    strange Silkie behavior

    My Silkie is acting different. I am pretty sure now that my black Silkie is a Roo. Anyway he has been opening and closing his mouth while stretching his neck. He is a very quiet bird and rarely makes a sound. He almost looks like he is clearing his throat. I am wondering if there could be...

    Silkies hen or roo

    I hope so. Yang has longer tail feathers. The other night I put Yang in the coop and she started making the weirdest sounds. Haven't heard them since. Only time will tell for sure. I am not really attached to Yang either. She has always been more skiddish, independent. I also see the...

    Silkies hen or roo

    I would like opinions on whether my chicks that are now 12 weeks are hen or roo. They look very different from each other. Yin is the black silkie. I think she is a hen. Yang is the buff silkie. I think this might be a roo. Yin...

    Show some pictures of your Araucanas, Ameraucanas or EEs!!!

    Here is my Amercauna, Robin and her buddy Eggie. Eggie is a gold sex link. Very smart and curious bird. Robin is the dominant bird, she warns when danger is near. She puff out her cheeks when sparring with other chickens, or to warn.

    who else has chicks in the house??

    We had our chicks in the house the first month. We realized that it was affecting my son's asthma. At first we thought he was sick. No it was the chicks, and dust. So we moved them to the garage until they were about 8-9 weeks. Now they are out in the coop, happy, and doing well. Still...

    The reason I like to come home

    I love hanging out with my chickens after work too. It's so therapeutic.

    Silkie behavior

    So I have a slight concern with my black silkie, Yin. Yin cannot keep up with the rest of the chickens when they are roaming the yard. We have a .25 of an acre. So not terribly big. If she gets out of eye sight she starts squaking for the other chickens. In the past one of the chickens...

    Tail wagging

    I had just given her one of her favorite treats. An overripe banana. Maybe she was telling me she was happy about the banana. I watch and see if she does it again next time I give her one.
