    4 week old silkies gender

    I’m glad the buff one ended up being a girl :) Very sorry about the white one. May she rest in peace.

    Let me see your friendliest chicken!

    This is Wednesday. She’s a bit of an escape artist, but she is a very friendly little girl. Whenever we have people over she is always their favourite.These are my 2 new Belgian chicks. They are very friendly and often like to snuggle up in my jumper and take naps.The picture quality isn’t that...

    Leave it. As long as it isn’t effecting them they are perfectly fine.

    The age old question- he or she??!?

    The white one is definitely a cockerel. The brown one is possibly a cockerel, though it is still to early to say. Update at 9 weeks.

    Chicks not hatched!!

    I like to wait until day 25. If it hasn’t hatched by day 25 I like to candle the egg, although lots of people just chuck it. Don’t give up yet, some chicks just take longer.

    Tips on catching a fox in suburban Melbourne (Australia)?

    Just be careful what you do since it is quite strict about how you can trap/kill/handle foxes and other animals in Australia. If you are caught miss handling them you can face a hefty fine. Luckily unlike most predators foxes aren’t as strict, but you should still be careful.
