    Do hens have a bigger appetite?

    Thanks, mine seem to do the same thing. The (maybe) hens will follow the food around any where but I'll hold a grape cut in half right in front of a (maybe) rooster and he'll just step away and he kind of seems to say "ladies first" :)

    My chickens are sneezing

    Silkie thread!

    Blue silkies usually have one white toenail, where as black silkies have all blacks. Also if you have trouble telling white and buff chicks apart white silkies have all black feet and buff silkies foot skin is tannish. Hope this helps!
