    Silkie not drinking water?

    So we got a new 4 month old silkie pullet yesterday. She has been eating, even took some popcorn as a treat today, but I haven’t seen her drink anything? I trimmed her crest cuz it was huge, which she seemed to have a hard time getting the popcorn after, I assume because her depth perception is...

    Silkie age and sex

    I just trimmed her crest today so she could see. She was missing her food and treats after I did, I think because now she can actually see correctly & her depth perception is off since it’s different without all the fluff lol

    Silkie age & sex guess

    I know it’s so hard & then sad to see them go when you’ve taken care of them. I got a 3 month old black one for free from a super nice lady on FB that took pity on my story that is supposed to be a pullet. Her comb is def different but she’s also non-bearded. Fingers crossed lol . If these other...

    The little one was the smallest of them all, I thought because it was the runt but maybe just because she is the only female hahahaha. Silkie problems :fl

    Silkie age & sex guess

    I hope at least 1 is a girl lol. I had 4, 2 slightly older ones I just had to rehome because they started crowing ugh. Have a lead on 1 or 2 actual hens in case I need to get another if the one turns out to be the only girl so she isn’t alone

    Silkie age & sex guess

    So I have 2 silkies I got from a lady. They are hatchmates but one is 1/2 the size of the other. They are supposed to be about 3-4 months old. Does this look right? And what gender would you guess they are? Thanks in advance!

    Permethrin yard spray for dog fleas?

    Awesome! Thanks everyone! Honestly I have never even seen a bee in my yard, only wasps lol. Also I read that it should be used with an IGR (insect growth regulator) to really get rid of the problem long term since the permethrin just kills the adults

    So I want to make a spray for my yard to kill the fleas for my dogs, and also to help with the flies, mosquitoes, etc. I want to use mostly cedar oil but add a bit of permethrin as well. I live in Florida & the pests here are unbearable right now. My girls free range so would the permethrin be...
