    Sexing a Silkie —Please help!

    Oh whew. She certainly has a pullet personality. And looks completely different from the roo we gave back. But I’ve never had silkies and every time we adjust everything to accommodate her, I think “if she’s a roo it’s going to be a huge bummer!” Plus she’s so sweet and we love her ☺️ Thank you!!

    Sexing a Silkie —Please help!

    Hi! Our silkie is about 4 months old now and I’m still not 100% sure she is a she. Can anyone tell from these pictures? Fingers crossed she’s a she!!

    Feeder Jammed - Chickens Quit Laying

    Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in this mistake! I feel like they are side-eyeing me now like "is she going to stop feeding us again?" We have one of the hanging feeders that blocks the opening if a rodent gets on it. In a year it's never gotten blocked. I barely did anything to...

    Feeder Jammed - Chickens Quit Laying

    Feeder Jammed - Chickens Quit Laying

    HI! We have 3 healthy happy laying hens (black aussie, easter egger, and wynadotte). They are almost a year old and were laying almost every day, no issues. We have a light in the roost to extend the day and we're in Seattle so it's not too cold here. Everything was great until something...
