I wish we could have her inside, and I would t really be opposed to the idea except I think she is very much bonded with her silkie sister. I couldn’t separate them ☹🙁
We got her from a nearby seller, I think my husband found them on Craigslist but it was only a mile away from our house. Unfortunately I wasn’t there when he purchased them, and I never have spoken to the lady who had them. I think it was definitely shady!! We have 3 silkies, and she’s the only...
Our silkie is about 3 years old, and she has always had different feathers, but the state she is in right now is extremely worrisome. In fact, her sister sits with her all day and actually puts her underneath her wing when other chickens come near. I know she’s getting picked on. But this is...

If I get an answer I will reply it to you!
It’s like a snorting noise, almost like the sound that pugs make sometimes. And it’s not directed at me, or anyone else. Because she makes that sound when she’s just hopping around by herself too.

I’m looking for some help identifying the gender of these 7 baby chicks. They were hatched for my 1st grader’s class to learn all about chickens and how eggs develop into babies. We have 7, and they are all approximately 12 days old. Some are part silkie and and others are a mix of Orpington...
Our cat brought in a baby cottontail a couple hours ago. Well, actually I managed to get my cat away before she could run off with it. It seems to be ok, no punctures or blood. It’s still small, definitely belongs to a nest with its mama. But we live on 6 acres so finding the nest (or the...
Thank you! I’ll ask our vet! he’s really awesome about helping animals that most vets won’t treat, I’m sure he will be able to prescribe us any meds she may need. Is amoebic an anti inflammatory?
It’s possible she might have been frightened by our neighbors who are currently renovating their house. There’s constant noise from construction and people.
I will soak her feet in an epsom salt bath tonight!
I also cleaned out their coop and sprayed it down with a solution that kills any mites...
