    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Hello everyone, I have a 10 month old male Silkie that I'm looking to rehome if anyone is interested. He has never been aggressive with me, I just have two of them and they fight. I'm located on the Kitsap Peninsula

    Hi all, wondering what you think. I live on the Kitsap Peninsula where it's getting down to around 50 degrees at night. I have four 6-7 week old chicks, two being Wyandottes, and two being Silkies. I just moved them from the brooder to the run part of my outdoor coop using the "playpen"...

    I got my first egg on Sunday! It was cracked, but still so exciting!

    Thanks for your input. So far the boys seem to be doing ok together. They are currently cuddling on their roost for the night. I am thankful that they both seem to be very sweet. I had no idea there was such thing as a chicken apron until you mentioned it. As far as adding some hens, I...

    So, it turns out BOTH of my brahma's are boys! I got them from a feed store as 3 day old chicks with a 90% chance of being female. I have no idea how those odds can be correct. Anyway, yesterday my husband fashioned a home for them away from the girls. We are hoping they will live...

    Here's a fun update, turns out I actually have 2 cockerels instead of 1! 90% odds? I just lost the hen lottery pretty badly!

    That's terrible! Poor girl! I'm also playing with the quarantine idea but am not sure if he would get too lonely or over aggressive if I keep him away from the girls. I don't want to take the chance that he hurts any of them, especially the silkie since she's so small. Can roosters live...

    My other question about keeping a cockerel is, my girls are one light brahma, two americaunas, and one silkie. Should I be concerned about not having enough other hens to keep him busy and/or hurting the silkie?

    Thank you CarolynF and MargaretYakoda for your feedback. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my cockeral. Maybe I will keep him... just to clarify, if I collect the eggs promptly, can we still eat them? If they are fertilized, is there a blood spot, and is that ok to eat as...
