into...

    Buff Orpington - small chick

    There were about 12 chicks in the brooder and they were all 2-3 day old chicks when I got them. I picked 4 of the fattest of the chicks. 4 weeks later, I got 3 big chicks with nice buff feathers and this tiny one that still has the yellow feathers except for the wings. All 4 of these are 4...

    Buff Orpington - small chick

    Hi all, I’m just a bit puzzled by my buff orpingtons. At least that’s what the guy told me they were. I got them by exchanging my 2 6-month-old roosters for 4 baby chicks. They were all born a day or 2 apart but as shown in the picture, one of them is half the size of the others and her...

    Bantams

    My modern games are the chillest chicken in my coop. The silkies are more moody. I'm not worried about them though because they can't fly whereas the modern games can just fly on to the 2nd floor of the coop. So yeah, I didn't get the seramas only because I'm worried the silkies will not be...

    Is my chicken a male or female?

    I'm a newbie so I'm still trying out my "recognition abilities". I think you have a hen. But from what the others were saying above, I think I need a lot more learning to do.

    My Coop Just sent me an email

    It hasn't changed much. LOL. Okay, so they went OO in the 90's or so but the guts are still the same. People ask me - how did you learn English (non-native English speaker here), I always say CoBOL. Hah hah!

    Aaaaccttuuaalllyyy.... I still get paid to do some CoBOL. Yeah man. There are a few survivors of the Y2K purge. And we programmers with CoBOL on their creds are so few these days that we get to charge big bucks. ;) ugh. i'm aging myself...

    Are silkie roosters as aggressive as any other breed?

    Depends on the rooster. I have a very chill rooster and then I have a "wanna be king of the coop" who almost killed my other rooster.

    If you have a 3g modem connected to your raspberry (they're pretty cheap these days and yeay, more electronics, hah hah), you can always us the AT+CMGS commands to send SMS messages to your phone.

    $100...What would you spend it on?

    I just went through some guy's house who has a major Christmas lights spread on his yard that he invited the public to walk through. The walkway to his front-door passes by the windows to his garage and he put animated Christmas lego sets on display in those windows! It's super awesome! My...

    $100...What would you spend it on?

    Okay, here goes. I'll give it to my mother. My mother wants this Christmas Village from Bed Bath and Beyond. It's $99.99. She'll have to cover the sales tax.

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    Hi Florida people. Who wants a super pretty silkie rooster? I tried to hatch a few of my eggs and one of them looks like a rooster. He's around 2 months old right now. He's actually not pure silkie. His dad is half silkie/half polish and his mom is pure silkie, so that makes him 1/4 polish...

    Silkie chicks

    My rooster has "streamers" sticking out of his head and he stands more upright at that age. But... I've only had 4 roosters total as my experience so my opinion is worth less than 2 Mexican centavos. Hah hah. Check out my Avatar pic. That's my first rooster. I think he was 3 months old in...
