I have a silkie who's about 6-8 wks old who's not eating and not acting right. I separated the chick & have it in my garage. I did hear it sneeze last night. What should I do?
All of a sudden we have flies galore in the chicken run. We're not having a problem in the coop, just the run. Any suggestions on how to control the flies?
I ordered 7 white silkies, straight run, mix of bearded & non bearded from a hatchery. This morning someone had said that usually the hatcheries only give you non bearded. Is that true? How can I tell if these babies are bearded or not. They're only 5 days old. Can you tell this early?
Right now we have 9 hens & 1 roo that are 7 months old. We bought them from a backyard breeder who said they were australorps. Well.. they're mixed, & we really wanted full breeds. So, we ordered some full breeds, 17 pullets & 2 roos that are currently in the brooder and are about 4 weeks now...
