    Silkie thread!

    Hello, I have two Silkies somewhere around 3 months old, all of my hens are free range but go in the coop and roost at night. I'm wondering since Silkies don't roost what should I have available for them to sleep in at night? They just cuddle up together out in the open for now.

    Hello from the inland empire

    Thank you all for the greetings ;) @Michael OShay I love them all but I have found that my blacks are more skittish than my reds, they will all come up to me and start peeping but if I put my hand in to pick them up then they are the first to back off, maybe they will warm up to me when they...
