Hi All,
I bought two silkie hens on Monday and they haven’t been out of the coop yet is this normal?I don’t want to pick them up and frighten them just yet as I want them to get used to me. There’s already a few other chickens in the enclosure but they are only young so it’s not like they are...
No they weren't we bought them at 3 weeks old. It looks like the third and the second one up close look like the boufans are curving round their face. However the third ones feathers bones on the head can be seen from the back.

Hi we have a gold laced orbington bantam and we are struggling to sex it. We have a rooster from a different breed and he seems very protective over her or him. Everytime we take it out of the cage he goes crazy and cries and flaps his wings. I’ve attached some pictures below.
Hi, we have hatched a rare breed of chicken and we are have difficulty in telling whether it is a hen or a rooster, it is three weeks old can someone help!
Hi! We have 2 3 week old chicks and are wanting to buy a week old chicken and put it in the pen with the others? Would this be okay or would it put the younger chick at more of a risk??
