    Silkie thread!

    This is my silkie (I think it is about 12- 14 weeks old) that is acting older than I thought. It has been crowing for a couple of weeks. It's a strong, solid crow! However, it has also cackled like a hen laying an egg many times. The last few days it has cackled so big that I had to look to...

    Silkie thread!

    I have a young Silkie (thought it was only 3 months old) that is acting much older. It has been crowing regularly for 1-2 weeks and has gotten very good at it. However, it also has been heard cackling like a hen that is laying an egg. It has cackled in the past but was heard just in the last few...

    Could someone help with sexing my six week old Silkie? I know it's early in the game and that silkies are hard to sex, but any first impressions?

    We have eggs that should have hatched yesterday (day 21 by our calculations). We are anxious to have chicks, but realize that we may have none or just a few hatch. Our eggs are NOT in an incubator, but instead are being cared for by our broody hen. I'm a bit nervous about disturbing her to...

    Abandoned eggs

    Yes, I'm going to find one today. I've been researching candling to get a better idea of the best methods, best materials to make my own, or the best commercial candler.

    Abandoned eggs

    The problem isn't the hen being able to set on all the eggs. My concern is whether or not I should allow my hen to continue setting on eggs that, have possibly, been left alone for too long before she began to set on them. I'm afraid the eggs may have gotten too cold and may no longer be...

    Abandoned eggs

    Hello! I'm hoping some of you could give me some guidance.... We noticed about a week ago that we had two broody hens (one red sex link and one black sex link). We decided to leave the eggs in the coop so as not to disturb the mother hens and interfere with incubation. Since then, one of...
